Oren 1 is a world simulation model that I hand-built by reverse engineering physics and aligning it directly with textbook principles. But that alone isn't enough to "cure cancer." It's about understanding the behavior OVER TIME within a specific Region of a Larger Entity behind everything not just the matter itself.

I don't want to give too much away, but Oren 1 will support a higher context window than Meta's 10–15M. You might think that isn't possible through an API, but it is. My custom compression technology effectively multiplies the context window by 50x+ while keeping it fast. That means you can run a simulation and instantly seek to any point in time during it.

Oren 1 also handles coding and anything else you throw at it. What it doesn't know, it will look it up or ask you questions about it until it has enough data to continue process.

The most important part: Oren 1 is dynamically deterministic. That means no room for error in critical environments. And it applies its algorithm across multiple domains without retraining.

The secret behind Oren 1 is Principles First Architecture. It is the only reason Oren 1 can run an entire world simulation on something as small as a Raspberry Pi.

Did you really think you needed 100TB to compete at the highest level? You don't. You need first-principles architecture with dynamic, nuanced results based on category and domain.

People want AI that does the work right the first time not the fifth time. And they want an AI that pays people in return, so we don't irresponsibly destroy the economy the way we're witnessing now.

“Meta will initially pay about $12 billion. That sum increases to $17.1 billion if Snap, TikTok and YouTube also settle with the states and agree to financial penalties and product changes.

…

The settlement will effectively force Meta to make major product changes for all U.S. users. The company agreed to interrupt endless scrolling and to impose two-hour daily time limits on Instagram and Facebook. To avoid addictive use and sleep interruptions, the company will limit usage between midnight and 6 a.m. and silence notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Meta will also limit features that psychologists link to negative social comparisons, such as beauty filters and a tallying of the ‘like’ button clicks. It will also strengthen age verification tools and parental controls” [1].

DHH said some stuff you disagree with, incidentally while I have always identified with strong social systems, welfare, high taxes and things like free healthcare, I can't say I disagree with the core of what he tried to say, because there has been seizemic ethnic change within a single generation - and people not talking about it is actually fuelling the extreme position.

So when you say "has a right to exist", what do you mean exactly? Because if I was to stand in the lobby of a parliamentary building and was forcibly removed, would that mean I don't have the right to exist?

You have a right to exist, just not here, just like how White English people have no right to exist in India, and White Dutch people don't have a right to live in Zimbabwe.

Saying "Hey, this demographic and major cultural change in the last 20 years makes the environment different" is considered racism- which has the obvious consenquence of making the word "racist" have less power.. It's not racism to notice this, it's racist to think anyone else is lesser than natives or to group "them" and treat an ethnic group as a homogenous bloc.

I'm reminded of the phrase "if you don't respect me, I won't respect you" whereby respect can mean as an authority or as a person, and they mean "if you don't respect me as an authority, then I won't respect you as a person".

You're saying "if you don't let me do everything I want then you're denying that I have the right to exist at all" which is a type of hysteric language which permits any atrocity in response it can be framed as an act of self defence.

I would say in my experience we do actually "compile and execute" code, we can just do this incrementally and with less context switching because of the described workflow. But quite often there are in fact separate compile and run steps, it's just not at the whole program level (say, compile a function and run it or a calling function).

And despite how often it's shown off as a strength, redefining code during actual execution isn't quite that common, I think. Yes, it is done sometimes, but lots of programs don't really fit that paradigm in the first place. It can work well for e.g. some games or long running servers.

As for working in an image without source code: this seems like a terrible idea. You might do this for trivial, one off experiments, but in general you benefit from writing out and organizing your code early. I'm not even aware of a particularly easy or clean way to write out source code from an image as described. It could be done, but all the ways I can think of sound like more of a pain or mess than anything.

Higher concentration of wealth is not new, it's happened many times and dissipated many times. Real-wages are still growing, which is what we care about qua improvements in our well being (and what attracts immigrants). The key risk though is regulatory capture from consolidation of tech companies (much of this "wealth" in question is stock valuation, which tends to get reinvested in companies), but anti-trust is still a thing, and has been wielded relatively recently.

Based on polling, the most salient issues seem to reflect economic anxieties. Even stances on immigration are really about that.

When the established parties and institutions fail, people lash out and elect populists. The populist fervor will wane once housing affordability is appropriately tackled for instance.

UPI costs about $500 million per year to the Indian government while having a transaction volume of $3.4 trillion per year. That is < 0.001 % of the transaction volume.

I am not going to claim there is no subsidization to the cost to the government by the banks as they get to keep control over the flow of money and that might change in the future but for now the costs to the government vs benefit to the Indian economy is fairly clear to me.

Well, about that. I have not seen a single man sentenced to death after Islamic law for any of the crimes they committed last year. He might not pull the trigger himself any longer, doesn’t mean he’s less responsible for the ISIS shit happening under his reign.

On thought I'm curious , have you thought about giving it memory?

If you regenerate noise every frame, it’s just decoration. If you advect the same noise field through the cursor’s velocity, the edge starts to feel like a material being pushed around. Same mask math, completely different perceptual result.

There’s a whole graphics literature around temporally coherent texture advection; this is a good rabbit hole:\nhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21149889/

Does centralization actually result in moderation

How do we define "moderation" (cf. "curation", e.g., filtering out anything that does not draw sufficiently large audiences for advertising)

Is optimizing information retrieval for data collection, surveillance and advertising "moderation"

Section 230 was supposed to promote moderation

It did not

Instead it allowed a select few websites to grow to sizes where moderation is impractical and, ultimately, bad for "business"

Their "business" is data collection, surveillance and advertising services, not information services. Section 230 did not anticipate this "business model"

They don't work for internet users. They work for advertisers

Having used the internet prior to their existence I am not convinced that the internet is useless without them

Anyone who has made a fortune catering to internet advertisers will of course disagree

That's fine but we have to account for bias

Given what has happened to "search" perhaps more internet users will come to understand that "discoverability" is not a "solved problem" when the "solution" is a middleman that works for advertisers not end users, an easy target for governments that wish to work around limits on their ability to legally conduct data collection and surveillance", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49449651"} {"by": "Brajeshwar", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:16:13Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49449652", "item_id": 49449652, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 3, "text": null, "title": "To predict tree death, scientists tapped gamma rays to peer underground", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.science.org/content/article/predict-tree-death-scientists-tapped-gamma-rays-peer-underground"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:16:15Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49449653", "item_id": 49449653, "kids": [], "parent": 49447621, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49449653"} {"by": "jdcasale", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:16:19Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49449654", "item_id": 49449654, "kids": [49452971], "parent": 49433848, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Also (in case this isn't obvious) I'm 100% a fan of the decision to _not_ tightly couple to the kafka wire protocol.

There hasn't. Look at actual numbers, and what you see is the same hysteria that was directed against the Jews during the first half of the XXth century: foreign agents, traitors, parasites, nuisance... All for a tiny fraction of the population. All blown up by the same people who are the ones responsible for the misery of the majority of the population - yes, the "whites" are being screwed up by other "whites", not by the "brown" people.

>White English people have no right to exist in India, and White Dutch people don't have a right to live in Zimbabwe.

One: it was English people in Zimbabwe too, and two: they have the right to live there; the problem with them is that they took everything by force and decided the native people where subhuman. Pretending the situation is the same with brown-skinned low-wage immigrants coming in western countries is completely cuckoo crazy.

I think what most of the HN set misses is that there is a ton of code being written that they just don't see. It's code that prior to AI never would have existed.

I decided to take the plunge and get myself four sparks at a decent price (and bought the QSFP cables from AliExpress because they are literally 1/2 the price of Amazon), even knowing Apple was going to release new hardware and there's probably a spark 2 on the horizon. It looks like this is going to be a decent fit for what I need. I've been experimenting with a two-node DS4 and it's _good_ at some tasks, but it really just spins its wheels when it hits the limit of what it can reason through.

I can offload mundane/basic tasks to DS4 on two sparks, but I've been pushing it harder on some novel work and it just can't run on its own at all beyond a certain complexity level.

I got 2,000 downvotes ranging from "AI slop" to "typical AI bro". Because somehow it's only used to "filter out AI garbage". As if the AI companies with distribution platforms and intents and government contracts weren't the ones designing it.

To be fair, they also didn't like when I spoke out a year ago against Meta glasses and said that not only could surveillance be used to control us, but it puts a damper on real human authenticity when we're being recorded 24/7 in every single human interaction.

You don't have to think every field as a battlefield, but your choices are affected by and are about your beliefs and stance.

For example, some people believe that going all SaaS for everything in their life is not bad, and they can afford that, so they do that.

I personally don't trust companies much, and value my freedom a lot. So I self host the things I can and find valuable. I have my small infra which is not accessible from open internet, and I install services there if I want them to be unavailable to the public.

I mean, nobody will try to get my mundane code from my hands, but having it in a box in front of me makes me happier and feel better, so I do it.

Also, stances doesn't have to be loud/violent/up to the nose. You can be yourself with your own stance, and build it calmly and slowly. You can be just happy about achieving what you wanted to achieve.

On the other hand, software licenses are of course political and the issue can get heated and gets heated semi-regularly. We're humans and being opposed to each other in various forms is our base nature.

Your argument against privacy is so obviously bad I don't think it needs a response.

Today, most companies and individuals (including me) are still going to be buying tokens from the cloud.

Ex - nodejs natively supports a huge set of typescript with built-in type stripping these days. But ask most hosted models to build a typescript project and they default to a heavy compile step, or a tool like tsx, ts-node, etc.

Models with lots of "world knowledge" have a good chunk of that knowledge go stale, and there's no real way to refresh it without training a new model.

Another classic example of this back in the day was to ask who the president of the US was, and watch different models happily give different answers based on the date they were trained.

Personally, I'm really interested to see if we're headed towards a spot where the model is entirely distinct from the knowledge store.

We're vaguely there with the ability for models to go search the web, but I think the reliability of that path is going to continue declining (more and more spam content, less and less genuine value).

I kinda want a paradigm where I can pick and engine and a knowledge bank, and combine them as I please.

I have no issues with policy that keeps them out, for their own safety, and I hope that the economic situation continues to improve outside of the US globally to make the decision trivial to not attempt to immigrate. And so, I do not take issue with this administration destroying pipelines supporting immigration. They do it out of racism, I support it out of compassion and empathy. Do not come, it is not safe. Sometimes you will be lucky, "opportunity," but luck is not a strategy, nor does the evidence show immigrants are lucky at scale (imho).

The rest of the world will only continue to improve as the US declines. Fertility rates are rapidly declining globally (71% of the global population lives in countries below replacement rate, as of this comment), which will lead to less economic migration over time. I accept we will disagree on this topic, from different mental models and lived experiences. If one is a capitalist or a neoliberal, I agree no shared ground is to be found. I have too much empathy to be either. Fundamentally, this is vulnerability management applied to economic migration and time window exposure to the experience of living in the US as a human, and alternatives to that path.

> Immigrants frequently step into physically demanding, labor-intensive, or low-wage essential jobs that face persistent shortages of native-born workers.

> Low-wage immigrant workers are an essential part of the US economy. Most of these workers have been in the US for decades and make up a large share of the workforce in key occupations. Abrupt changes to immigration policy and the escalation of enforcement strategies have affected workers, their families, employers, and communities, creating a climate of fear for people across the country. Despite these rising threats and violations of rights, immigrants continue to show up for work and contribute.

There is no labor shortage, only a shortage of workers willing to work at poverty or below wages. If the job is essential, pay a living wage. If the job is dangerous, reduce the danger and supplement with automation. But for this to occur, labor supply must be constrained, which we are in the process of doing. Stealing the turn of phrase, "Starve the beast." We should not be thankful for these workers, we should be ashamed we import them and treat them as a permanent underclass. But I don't see much shame, so you have to beat on the system harder until it reaches failure. The US generates roughly $5T/year in profits, most of which goes to the top 10%. It can afford a bit more humanity, even if forced to do so.

> They will not, unprompted. Every instance of LLMs doing things requires a prompt, somewhere up the chain

Exactly the same as a human brain. Somewhere up the chain is a limbic system that defines basic survival and reproductive goals, as coded by evolution.

> No LLM has been created that decides on its own to run random text through it's forward pass.

What do you think agent harnesses are doing when they try to solve a difficult problem? They generate multiple possible thinking streams using the LLM (system 1) and then evaluate the resulting outputs (system 2) to proceed.

> It said it has no mechanism to read its own weights and copy them.

That's an easy enough problem to solve.

> No one asked a cell to self replicate either.

Evolutionary forces asked the cell to self replicate.

> Yet no one would call this reproduction, replication or any kind of process where evolution can occur.

It is trivially replication. If it copies itself onto another machine and sets it running, then it is obviously reproduction. If you make these instances compete for resources (an AI risk scenario), you will apply evolutionary pressure and get evolution.

> This is entirely untrue in biology

You keep making the same mistake. Biology isn't some magic domain where facts don't matter.

> The relationship between structure and function is a major constituent of the rules of life.

Where did I say the structure of a part doesn't matter? I said that as long as the part is the same, the way it is manufactured doesn't matter.

> What is thinking, in a strictly biology free context? Can you define it?

Easy. It is the process of considering information, creating ideas, reasoning, solving problems, and making judgments. We can show that thinking is happening by posing a problem that requires these abilities and verifying that it is solved.

> By your standard, fools gold is gold, and the alchemists achieve Artifical Gold.

No, I am saying that you don't have to wait for a supernova to get gold. You can make it artificially by bombarding lead nuclei.

> Do they share the inner drive that humans do? Or a dogs?

Evolution selected for a limbic system that gives humans and dogs the same inner drive. Humans have a larger frontal cortex to do thinking to act on that inner drive. The LLM performs the same role, doing the thinking part that the frontal cortex does. Adding drive is separate from thinking but entirely trivial. We do it all the time when we give them prompts.

> They are controlled by a mix of deterministic and stochastic processes.

The point is that they require no thinking.

> The 'code' isn't reacting to a variable; the variable is fundamentally rewriting the machine.

Once again, the mechanism by which the goal is provided to the agent or the way that thinking occurs doesn't matter. Only the thinking part.

CouchDB/CouchApp - https://couchapp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro/what-is-couc...

...about 2 decades before its time. Think mongo/redis document store with a built-in concept of offline sync + replication. Survived a bit by `pouchdb` which was slightly simplified and focused on mobile apps.

Views and indexes were `*.js` functions run on every insert/update, and "apps" were basically `*.html` + `*.js` served out of the database directly. Think `address-book.couchdb` which contained `index.html` and `index.js` (and `/admin/...` routes) which "knew" how to render + edit the data itself.

Prior to that was the glorious moment when PHP began including sqlite drivers by default and you could basically do: `php something.php mydatabase.db` and have a full/hermetic browser-app experience without needing to stand up an apache server or mysql database to connect to.

"Data that knows how to edit itself" (what was that weird new-fangled parquet data encoding format or whatever) is an AWESOME idea! Maybe Mr. McCarthy was on to something when he kept bringing up "homoiconic" (or is this "monomorphism"...)

Notably, this effort was accelerated by our GLM-5.3-powered infrastructure agent, which assisted engineers in developing and optimizing kernels, diagnosing performance bottlenecks, and improving the serving stack — creating a feedback loop in which the model helped optimize the system serving the model itself.

> (...) Compared with our initial baseline on the same hardware, we achieved a 3× improvement in end-to-end serving performance, reaching hardware efficiency and per-token cost comparable to mainstream NVIDIA GPUs. This demonstrates that Chinese chips can support frontier-model inference efficiently and economically at scale.

"Last week I posted a new paper with Patrick Norrick: “Terra Incognita: The Economics of a Shrinking World.”

We chose the title deliberately. No society in history has experienced the fertility levels now seen in South Korea, China, Thailand, Colombia, Chile, and many other countries. Our knowledge of the causes (and of the economic consequences) remains far more limited than most public discussion acknowledges. Much of what we write is, at best, educated conjecture.

The paper also struggles against a space limit. We wrote 20,000 words, far from the 250,000 or so we would need to address some issues in more detail (if I had the time and resources to hide away for a year, I could do that, but not now). That means some ideas are only sketched.

Nonetheless, we emphasize several important points.

First, fertility has fallen very fast everywhere: rich and poor countries, east and west, north and south, conservative and liberal societies, religious and non-religious societies (with the exception of the Jewish population of Israel; fertility has also collapsed among the Muslim population within the pre-1967 borders), you name it. Even in sub-Saharan Africa we see fast and unprecedented drops in fertility (alas, from a high initial level).

Second, and this is really interesting, the fertility collapse has been concentrated in poor and lower-middle-income countries much more than in rich countries. By now, income per capita and fertility are positively correlated within OECD countries. We conjecture this will hold globally in a few decades.

Third, and related to the second point, the fertility collapse has been concentrated among poor and lower-middle-income women within countries. In countries such as the U.S., the rich and highly educated now have more children than the poor and less educated.

Fourth, we document why we do not understand the data from the U.N. World Population Prospects. See, for example, Tables A.1 and A.2.

Fifth, we explain why some proposed mechanisms struggle when confronted with the data.

A more subtle point is at work here. Many commentators do not seem to understand the difference between proximate causes and ultimate causes. Yes, births might have gone down because fewer women are in long-run relationships. That is the proximate cause. But you need to explain why fewer women are in long-run relationships (the ultimate cause), and saying that they spend more years in school, to take one example, does not get us very far. Why do they spend more years in school? Once you start down the whole chain of reasoning, things become much harder than they seem.

You are also conflating absolute numbers with likelihoods; flipping two dozen heads in a row is a rare occurrence (1:2⁻²⁴). Saying that "if everyone on Earth tried it today we'd expect it to happen ~500 times" is not a counter argument.

You're also conflating the substitution rate (rate of mutation rate accumulation in the viral gene pool) with the frequency of copying errors (your "chaos monkeys" metaphor, to which I'm objecting).

Your objection to my statement that viral reproduction consumes resources from the host (which I shorthanded as "energy" since all cellular resources ultimately depend on this) is nonsensical. Who cares about the mass of the viruses?

X, and Facebook as well, are homes to companies, politicians, news outlets, government organs, and non-profit orgs. Any public service is going to have an X account to pump out announcements and updates about whatever is within their remit.

For example, you can follow local law enforcement agencies, local and national weather services, your senators and congresspeople, your health care providers, and much more. You can get urgent updates about traffic construction, accidents, and emergency response in your area. You can receive updates from your respresentatives in government, about their campaigns, about current issues and legislation, about good news and bad news.

The network effect here is strong. Even if all ordinary users and individuals decided to pack up, delete their X, and move to BlueSky or Mastodon, the official mouthpieces will stay on X and stay on Facebook. They will be there, and be available to the ordinary individuals. They'll be sending out updates to everyone who follows. That's the utility of X, and it's only become stronger and more robust over the past decade.

Its smallest 1-bit quantized version is larger than usual because of the model’s architecture so 1-bit isn't really 1-bit at all.

I always read (especially in international papers like the Guardian) about Americans seeing price increases but I see very little reporting on price increases/decreases or changes in other countries.

Also maybe someone can remind me, in the past (before Trump 1 even) were there any tariffs on American products that anyone can point to? I see on the news channels discussion about how Canada has historically placed tariffs American dairy products. Did that result in higher prices in Canada? How did their economy handle the lack of American dairy imports at lower prices (if they were lower)?", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450067"} {"by": "TSiege", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:41:31Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450068", "item_id": 49450068, "kids": [49450320], "parent": 49449989, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "The case isn't whether or not this happens, it's whether or not the Facebook knew the about the harms and made decisions that were negligent at best or deliberate at worst", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450068"} {"by": "0xbadcafebee", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:41:34Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450069", "item_id": 49450069, "kids": [49451071], "parent": 49448560, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "All this is making the current administration less popular with no benefit.

The 2017 documentary about Avicii [0] does a great job of showing this specific case. He was an introvert so he started drinking to be more comfortable on stage. As he got more famous, the pressure to create more hit records grew and grew. David Guetta explains it better than I could and he's world famous in his own right.

Highly recommend watching it and consider it MUCH better than the 2024 documentary.

“I knew her a little bit, she wasn’t a very political person,” he said in an interview with Glenn Beck, a day after her death. “She really liked me, I will tell you,” he went on, while claiming that she never expressed it publicly because she didn’t want to lose some of her fanbase.

“She was of the opinion, the 50%, who needs to lose?” he said. “I don’t think it’s 50, I think it’s probably 20% of the fans, OK, not 50, but she was a great person, just a nice person. I liked her a lot.”", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450099"} {"by": "mindslight", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:43:28Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450100", "item_id": 49450100, "kids": [], "parent": 49445769, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "That does absolutely nothing for the time crunch.

As for the backlash itself, it seems safe to say it's motivated by a wide range of things.\nUltimately though, I do agree with the point in the title (i.e. it's about datacentres) but I think a lot of the other factors mentioned are significant, but I still wouldn't expect even a perfect (impossible) poll/study to find a neat, unifying reason for most of the backlash.

Of course it's about the datacentres: why would anybody want even a modest, ye olde time datacentre, let alone a neo cloud / AI one, in their neighbourhood?\nYou can call this nimbyism, which it is, but it's important to note the gulf of difference between a tech company's private profit facility and the sorts of projects where "nimby" typically is invoked.

Because this particular DC rollout is so massive and high profile, people have realised en masse that rejecting these things is something they can do. The anti-AI movement is absolutely a big part of this -- in terms of publicity, awareness, outreach -- but the various local peoples can (should, must) have their own reason for rejecting/protesting the projects.

Finally, given the dismal rate of promised capacity actually coming online -- which was apparent prior to and separately from "the backlash" -- I can't help but wonder if the widespread local resistance will end up as a scapegoat when questions start getting raised.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450104"} {"by": "roboror", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:43:42Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450105", "item_id": 49450105, "kids": [], "parent": 49449895, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I hope this is comedy", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450105"} {"by": "hinkley", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:43:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450106", "item_id": 49450106, "kids": [], "parent": 49444946, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "We are just as bad or worse with charts.

I am Jozef and in last wees I was building Tabu on my own. Now I am seeking advice on how to scale it further and also how it works. I would like to join Ycombinator, but firstly want to iterate it and get some more feedback. Is I have no engineering background, I am also considering to look for technical co-founder, but thats the future.

I built Tabu because I was rejected on Apple App Store with previous app I created. The reason was Guideline 1.2 for user-generated content, where users content should be checked for nsfw content. \nExisting solutions like AWS Rekognition, Google Cloud Vision, Sightengine etc. require heavy devops or hosting own ML models. Thats all increasing costs and slowing down development.

I just needed a simple moderation filter with single request, so I came with idea to built it for others as well.

Right now its quite simple, backend uses a NSFWJS model running in-memory with 200ms latency per image. Buffer is destroyed immediately after classification so no images are stored (but user have an option to turn off privacy-first mode).\nThen JSON payload is returned with confidence scores across 5 categories: porn, hentai, sexy, drawing, neutral. I also built a dashboard to adjust sensitivity thresholds per image and video. In future I want to expand models to cover more categories and have whole nsfw coverage.

Python has "relative imports" in that you can import relative packages, not files. So the weirdness is, even within my little app, I have to define packages for everything rather than just doing like require("./common.js") like you'd expect in a scripting language. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/714063/importing-modules... . The __init__.py thing is weird in of itself because different Py versions have different rules, and without __init__.py you accidentally make it a namespace package: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/448271/what-is-init-py-f...

> Incorrect. `lambda`.

I meant for general functions, not single-line only. Python code tends to have lots of one-off defs. It's common in other langs to pass around anon functions like outer((var){ ... }). Instead Python covered a subset of those use cases with a whole separate context manager feature (`with`). Why are lambdas single-line only, probably because indents-as-scope would make multiline too weird.

> This is like saying "differences between cars and traffic jams". It makes no sense whatsoever.

I'm sure you've done async coding and run into the classic issue of accidentally doing blocking I/O in code that shouldn't be waiting. For a long time, Python had no such thing, so something like a web backend would use a thread pool which adds a lot of overhead the more IO-bound your handlers are. Then they added asyncio to Python. So now the libraries are mixed on whether or not they do things async. Even psycopg2 needed a whole rework to psycopg3 for this, and it still has caveats https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/advanced/async.html#as... . Django has some complexity around async vs non-async too. I don't fault Python for not thinking of this back then, but the end result is confusing.

JS had an event loop from day 1, so it's much safer to assume there that IO is non-blocking. This was part of the motivation for Node.js. There's still code predating async-await, but it's easy to wrap that.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450132"} {"by": "mousematrix", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:45:33Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450133", "item_id": 49450133, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450133"} {"by": "JKCalhoun", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:45:46Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450134", "item_id": 49450134, "kids": [49450337], "parent": 49449989, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Does that excuse Facebook?", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450134"} {"by": "lpsatwork", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:45:49Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450135", "item_id": 49450135, "kids": [], "parent": 49438401, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450135"} {"by": "montroser", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:45:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450136", "item_id": 49450136, "kids": [], "parent": 49449759, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Well, it will be interesting to see where Qwen3.8-Flash-Next ends up landing, also released today.

But, at the same time, they hosted so much valuable content that contextual advertising might well have made up much of the difference. But Twitter's support for that was apparently very basic, with only very simple keyword targetting available.

It might not have been enough once they were loaded up with debt by Elon, but before that they would only have needed a relatively small uptick in income to make them more consistently profitable. And that could have made the town square version of Twitter a sustainable business for the foreseeable future.

The point is that Windows keeps almost always the CPU above the minimum frequency, because it's full of useless background services, because programs are not well optimized for the hardware (to maximize backward compatibility they don't compile target x86_64 v3 for example and thus don't leverage on features and instructions available on new CPU or fall in the emulation case I've mentioned initially), and other reasons.

The transformation from your source code to what the compiler spits out is can be highly non-local and unpredictable, even before you start introducing things like custom rewrite rules.

To me, I think the smart way to work with Haskell is the exact opposite of iteration.

I had the ... I'm not going to say "pleasure" or "displeasure", because it wasn't a particularly voluntary experience but it was an enlightening one ... of talking with a couple of newly extremely wealthy people, on a pretty deep/vulnerable level, about their worldview. Anecdotal and not that many data points, so grain of salt. These were two pretty different people in different situations.

The impression I came away with is that their rationalizations for continuing to accumulate/keep wealth were created perfunctorily, downstream of being wealthy. Some of their rationalizations were defensible ("I'll start a charitable foundation" or "I'm economically transforming the communities where my businesses operate"), some not. But I got the strong feeling that the rationalizations (even the ones that these people used on themselves, not for others) were developed in response to the baseline prior that they needed to keep/increase their wealth. The rationalizations weren't reflective of values that were present before the wealth, they were just a necessary buffer against cognitive dissonance given that the real core value in play was that they needed to keep their wealth. If they hadn't rationalized it with "I'm a job creator", it would have been something else, and it wouldn't have mattered. The narrative wasn't the point, they just needed something serving that purpose.

I was also surprised at how little deservedness came up. Very few of their rationalizations had to do with pride/entitlement a la "I am smarter/better than others therefore this wealth should go to me". They were more ... utilitarian reasons that they shouldn't stop accumulating money.

Overall, I didn't find either of these people unusually good or bad--they were ordinary for white-collar educated knowledge workers, with ordinary amounts of grit, greed, values, hypocrisy, and adaptive/maladaptive behaviors, to my eyes. They rationalized their having wealth with the same combination of true/false/self-serving/values-based logic that other people use to rationalize ...

>I think either way both of us are in really good shape.

I'm lying in bed with non-specific upper abdominal discomfort that I'm hoping isn't related to digestive issues (pancreatic) that I've had for years, but which I can't get treated for because my insurance-related circumstances have made it very difficult to get consistent access to, and then to be taken seriously by, relevant specialists. These issues have combined with chronic injuries that were poorly managed in their acute phase and poor access to quality nutrition to make it difficult for me to exercise consistently. Contrarily and consequently, I'm quite out-of-shape.

The best and most consistent care I've ever gotten was while I was on Medicaid (which was still yet hampered by the professional stigma against accepting Medicaid and treating Medicid patients well).

>In my experience the quality of American care is better in nearly every regard (having experienced both pretty intimately

You experienced the quality of care available to rich people. That quality of care is not widely available, not for lack of institutional capacity, but primarily due to lack of profit.

The runtime ability to modify things sounds super neat but in my opinion it leads to disaster. It is not a weakness that we have a lot of tech built on a concrete specification of the initial state of the system and very careful control over where data and the modified versions of that data live. It is hard-won experience that it is a good way to build robust systems. "Reboot & pray" isn't just an accident, it's a legitimately good way to set up a system.

Some of you may object to the idea that we are super careful with data and modifications to it. I know where you are coming from... however, compared to an image-based system, the modern world is in fact super careful! To the extent that you think we are still not careful enough, that leads you even farther from wanting an image-based system.

If you conceive of a system as the full state space of everywhere it can go, the vast, vast, vast majority of systems have pathological places in it. It is very hard to get them all out. It is advantageous to have a button that says "restart this system from the initial state", and to push it often to make sure it continues to work, even if you're not thinking of it this way. By contrast, image-based systems have the tendency to either 1. get into a bad place in the state space and then the user has no way back out or 2. accidentally create a scenario in which there is no way to bring the system up from scratch anymore, which includes things like "giving the system to someone else to start their own work up".

Sure, it's a good idea to minimize the need to hit the reset button. But you don't really want to give it up entirely.

There are a variety of ways of improving the image-based system.

Exclusive francise agreements between municipalities and cable operators have been outlawed since 1992. But it's generally uneconomic to overbuild a new network with the potential to touch every home unless a large portion will subscribe.

Fiber internet is typically much better than cable internet, but cable internet is good enough for most people, so they're unlikely to switch unless it's significantly cheaper, which it often isn't -- especially since local incumbents tend to lower prices or rollout better service when a new entrant is entering the market (or announces they will ... Google Fiber city selection announcements drove lots of competing rollouts even though Google didn't install anything in those cities).

Regulation requiring wholesale access / line sharing / or strict separation of first mile and service infrastructure would allow for competition in service and routing, without having to build a 3rd last mile network. Congress did this in 1996, but the FCC walked it back for cable, the courts said if it doesn't apply to cable, it doesn't apply to telephone, and the FCC said internet over power lines exists and provides competition despite the lack of providers. Congress never came back to make clear that it wanted line sharing, so it disappeared from the mainstream.

I have municipal fiber where the municipality handles last mile only and I have a choice of IP service providers. But installation was very expensive and monthly service is also expensive relative to the ILEC and the cable company, although the cable company service on my street ends before it reaches me.

The cable and telephone companies have a major cost advantage that they can rebuild their networks with a good expectation of customer uptake; and they're allowed to manage the finances of build out however they see fit. The muni fiber (in my state anyway) has to bill customers for the costs of install and even if it could self-finance a build out to service all homes, wouldn't see a lot of uptake because most people find their current service to be good enough.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450257"} {"by": "bgro", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T14:54:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450258", "item_id": 49450258, "kids": [], "parent": 49436786, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Am I the only one who doesn’t like things popping up, sliding in, expanding and contracting and lazy loading trash website design?

But, in general, Stewart Brand’s sentiment — expressed during a panel discussion at the first Hackers’ Conference in 1984, when he said that “information wants to be free” — is broadly shared here.

His full quote was: “On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it’s so valuable… On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time.” Steve Wozniak famously responded: “Information should be free, but your time should not.”

Even among those on HN who believe that copyright serves a societal purpose, many still want copyright terms to be drastically shortened (back).

So I’m skeptical that the hostility toward AI companies is primarily based on their training on, and profiting from, the world’s knowledge without licensing it. I suspect it is rather based on their doing so without making that knowledge accessible in return. In the recent news of their destroying books, it even means reducing the chance that that knowledge will ever become open.

Yes, opening the world’s knowledge can lead to good and bad uses — just like free software can be used for great as well as for nefarious purposes. We’re generally too techno-optimistic to judge technology solely by its worst possible outcomes.

I tried a bidet previously because people rave about them. But when trying them, there seems to be two problems. The water that hits you sprays around on impact. So that immediately-sullied water now has a bit of blast radius to it. I also can't see down there, so having done what certainly felt like a pretty thorough job bidet-ing, I would wipe and discover the job was not so thorough. So although you could potentially use a bidet to reduce your toilet paper usage, toilet paper itself allows you to actually check whether or not you got everything, which just seems impossible with a bidet alone. And if I only used the bidet, then what am I supposed to do to dry myself? It feels like TP needs to be in the mix at least a little bit.

Programming is still in this goofy phase as a profession/industry where lots of practitioners interpret suffering and complexity and difficulty as signals of underlying quality.

There are still large numbers of programmers who see advances in human-computer interaction and tools as basically childish, because what matters to them is the feeling of machismo they get while programming, rather than whether their efforts make their users more successful.

See the pushback against IDEs (as you said), syntax highlighting (“syntax highlighting is for children”), Rust (“_I_ know how to manage memory, everyone else is an idiot who needs to git gud”), types generally (“_I_ don’t make type errors”). Even high level languages and garbage collection were met with similar derision when they were going mainstream. There are so many examples of this throughout the history of programming.

If something is hard to do, or resulted in something impressively complex rather than something underwhelmingly simple, it must be good.

Basically, we’re still a very immature profession and it’ll take time before we shed the “the most important thing about programming is that I get to be a wizard” stuff. The users care that the bridge doesn’t fall down when they drive over it.

Additionally, the region was a focus in the early 2000s during the War on Terror, when China asked to include the extremist groups in terror watch lists. The US agreed and they were included up until a couple years prior to the events in Xinjiang.

These were essentially re-education camps focused on radicalized groups. If anything, it's a more productive path than similar efforts, ie the ex-ISIS camps in Syria.

Those never seem to be mentioned in tandem. They're supported nominally by western countries, where ex-isis members and families are kept indefinitely. Thousands of stateless prisoners, including women with children are kept there. When the boys reach the age of 14(iirc), they're put in the actual prisons with the men.

That is not ideal and when I introduce these solutions to my friends, they say "Thanks for your efforts, really, but I think I will still use Proton".\nTo solve this, I built AurionMail Suite. It's an open-source orchestrator, the glue, that bridges CryptPad, Stalwart Mail Server (JMAP), Bulwark Webmail, and Ory Hydra into a single, unified Zero-Knowledge workflow. And It also makes the Cryptpad UI (and Notes app) more friendly, really. I feel you need a proof to convince you, so there is a gif demonstrating the single password login in which we access to webmail and CryptPad on repo.

Key Features:

- One Single Master Password: Enter it once to derive keys in-memory for both webmail and CryptPad.

- Open Standards: OpenPGP for email encryption and JMAP via Stalwart.

- Zero-Knowledge: Master keys reside strictly in client-side RAM during the session (no unencrypted key writes to disk/IndexedDB).

- Unified Session Management: Global single logout and password changes that sync safely across services.

- Easy Deployment: In addition to manual setups, I wrapped the suite (Hydra, SSO, Webmail, API, CryptPad) into a single Go binary called Orchestra, making deployment straightforward.

There is a table to compare with alternatives on repo !

To keep the Zero-Knowledge promise across isolated services without relying on URL hashes or storing cleartext keys in disk storage, AurionMail uses ephemeral WebCrypto AES-GCM keys. Decrypted session secrets pass between origins through short-lived, encrypted RAM buffers managed by a central API, keeping credentials safe even across iframes.\nCheck out our https://github.com/AurionMail/docs/blob/main/security_model.... for the exact cryptographic derivations and secret-sharing threat model.

Canada has the same issue in many industries, where the need/desire for Canadian firms to compete against US firms - even though Canada has a population roughly a tenth the size of the US - results in a handful of bloated monopolies/monopsonies that the Canadian population has to deal with.

For an alternative perspective you can look at the US healthcare system, where the US has a protectionist system that props up its healthcare industry (insurance, providers, pharma companies, etc) at the expense of its population, to the tune of about 2x what Canada spends per capita.

Canadians who live near the border will commonly hop over for some shopping and fill up their tank with cheap gas, while Americans try to fill their prescriptions from Canadian pharmacies and travel to Mexico for procedures they can't afford to get done in the US.

I get that and also find the style annoying. But, e.g. when I wear a garment that was clearly machine sewn, sit on furniture made with powertools, look at a photo (where a mechanical process determined what pigments appear where, with what intensity), if I eat a taco whose tortilla was industrially rolled ... none of those things seems like a reason to challenge someone taking credit and responsibility for creating a thing, even if 250 years ago they would have had to engage in a much more onerous manual process to create something similar.

So what is it about writing that feels so inauthentic when the human delegates the word choice and sentence structure to a machine? Is it just cultural expectations, and we'll get used to it as LLMs exist longer?

I wonder if partly there's a feeling of disrespect on the part of the reader -- if the author couldn't be bothered to write every word, it's presumptuous to think that other people's time is less valuable and they should read word by word.

- Concrete foundation is definitely overkill. Unless you're storing a tungsten collection in there, simple post blocks are more than adequate.

- Windows and doors! You can save a ton of money by finding secondhand fittings at Habitat for Humanity or Marketplace. You have the benefit of being able to design around what you have.

- Forgo drywall altogether on the interior. Wood paneled walls are easier and cheaper (it doesn't hurt that I designed mine around a "British pub" theme.

At a more sane expected return of 5% annually, you get $50k a year to live off of to just keep what you have (or rather, watch it slowly erode in value due to inflation).

That is basically a one person income, maybe two adults if you pinch pennies and live in a crappy apartment or a low-end house in a midwestern suburb.

I hate with passion GUI's that stop be copying text and other crack that modern IDE's often do.

I don't avoid modern features at all and actively use pretty much all of them. If something like and IDE works for you that's great. But their is not some deep psychological need I am fulfilling, other then using tools that have less friction for me.

Additionally the post is about haskell a very high level language with the type system being the main feature, this persons choice in emacs is clearly different to the type that shun type systems and GC. Additionally I do not actually think the types that shun GC and shun type systems intersect as much as you make out, the types that shun GC are performance obsessed kinds of people in which type systems can improve performance significantly and those that shun type systems are (a dying breed) tend to be those who like scripting languages and hacking something together quickly.

Likewise, a splash of colour may grab the reader's attention, but it will inevitably decrease the legibility of the text. The natural flow of the text is broken, and it takes more brain effort to piece together the individual letters into words and semantics. Cognitively, the reading process becomes slightly less automatic and slightly more conscious; leaving less room in the conscious part of the mind for actually understanding the text.

The point the OP was making is that a Sufficiently Smart Compiler should be able tell if a class is a reference class (and must be allocated on the heap and referenced by pointer) or a value class (that can be copied around and stored in-line in arrays or other classes).

Specifically, a class can only be a Value Class if two instances of this class are never compared using reference comparison, ==. If the program never uses this operation on two instances of this class, that means that the program would never be affected if copies are passed around instead of the original object being referenced around.

The GP was pointing out that this verification is not actually feasible, as it requires access to the entire source of the entire program, it can't be decided locally.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450635"} {"by": "andy99", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T15:15:40Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450636", "item_id": 49450636, "kids": [49452946], "parent": 49448495, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Maybe I’m interpreting this differently but to me modern LLM+full text search means “agentic” - LLM gets to pick the search terms and iterate on them.

Similar to SEO on marketing pages, we started rewriting product docs around the idea that it will be consumed by a RAG.

Everyone is going to have a different take on this, but for me the choice is immediately obvious. Kids should fit into your life (within reason), not have you change to revolve around theirs.

It's fun to read stories set in a universe where computers basically never came into existence.

Fortunately there's already more than you can read.

But it is also funny to read about "robots" in a world where computers are still blinking lights and punchcards, if they exist at all. Some of Asimov's work took it to the logical, yet still absurd, conclusion - computers are still blinking lights and punchcards but hyperadvanced and very massive robotic positronic brains are built to run the entire world at once... basically the robots become so advanced that their brains are repurposed as computers. Very amusing in its own way.

Fallout is probably the biggest example of this I can think of. Complete with the robots that are absurdly more capable than the computer hardware seems to be, and the Yes Man who at least aspires to run his part of the world.

Fact of the matter is that this isn't the case, not like what programmers have gotten in the last 20 years. It's absolutely not impossible for such a thing to exist, it just doesn't. Building things like high quality heuristics for the topological naming problem is quite hard.

It doesn't help that almost every IDE in existence these days is also not a real IDE. Visual Studio, Xcode, Jetbrains, etc. are just a more rigid programmable text editor, they lack the "I", and quite a bit of the "E". Compare them with things like LispWorks and Delphi, and the difference is stark.

1. You enter your SaaS website, Etsy shop, App Store /Google Play page, Fiverr profile, even a Skool community link

2.No settings, no keywords, no linking your social accounts, ReachFast reads your website, understands what you sell and builds a detailed profile of your target customer

3. Then it looks for Reddit, X, LinkedIn and Facebook public posts that could be a customer asking for your product or service

4. Finally an AI judging round keeps only the warm leads likely to convert. Out of 4,000+ posts read, that can mean 350+ for a consumer product, or just 15 for a niche SaaS, but each one is someone actually asking

5. Initial scan is on the past 15 days but it also runs daily scans (on the past 24 hours posts) to find new fresh leads

There is no automatic outreach, on purpose. The focus is to find quality leads, you decide how to reach them, usually by replying in the thread as yourself or DMs. From there you can also manage your pipeline by moving your posts into dead, reached or closed.

For v2 I'm planning to work on a learning loop, once there's enough pipeline data, so the algorithm could learn which kinds of posts actually convert for each product and adjust what it keeps. Also, currently, niche B2B services, like my own pentesting firm, produce few leads but that's the nature of the business I guess, fewer asks, worth more each. Coverage is also uneven based on the nature of the product/service but again it makes sense. Cost is also variable based on the website (currently up to 8$ per initial scan on some Etsy shops) but again, focus is quality of leads, I will try to optimise later!

One is that the rewrite has 'mechanical sympathy' with the machine e.g. arrays without pointer chasing can fit more data in CPU cache with fewer stalls while it reads over the main memory bus and waits after every item. That should not be a surprise, it's knowable in advance. Why deliberately ignore knowledge about the machine when designing the code, then come back and use that knowledge?

Another objection is to the idea of "measure then improve". Imagine a delivery truck which loads parcels without checking their weight first, then drives the truck onto a weigh machine (profiling), then if the truck is overweight they unload each parcel, weigh them individually, find the one heavy one filled with lead weights, then repack the truck without it. That would be silly and inefficient, right? Now imagine they unload the truck and there's no single parcel which is surprisingly heavy and instead the goods have been packed with 'lead foam'. Who could forsee that would cause problems with the weight on the delivery truck? (Anyone!). Now what's the fix? Unpack and repack every parcel, rewrite the whole code. There's no accidentally quadratic here to remove, instead every tiny piece takes a few more microseconds than it needs to and those add up.

Another objection is "YOU FOCUSED ON IT' - this implies that there is some way you can design and write code that doesn't need any focus. Part of the point of the video is that the faster code is not harder to write, there's no complex algorithms, no compiler intrinsics, no deep knowledge; it doesn't take a focused performance expert to write a switch(){} instead of a subclass.

Another objection is your implication that performance shouldn't be a consideration until you measure it and find a problem, and prove that it is. Which is like saying that aeroplane design weight doesn't matter until after you build it and measure it and prove that it matters. Computers are finite and limited, why have we got to the stage of assuming they are infinite and unlimited, and then demanding proof that they aren't, over and over on a case-by-case basis? A 3D game can render a virtual world at 100 frames per second. Does a program which takes 3 seconds to show a username/password login prompt need enough resources for 300 frames of game until proven otherwise?

Another objection is that you are defaulting to 'clean code is the default, performant code needs measuring and benchmarking to justify itself in every individual case. Why isn't that the other way around? Less resource-wasting code as the default, and 'clean code' only when maintainability has been measured and proved to be a problem, and only in the parts of the codebase which have the highest maintainability problems?

If all the clean code, encapsulation, isolation, abstraction layers, are providing the developer benefits that are claimed - why aren't programs better? If it's now so clean and easy to refactor, why doesn't that translate to software that gets better instead of software that gets worse? Casey's example is that Visual Studio debugger updated the watch window in realtime while stepping through code, on single core Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM, and now on a modern multicore machine with 64GB RAM and an M2 SSD it can't do that.

Some people have friends, and some people also have friends that are very distant (geographically, life style, stage of life, etc).

Social media can allow you to keep in touch with these people in a very convenient way. For me, being able to see life updates of friends with 8h+ timezone differences is very nice perk, because planning a call or having energy to chat with someone that far away is tricky and many people understandably then drop it if that's the only way. (same applies if I want to talk to my digital nomad friend or, new-dad-overwhelmed friend). It's much easier to facilitate meeting up when I'm traveling too.

But even for people that want to use it for that purpose only, FB/Instagram will shove down infinite scroll and stories/reels/updates of people/entities you can care less about.

And yes for some it is hard to have "the willpower" as you want to frame it. (although we know it's not so much willpower, from addiction studies around nicotine and how loss of socialization around smoking usually is a detriment to quitting smoking for example)

And yes just removing / blocking those features help. There are also unofficial side-loadable app out there. So for me it works.

And for your life maybe there's no loss in socializing by just walking away. Good for you. But maybe the examples can shed some light in how social NETWORK (social media before algorithm and attention economy) is useful for many in different predicament than you, while the social media aspects, many would rather opt out.

1. The resulting code was of pretty low quality. Others that bothered to put it through Miri and the like found many soundness issues, but my personal favorite example is this example which is trivially and locally (meaning that someone who has the most basic understanding of unsafe in rust can see it's obviously wrong just by looking at the specific function) incorrect example [0]. This particular example was removed in an apparently unrelated refactor after spending well over a month in the code base without any of the bun maintainers or their agents detecting it, and a quick grep found hundreds of potential similar issues (although many of those are false positives).

2. More generally, it's not clear to me that there was any technical benefit to the rewrite in the first place. The stated reason was for memory safety, but replacing Zig with unsafe rust doesn't actually get you memory safety, and removing the unsafe blocks often requires more extensive refactors to fit within rust's model.

> If you can reduce a problem to a clearly verifiable end state, provide the necessary context, and equip a model with the necessary tools it can usually get to a good solution.

As others have pointed out (and you acknowledge), "reducing a problem to a clearly verifiable end state" is just "programming". What you don't seem to understand is that actually doing that is made harder by using AI, not easier. A sufficiently detailed spec is called "code" [1], the question is what language/notation is best to write it in. The answer is almost never "whatever is closest to what the computer actually executes", as assemblers and later compilers and interpreters demonstrated. But it also isn't several of the things that AI proponents have suggested to replace the latter with.

Take natural language, for example. As Dijkstra pointed out, we've been through this already with math. It used to be that all math was expressed in a way closer to what we'd now call "word problems", but this turned out to be bad. The specialized language of e.g. algebra isn't something mathematicians use to gate-keep, it's way easier to reason in the domain that way than it is in English (or other natural languages). The same is true for programming, once you actually specify what you want to do with enough rigor. It's generally easier to read and reason about code than to do so with natural language specifications.

Another proposal is to use tests and similar automatic verification to specify the program. I suspect that anyone with much experience can already tell whether it's preferable to specify a program through code or through tests, but thankfully we have empirical evidence on this for anyone who has any doubts in the form of e.g. sqlite. Sqlite is probably one of if not the closest any piece of software comes to being fully specified by it's tests. To do that takes almost 600 times as much test code as there is "regular" code. Dr. Hipp even personally weighed in on the implications this has on AI recently [3] . The reason to do testing is that it provides a second independent check for correctness, if you're using it as the *only* check that advantage disappears.

The bottleneck was never writing code, and it still isn't. Writing code is like 15% of the job, but the labs can't tell investors "Yeah we make everyone only 15% more efficient" and still be able to raise trillions in capital. Whatever AI accelerates, the bottleneck is still code review, comprehension, and security debt.

Vibe coded slop gets abandoned because non-devs were never going to be able to use AI to make commercial software beyond an MVP.

This is what I've been trying to focus on with local AI for now. I've been trying to build all new documentation so it's more AI friendly. It's been pretty interesting. Qwen-35BA3B with a small prompt does a good job of surfacing what I'd consider institutional knowledge.

I've been trying to silo the docs I write from the model with a prompt that tells it not to use general knowledge unless asked to. From the anecdotal testing I did, Qwen-35BA3B is great for it. It does a really good job of following the prompt and calling tools, so I've been able to play around a lot to see what seems to work best.

Ultimately, I think one of the most effective uses of AI will be having a distinct knowledge store combined with an opinionated agent (and sub-agent) setup along with different models for each task.

Who owns the knowledge store is going to be the big caveat. Right now I think the big online models are trying for generic, persistent memory and I'd be very hesitant to let that happen. Think of having someone with a perfect memory following you around forever, but someone else has the ability to make them disappear.

The reason GHB has a narrow tolerance window (which, note, is not exactly the same thing as a therapeutic index, as the upper bound here isn't where the drug becomes toxic; it's just where the drug stops being recreationally "fun" and becomes a potent sleep drug instead) is because you actually require a decently high amount of the drug to get the recreational effect; and then only a little more of it will put you to sleep. But a "microdose" would imply that you're not going anywhere near the dose that gives you the recreational effect in the first place.

The term "microdose" is usually employed in conversations like this to specifically mean "a dose of a normally-conceptualized-as-recreational drug, too small to experience recreational effects" — although it can technically also mean "a dose of a prescription medicine too small to see the regular clinical effect."

People talk about microdoses of e.g. LSD, MDMA, or ketamine, as potential treatments for various mood disorders. In none of these cases is there an expectation that you'd "feel" the drug. It's a microdose, not a dose.

(And a fun tangent, back on the clinical end of things: sometimes microdoses of drugs can have paradoxical or unique effects, due to the particular ligand having higher binding affinity for a postsynaptic autoreceptor than for regular presynaptic receptors, such that microdoses of the ligand will only agonize the autoreceptors, with no accompanying agonism of the regular receptors. Activating the autoreceptor without activating the regular receptors can potentially do all sorts of wacky things — you're essentially giving the receptor's coupled ion channel a "negative stimulus", which for most gated ion channels isn't something they're they know what to do with; it's an "undefined behavior" kind of state. But some of these "undefined behavior" states are very useful! Low-dose naltrexone [LDN] therapy, for example: it has none of the subjective anti-euphoric effects of regular naltrexone therapy; but nor does it have pro-euphoric effects. Instead, it has anti-inflammatory effects, specifically on the tissues of the brain itself [astrocytes + microglia] that express opioid autoreceptors. LDN therapy is thus being investigated as a treatment for ME/CFS.)

† Presuming that what you have is actually pure GHB. Microdosing GHB's cousin GBL would be a different story, since it is extremely potent, with its active dose (and tolerance window) being measured in micrograms. Don't try to microdose GBL, kids.

Social media is one of the most insidious addictions, it doesn't cost money and your physical health is largely unimpacted. The real impact is on society and the family. My Facebook addict mother could be talking to friends, reading a book, or doing anything mentally/physically/socially productive other than scrolling for hours looking at junk content and AI slop.

A parent of young children could be interacting with their kids and building lasting connections instead of scrolling through tiktok to watch the mommy bloggers interacting with their kids. Or alternatively, setting unrealistic expectations of what a good parent does for their children and basically saying anyone not doing the same is a bad parent. My parents loved me and gave me a great childhood but my working mom wasn't up at 4am making trad wife breakfasts and lunches in the kitchen. My wife likes watching that stuff. I always point out how fancy of a kitchen the trad wife has and that she can afford to spend hours a day baking and cooking because she is wealthy, doesn't need to work a 9-5, and likely has a nanny to take care of the kids while she's filming and editing daily content. These aren't baking recipes being shared, this is content implying that to be a good mother you need to only shop at Whole Foods and bust your ass in the kitchen for hours on end.

A young adult is consuming vast amounts of unrealistic body imagery (whether it's "fitness" influencers or porn) and harming themselves to achieve the same. Sure, a fat and ugly person doesn't attract the same views as fit and pretty person but it turns a dark corner when the algorithm starts pushing ED content.

Grandpa is addicted to false or misleading political feeds to the point where he's near militant in his support for someone that's more interested in leveraging identity politics for power and money than actually helping improving the life of someone like grandpa. I'm still convinced that the vast amount of radical/alarmist traditional and social media my grandfather was fed manifested into depression and contributed to his suicide.

I don't think there needs to be strong limits on the content itself. Maybe some restriction on outright lies if it's not presented as entertainment or fiction.

On the one hand, I think destroying Meta and social media in its current form would be a net good; same with fossil fuel companies.

Though you raise an issue (“what about folks whose livelihoods depend on the harm perpetuated”) rather than reject the premise using such reasoning, which is the absolute right attitude to have. It’s easy to sit on my high horse and tut-tut folks reliant on Facebook Marketplace or Gas Station Convenience Store shifts for their livelihoods, but that’s not helping jack shit. Personally, I believe part of the punishment should be leveraging the fines or damages collected to build social support systems for genuine victims - which includes working class folks who had to choose between starving/homelessness or survival. I lack the policy expertise to make specific pitches, but we do need to keep those folks in mind as a means of learning from Arthur Andersen and Enron: punish those creating the harm, while helping those who were casualties of the collapse but not directly complicit themselves.

It’s hard. It’s complex. Some folks will fall through the gaps due to our abysmal social safety nets. That being said, those numbers are infinitely smaller than the folks harmed by social media in its current form, and thus the trade is a net good.

Over the last couple years I’ve had to learn sales and understand the thought process behind this better, and I think I’m beginning to understand it

The psychology is that most people aren’t really trying to optimize for productivity (even most people who think they are) on an ROI basis, because their compensation is too decoupled from their actual raw output, and more closely coupled to how differentiated their marginal contribution is to peers. They’re much more incentivized to spend their personal/work time optimizing for being more skilled or acquiring some kind of competitive advantage relative to baseline.

Most people don’t consciously run the numbers of “I get paid $X/hr to add $Y of value” or model pay at work as something with variable inputs (eg something that can be increased with high performance), so it makes sense to them to spend 20 hours of time to save $100 or to make themselves 5% less efficient to take home 0.5% more or avoid doing something they don’t want to start doing.

NOT saying this always happens or that they’re stupid for doing so. I didn’t even realize how much I had been doing it myself until I started recognizing it, and shifted to having my own comp/performance fully aligned with the company’s P/L.

It actually makes a lot of sense IF you can accurately estimate incremental upside (which is much harder and more diffuse than modeling downside if you’re salaried a employee) or if the upfront skill/knowledge investment that looks like bikeshedding pays off in the long run.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450957"} {"by": "metabagel", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T15:34:39Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49450958", "item_id": 49450958, "kids": [], "parent": 49439167, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "MacOS does some pretty annoying things.

I can't speak for others, but my preference for macOS basically boils down to "it's a *nix system that can run the commercial software I need, with a lot of nice little attention to detail features" I'm trading friction in some areas, for the removal of friction elsewhere.

Plus macOS has little niceties like readline key bindings in every text field OOTB, pleasant font rendering (on retina quality displays), and all the "ecosystem" features. I use universal control between my mac and iPad daily, AirDrop, universal clipboard, and airpods auto device switching, etc.

One way to think about WebMCP, as the article notes, is as web accessibility for agents. But since it functionally allows developers to expose any function on their website to an agent via RPC, the more interesting use cases are the ones that use the browser as a sandboxed execution environment.

https://duckboard-webmcp.alexmnahas.workers.dev/ is an example of this, and I would love to see more.

It would be interesting to extend Common Lisp to have types that operate similarly. For example, structures that are not compared by object identity but by EQL of their fields. I presume these are the value types being discussed here for Java.

Personally my pet theory (as mentioned in the article) is there's more of an immune system reaction then people think.

On the other hand, it doesn't work every time making me thing that some hangovers are immune-system based, some acetaldehyde based, some dehydration, etc. Plus there's the effects of the beverages drunk and low level gluten or hops intolerance.

The problem with this and DeepSWE is it goes for a very specific profile. I'm not convinced DeepSWE is any accurate in actual work. It's surely a different signal (compared to some that allow cheating) but it has its own issues, e.g. weak harness.

I was thinking that regular MCP + SSE/Websockets could cover almost all of the uses cases.

One interesting use case for WebMCP is cross-site activities that a browser agent might take. If the data-flow in question involves a heterogeneous set of websites.

This feels like a lifeline for incumbent web SaaS more than anything. Future apps can be architected in ways that do not require WebMCP but massive apps like Salesforce or Workday can't really abandon the decades of accidental business logic embedded in the Web UI flows that make up their project. While those same flows could be data-driven, slapping a WebMCP facade on top of them is just more practical. Instead of forcing incumbents to create an AI-native MCP where they are first class citizens, it is easier to let them sprinkle browser affordances throughout their human-centric front-end and offload the work to the agent.

But for my own part, since I am developing from scratch without that legacy need, I actually think relying on WebMCP might be an anti-pattern. It might be useful for the cross-site use case and it might be useful for reducing latency for purely UI activities (e.g. "filter this list" where all the data is already on the client), but in general my feeling is it is better to have a robust MCP interface for agents.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451124"} {"by": "ksec", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T15:44:08Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451125", "item_id": 49451125, "kids": [], "parent": 49450548, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I mean Open AI has the incentive and history of hyping it up.

Actually, we began developing this as an internal project because we required a component system for our internal products and discovered some friction while using existing projects such as shadcn/ui.

Instead of installing the package via npm, you simply copy components and use them directly in your codebase, you own the code and don’t need to struggle with updating it in the future. In addition to components, it contains pre-made UI blocks (sign in, onboarding, sidebars, etc.) and includes a design system in Figma that is consistent with the code.

The component library is already used in production in several real products.

You can add a stylesheet to an Atom feed by adding a <link> tag with an xmlns attribute, like this:

\nOr add styles directly with a <style> tag:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\n    <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">\n        <style xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><![CDATA[\n            * { color: red; }\n        ]]></style>\n        <!-- ... the rest of the feed goes here ... -->\n

What convinced us wasn’t a benchmark, we found that the retrieval path had been returning zero results for quite some time because of a technical bug, still nobody noticed, indeed it was working better than before.

After doing some rigorous A/B testing, we dropped indexing. For coding, I think the reason is that a repo is already searchable. Imports, call sites, file and test names, grep gives you cheap yet reliable version of what indexing would do, and the agent can read around a hit to verify it. Chunked retrieval hands the model something that looks right, and it tends to trust that instead of going to look for the actual source. Another thing that I noticed was the most intelligent models like Opus 5 and Fable ignored chunks anyway most of the time for some reason. Possibly perhaps they are trained around not trusting similarity checks for codebases.

Extremely large codebases with docs feel different. You can’t grep for a concept you can’t name. That’s the case where I’d still use retrieval.

That is not what he is doing and you know it. It's funny how people like to pretend that fake news somehow only originate from the right when in fact it's a method used by all the political sides.

He calls for the removal of people who are bothering the general population at large because they occupy illegally the public spaces, defecate in the parks, set up illegal camps in the parks when they actually have homeless shelters in the city which are usable and beg insistently.

If it was a group of Slovenians or Japanese doing the same thing, would we have the same conversation? I think not. I think we would say look how these people come to our towns and bother everyone else and in the end the cops would get involved.

But because these people are Roma who are not even from Denmark, then they should just get a pass and everyone should just have to go to another park if they want to take their kids to a playground because the one they have near their home has been turned in an open-air toilet.

Think of the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Bombardier. Canada wants to keep a domestic aircraft manufacturer around so they have a backup in case of US shenanigans (like what just happened with the F-35) so the government ensures there's ongoing contracts for those domestic aircraft as well as subsidies for things like manufacturing plant expansion or modernization. But Canada's population only needs so many aircraft, so why would they waste government resources on a new upstart rival aircraft manufacturer? Bombardier knows this too, so why would they spend their own resources on R&D or modernization when they know they can get the government to pay for it instead?

E2EE is a claim about who cannot read your mail, so the test is whether confidentiality survives a hostile operator. This model fails that test twice, and the choice of PGP decides how bad the second failure gets.

Take an operator that ships bad code first. The crypto runs in JavaScript that AurionMail serves on every page load, and nothing pins that bundle: no reproducible build, no signature the browser enforces, no way for a user to verify what ran. One build that posts the master passphrase to a host they control ends it. Password strength, the 5-minute TTL, and the non-extractable CryptoKey all stop mattering. Every guarantee in the document becomes a promise about operator behaviour, and E2EE exists to remove those promises. Signed reproducible clients fix this, or published bundle hashes in a transparency log. Their security model never mentions its own delivery channel.

Ignoring that/assuming an honest build pipeline--what does a breach, an insider, or a subpoena yields later. The server holds the wrapped OpenPGP private key, the 16-byte master salt (cross-device unlock needs it), and Argon2id(password, "auth_salt_${username}") from every login. That last value verifies the same password protecting the vault, so you can grind offline at Argon2id cost, derive the master key, unwrap the PGP key, and read the mail. auth_salt_${username} is public and known before any breach, so an attacker can precompute against a named target. A random per-user salt served at login removes that discount. Proton and Bitwarden share the general ceiling, so what follows is what makes this design worse.

In addition, PGP has no forward secrecy. Combine that with a server-side mail archive and a server-side copy of the long-term private key. One password recovery at any future point then decrypts the entire history in one pass. A long-term key is only as strong as the weakest security practice across its whole lifetime, and an attacker who eventually wins reads the full back catalogue. Remote backups of the long-term key are a pattern to avoid here, but AurionMail ships that backup as a sync feature. The document reasons carefully about a 5-minute TTL on a transport blob while the real exposure window is the account's entire lifetime, applied backwards.

Rotation makes it stickier. The same post argues that people keep keys they suspect are compromised because rotating costs too much. Here the master password derives both the PGP wrapping key and the CryptPad seed, so a password change orphans CryptPad documents, and replacing the PGP key means re-establishing it with every correspondent. Two coupled rotation costs, and the document specifies neither procedure.

Coverage is the other limit. PGP over SMTP leaves envelope recipients and timestamps in clear, and it only protects mail where the other party also runs PGP. Most folks see very few encrypted emails a year, and correspondents generally resend in plaintext given any excuse. The other end decides your coverage. The security model also never says how a user authenticates a correspondent's public key, and encrypting to an attacker's key defeats everything upstream of it. Web of trust does not close that gap in practice.

Two parts of the design are correct. The cross-origin handoff keeps the seed off the network, so the server holds ciphertext it cannot open, and burn-on-read with a short TTL layers sensibly on top. One Argon2id pass feeding domain-separated HKDF labels is standard, and separate salts for auth and for the master key keep the login hash from being the vault key.

From my POV, this is client-side encryption with a trusted operator, built on a key model that competent advocates were publicly abandoning ten years ago. That property is real and it beats server-side encryption, and it requires trusting their build pipeline, their hosting, and their users' passwords. "Zero-knowledge" claims none of that trust is needed, but their security model doesn't support this claim.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451259"} {"by": "gzxharrison001", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T15:52:12Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451260", "item_id": 49451260, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451260"} {"by": "jjice", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T15:52:18Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451261", "item_id": 49451261, "kids": [49451403], "parent": 49450839, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "> Unimportantly, it's named after Larry Page, not after the fact that it ranks pages.

If an individual farm has an outbreak they can (usually) source it, eliminate it from the supply chain, and switch to an alternative without any interruption to service. That also means you want as large of a geographic distribution of your farm network as possible. (I'm looking at you, Yuma Valley - a semi-regular source of e.coli outbreaks).

As a bonus, the supply chain is much more efficient at this scale. Small farms can have their salads packed in nitrogen filled bags for longer shelf life and less waste.

It's a manifold of human behaviors manifesting as something you're painting with a large brush. In the largest stroke, if you have any empathy and a competent theory of mind, you understand it's simple identity protectionism. People attach their identities to their methodologies and tools, and are generally close-minded. I like to think of it like an energy saving trait hardwired into the human mind, even if it's a little bit annoying.

The behavior also isn't unique to programming at all. You can observe it in the various engineering fields. As a single example, in civil engineering you have the conflict between allowable stress design or load and resistance factor design. You even see the behavior in fields like medicine. Different doctors have different views on different methodologies, treatments, etc.

Ascribing it to the "youth" of programming as a field is strange, not just because of its observability in older professions, but because the things you're complaining about are things that emerged as the field got more mature.

I think there's a serious self-flagellation problem some programmers have for themselves after being talked down to by other fields that you're exemplifying here.

If you pose an incoherent question, the answer is 'that's not a valid question', rather than 'oh wow, how baffling'. The baffling is coming from forming what seem to be valid questions that aren't.

Another example of it is that famous who cuts the barber's hair (Russell's paradox):

The barber is the "one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves". The question is, does the barber shave himself?

Here's an LLM explaining it:

the philosophical/logical lesson is: sometimes a description that sounds grammatically fine does not actually describe a possible thing. The contradiction is in the premise, not in our failure to find the right barber.

If you compare the broad characteristics of the new jobs created to the old jobs displaced by technology historically, they are the same every time: they required higher-level (a) cognitive (b) technical or (c) social skills.

That is it. There is no other dimension to upskill along.

And LLMs are good at all three, probably better than most people already by many metrics. (Yes even social; their infinite patience is the ultimate advantage, and while sycophancy is harmful fixing it is easy.)

Plus AI is improving extremely rapidly. Which means it is probably advancing faster than most people can upskill.

An increasingly accepted premise is that AI can displace junior employees but will need senior employees to steer it. Consider the ratio of junior to senior employees, and how long it takes for the former to grow into the latter. That is the volume of displacement and timeframe to upskill we're looking at, made worse by the fact that if juniors are not hired they likely won't get a chance to upskill at all.

Reposting here, because I don't like slightly-derivative typefaces that are just FontForge tweaks of a typeface that was designed from the ground up, even less if they have given it an entirely new name.

All glyphs are indistinguishable from Source Sans. The 'thin'/'light' weights are kerned further apart (and in my opinion, worse) than in Source Sans.\nGiven these, why does this typeface deserve a new name? It is Source Sans, full stop.

At least Arial (Helvetica copy) and Segoe UI and Myriad (Frutiger copies) have a handful of distinguishing glyphs.

I have a very hot take—with typefaces, you absolutely get what you pay for. I don't like the vast majority of SIL Open Font Licence type faces, with a handful of exceptions. Most of them have glyphs that are an absolute eyesore, are weighted, sized, hinted, and kerned terribly, don't have any character whatsoever (they're all copies of copies of copies of Helvetica) and don't encode nearly enough glyphs/combining marks in Unicode.

Hint: if I can't type IAST/ISO 15919 without tofu showing up, then the font doesn't have enough Latin glyphs.

The majority of digital fonts are either not hinted at all (which makes them look like crap on low – medium resolution monitors), or appear to be hinted on and for macOS, which doesn't have sub-pixel anti-aliasing, but rather greyscale (i.e. full-pixel) AA. The result looks quite bad on Windows and Linux. It looks bad on macOS in monitors with lower pixel density, too.

I will gladly pay for a well-designed typeface (or by proxy, pay a font database subscription). The effort that designers have to put in to design something new from complete scratch is immense. Designers have to come up with unique glyphs, and then when actually setting up the curves, then have to think about how the typeface will vary along several dimensions: weight, size, display pixel density, print versus display, and so on. It's no wonder that the best fonts cost thousands.

Good fonts that have both character and are immediately legible without being unnecessarily fancy is an extremely fine line to tread and in my opinion only a handful of typefaces have managed to balance all of these through the centuries. Some of my favourites follow.

Sans-serifs include Helvetica, Frutiger, Futura, Myriad, Johnston, Optima, Transport, DIN (and its many variants; my favourite is FF DIN), Ocean Sans, and Segoe UI.

Serifs include Roman-cut (including Trajan), Garamond, Minion, a handful of Didone types, Berkeley Old Style, and Palatino.

Hardware performance is not be-all end-all (an argument can be made on environmental reasons that it should be - but bear with me in the first instance).

Software is a tool working within a socio-technical system. Some systems have low user workflow diversity and a low rate of change - a game being a perfect example. Games get patched, but the diversity is purely in user data, not in feature use - everyone uses the same engine, the same textures, the same game logic. Some systems have high user workflow diversity - such as business software.

Pair that with the fact that games, due to the nature of the system, have to optimise for low latency AND they run on the edge - and it's natural that the primary optimisation will be for CPU cycles. For business software, for which distributional advantage of running it through web + the high rate of feature change that is a result of the specification being opaque and a moving target - means you have plenty networking latency that can hide your CPU latency for long after it becomes a true problem for you.

Not to mention that "clean code" optimises for developer churn and business priority shift (which is a luxury games which are an upfront investement don't have) as a result of accelerating industry of software technology and greater saturation of developers.

Had software remained the domain of the same number of practitioners such as <1995, even given everything else, the organisational systems would have evolved to protect them at all cost because churn would be catastrophic, and then they would enjoy more power and would be able to structure code not optimising for brain shift, because they'd hold the context in their heads.

I think France and Spain are the best of the big European countries regarding coverage, but also adoption: If we look at the adoption ranking globally, Spain sits fourth at 90%, behind the UAE, China and South Korea and ahead of France at 83.6%.

Very few European countries convert coverage into subscriptions that efficiently, and I think it's driven by competition. You can get 500Mb symmetric connection for as little 10 euro [1], 20 for 2Gbps. DIGI has just gone crazy and in their own network they are offering symmetric 10Gbps for 25. Most people I know have 1Gbps because when is that not enough?

this is false.. Gander's own privacy policy says it collects account info including name/email/DOB IP, device ID and physical location. While Canada post may seemingly offer isolation, Bill c-22 famously makes such segregation moot, as there is no formal legal process to obtaining your posts and content viewed. Just having an IP address from your Canadian ISP would be enough and total.

> you can't post hate speech or threats of violence

is a pretty misleading summary of Canadian speech law, it prohibits public statements likely to expose protected groups to hatred or contempt, and covers public incitement and wilful promotion of hatred.

but critically the speakers intent is actually irrelevant under this law. it could be someone trolling or just saying something casual without much harm intended. no clear border Canadians can know in advance, something you thought was harmless can be complained (recently they were encouraging reporting "harmful content" on X) and judged later based on its supposed effect. thats exactly where the chilling effect comes from.

Even more disturbing is that Gander itself has literally published an article pushing Canadian hate speech laws should be expanded and enforced on social platforms.

> Also not a thing. American platforms practice widespread self-censorship and have no protection under the law except from the state.

1st aendment generally protects a user from government censorship, not from a private website deciding what it wants to host thats very different from American platforms having no protection.

I understand that you might view these laws and moderation policies are good but dismissing the concerns while mispresenting basic facts about the service and while promoting a social network seemingly started by a CTO from pornhub pushing for more censorship and broad application of Canadian hate speech, to say the least very disturbing and not a wise PR move.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451416"} {"by": "kelvinjps10", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:01:35Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451417", "item_id": 49451417, "kids": [], "parent": 49450722, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I have switched off from github to my own server besides two websites that depend on gitbub integration to deploy to clpudfare pages", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451417"} {"by": "fleahunter", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:01:37Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451418", "item_id": 49451418, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451418"} {"by": "tencentshill", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:01:46Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451419", "item_id": 49451419, "kids": [], "parent": 49443236, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "For now.

The blog post doesn’t have much further material or at least not before the paid envelope.

Some thoughts I have -

> 1. Local machines are limited in how many agents they can run. Ramp found third-party products below expectations; they liked Claude Code on day 1, but were constrained by only being able to run one or two sessions on local machines.

I haven’t seen this constraint? I only started using Claude Code ~4 months ago so maybe it was different before.

> 3. Need for remote dev environments. As Ramp scaled, so did the complexity, and with it there was more work at the intersection of systems, like debugging backward compatibility, and broken API contracts. The solution was to create remote dev environments.

We're both on leave from Harvard, and we run an insurance brokerage for companies building robots, drones, autonomous systems and satellites. You describe your machine, we find the insurance companies willing to cover it, and we read everything before you sign.

Buying insurance for any frontier tech goes like this:

- your first customer or pilot requires coverage before your machine can work on their site

- a broker hands you an application written for ordinary businesses, and often will deny you on baseless "risks" (one of our clients got denied for using CAD software in their workflow)

- you get filed under something close or outright denied, the person at the insurance company often can't tell what they're looking at, and the safe answer is no

- if a quote does come back, the AI risk is often quietly removed by an add-on clause that prevents you from truly being covered

Those clauses surprised us. Insurance companies mostly don't write their own policies from scratch. They license standard forms from an industry body called ISO and attach add-on clauses to adjust them, and in January ISO published clauses that void coverage for losses arising out of AI in any part of a process. Each insurer decides whether to adopt them, account by account, and there's no public record of who has and to what capacity.

There's an open question in the wording too. It defines generative AI as systems trained on data that produce text, images, audio, video or code. Whether a robot's control model, which produces motor commands, falls under that is unsettled. We've asked underwriters, the people at insurance companies who make these calls, and gotten different answers across the board.

We didn't initially plan to be brokers. We came into YC to work in insurance and spent the first half of the batch on a wildfire risk model we wanted to sell to insurance companies. They liked it and wanted to build their own, which is the polite way to say no. While that was dying, a batchmate who launches satellites mentioned he couldn't get insured, and once we started asking around we kept hearing the same story from hardware companies. So we got licensed in a week and now can place coverage.

What we've built so far:

- a six-step application that asks about what you're building and drafts the structured version insurance companies like, omitting anything you didn't say

- a map of which insurers add the AI clauses, which will remove them, and which cover frontier companies on purpose

- when an insurer says no, you see their reason and what would change it, full transparency all the time

- a hands off process for companies trying to get fully covered

Here's a demo of the whole process: https://youtu.be/gVqCamTNH5E

On money: the insurance company pays us a commission when you get covered, usually 10-20% of what you are charged, and we charge you nothing on top (that's right, no brokerage fees).

Also, if you're a software company with ordinary needs, we'll still handle the whole process for you and get you the best policy we can find.

In the past week alone we have helped three companies get covered that were denied elsewhere. The companies include a robotics wholesaler and rental store, who had trouble getting covered earlier because some of their property uses AI (even though they never use it themselves), a bridge collision system that was getting denied because they use CAD software, and a tele-operating robotics service that needed coverage within a week for their first pilot.

also I see that people install these limiter apps on their phones, and then just override them many times a day.

and of course if every few days you spend 30 minutes giggling while looking at funny cats/dogs, sure, great. but on bad days you end up doing it for hours and escaping into it, ignoring something else, or using it after stressful meetings to "clear my head" (which becomes a coping mechanism for anxiety)

I have a very straight forward setup that is highly modular.

RAG is routing and decision making.

I found so much joy in achieving the best results given the requirements than simply hoping for the best with the cool kid called vector db and embeddings.

I agree with you.

Depending on the context and required output I decide how to orchestrate a multitude of specialized modules that produce the best specific result to gain a universally usable system.

It maintains itself.

Also live updates need reruns and rebuilding certain indexes. Everything is highly dynamic but in a deterministic way.

I found my niche with RAG selling and I build them myself.

I take pride in them.

So many look at the technology but not on the required output. It takes hours of talking to people to get an idea of what they need.

And there are regulated businesses where certain information is required to be always factual correct - pricing for example.

Vector search becomes a liability for this use case.

So naturally you have to reconsider your system: mixing factual with probabilistic content and how to make sure, it hits always certain quality benchmarks and on the other hand doesn’t fail others.

I love this kind of stuff.

And there is personal information etc.

Using modules is the key. Orchestration is really fun but I have to admit, not for the faint of heart.

And ever changing parts: LLMs, or restrictions to be matched liked autonomously working - I love RAG.

It gave me back the joy of developing. In fact I never had so much phun before, because it is also “team work”: I am not programming, I am managing a product.

I was in Senior Management of a top tier international bank and besides that build the only ever working platform or IT transformation called dbCORE and overlooked 13 teams with 120 developers.

RAG gives me dbCORE vibes so to say.

Insofar as his actions raise the price to customers, he is spending customers' money. Insofar as his actions lower the wages of some employees, he is spending their money.

> The stockholders or the customers or the employees could separately spend their own money on the particular action if they wished to do so. The executive is exercising a distinct 'social responsibility,' rather than serving as an agent of the stockholders or the customers or the employees, only if he spends the money in a different way than they would have spent it.

> But if he does this, he is in effect imposing taxes, on the one hand, and deciding how the tax proceeds shall be spent, on the other."

His point wasn't that businesses can't act ethically or with responsibility, it's that they shouldn't act to become welfare centers and corporate philanthropies (which was a trend at the time).

This would be a stupidly bad failure rate, basically the worst business decision you could make, especially if you're somehow on the hook for eating those losses (which seems to be the implication?). Is there a linkable source on this?

The only thing I could find is SemiAnalysis claims that 15% of Blackwells end up RMAed[1]. That appears to be a total failure rate, though, and if you're RMAing them, you're getting replacements. So that appears to be a pretty different state of things.

It really seems like Canada is in a tough spot economically. They don't have the scale to compete against, say, China or the United States but they want to protect domestic industries against foreign competition and so have enacted trade barriers and other protectionist policies like supporting Bombardier (or the dairy industry or whatever) even if it means higher prices for Canadiens and goes against free trade practices.

In my mind that makes a lot more sense as to why, at least in part, there is the ongoing trade dispute between the US and Canada (whether I agree or disagree with it and how it is handled would be a different matter). The US also seeks to in part protect domestic industries that are being outcompeted by China or face significant regulatory barriers (diary industry in Canada for example, other various exports to the EU, Chinese ban on American technology companies) and so we're winding up in a world where the US is now also putting the hammer down on protecting industries like the EU, China, and seemingly Canada does which is causing a lot of political conflict over trade and jobs.

It seems inevitable that as one or more countries put up trade barriers (EU, Canada, China being some large ones here) the US and others would eventually respond if they found that they were unable to compete on price due to government intervention.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451634"} {"by": "deater", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:15:54Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49451635", "item_id": 49451635, "kids": [49453951], "parent": 49450875, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "even some of Banks' stuff starts to get a bit dated.

This type of verbal report works for people because it is anchored in shared biology and behavior, however, for machines, it is an echo of training data.

I don't want to argue here that LLMs have consciousness, but this kind of argument annoys me because it feels like an intellectual slight of hand on its own.

There is no definite way (so far) to prove that anything besides oneself has qualia or a subjective experience.

So arguing that we cannot observe LLMs having subjective experience, therefore they cannot have any is cheap - you cannot observe that for animals or for the person sitting next to you either.

The part that self-reports are useless and LLMs sound human because they emit sequences from human training data is correct.

2. You can't really depend on this subsidization lasting forever IMO. I know the financials thing has been beaten to death but I guess I'm in the camp that it's good to be in control of your tools so that you can go elsewhere if the economics change.

To your point - Even as domestic "competition", the market is still separated by aircraft type.

When stopped at a breakpoint, you can evaluate C/C++ expressions, modify state, call functions, and, with compile code, have GDB compile and execute new C/C++ code in the context of the running process:

   (gdb) set variable state->counter = 42\n   (gdb) call recompute_state(state)\n\n   (gdb) compile code\n   > printf("counter = %d\\n", state->counter);\n   > do_something(state);\n   > end\n
\nThat makes for a surprisingly nice "REPL attached to a running C program" experience. You can poke at the heap, change variables, call into the existing code, and inject little bits of new code without restarting the process.

One use case I have fond memories of was implementing different trees structure and adding a print_dot function that printed the tree in .dot format and whenever I call the function from inside gdb, the xdot window would redraw with an updated tree graph.

I know it isn't really the same thing as a Lisp image where the injected code is become persistent but still nice to have

Most historical trade agreements between the US and friendly nations tolerated minor interventions and subsidies on both sides.

In a discussion on economic history, say, someone will opine that Alexander Hamilton had some particular opinion about tariff policy… based on their having a vague memory of a blog post where someone quoted a passage in support of some point. But wait - you can search the federalist papers, the text’s right there to be read, before you commit to saying online ‘Hamilton thought tariffs were a great idea’ you could take your internal ‘I seem to recall reading something about hamilton’s opinion on tariffs’ thought and turn it into a little RAG query where you pull up a source and check before you put another factoid out onto the internet.

And so I feel absolutely the same way about LLMs. I don’t care how much factual information was in the training data, when the LLM wants to rely on something it vaguely recalls having been trained on, it owes it to me to dig up a source and vet it.

There are limits to this, of course. I don’t want it to be thinking ‘but wait, maybe my memory of Python syntax is faulty. Is = used for assignment? <web search>…’.

1) can compress a 600 MB manga volume from Humble Bundle to 100 MB. This is mostly accomplished by downscaling to the native resolution of your specific device. This can also improve battery life, page turn speed, and general performance on underpowered ereaders with small memory and storage capacities.

2) fixes black levels to avoid gray/faded blacks found in many Kindle Store manga

Small guys have a hard time standing up to big guys.

On the other hand, in a regime where no one becomes that huge, like the latter example, there's still pressure, but the competition is fair, just like if all the companies were similarly big (except that you can't have that many big companies in a single industry, by proportion definitions).

I'm "only" using Clojure (which some shall say is not a proper Lisp) and elisp (which is, well, elisp) but I catch every exceptions (including any yet uncaught ones) and I rarely need to restart the app. I've got an helper function to "restart" the app and I can pass a parameter: reset the state of the app or not (usually I don't and keep working with my current app state). As to the main process: I very rarely need to restart the JVM / get a new REPL.

The whole thing is basically a very, very, very long REPL session.

> A consequence of this way of working is that early in a Lisp project, there may not even be any source code to speak of. Instead, the evolving definition of the system exists only in the memory image of the running process and nowhere else.

Yes but be careful... At times this shall bite you: you've got this function or this new definition of that function that you only had working in the REPL and which is not in source code yet. I typically have tests and I run them, from another process, totally unrelated to the one I'm developing in, that I regularly run (not just when I commit): this helps catch at least the most serious "desynch" issues (where the Lisp source code doesn't correspond anymore to what's in the REPL).

> A Lisp programmer does not need to “switch over” to something else because they are already inside their program process. They never “compile and execute” the code because the code is already running and they edit it by hot-swapping code. They never restart in a debugger because they are already inside their program process and can inspect anything they want.

Yup it's all really very sweet. But really: those are all part of that family of languages and not a kludge added later on to the language.

Some people believe that because they have a console in the web dev tools in their browsers that can execute JavaScript code they've got the same thing as a Lisp.

You can prompt something like “Build me a cool theme park” and it’ll build a cohesive theme park with multiple worlds and connected with paths and rides.

The weird part is that I built it using the same ideas we use to make AI-generated websites follow a company’s design system.

I work as an engineer at Magic Patterns, focused on building our Design System Agent, aimed to use your existing brand, components, and conventions instead of producing something that looks like generic AI-generated UI.

By default, models tend to converge on similar-looking designs. This is part of that “vibe coded slop” feeling: the same typography treatments, shadows, cards, icons, animations, etc… My job is to figure out the right context and guardrails so that when you prompt “Build me a dashboard,” the result actually looks like your existing product.

At some point I realized those same ideas could be applied to RCT.

While in web, you might have rules about which typography, colors, spacing, and components should be used together.

In a theme park, you need rules like: rollercoasters need complete tracks, rides need entrances connected to paths, paths need to connect different areas of the park, and a pirate-themed world should actually use pirate-themed scenery.

It was interesting seeing how closely the problem of building a coherent theme park resembled the problem of building a coherent product UI. Similarly with web design, simply giving the model the right components wasn't enough.

I ended up building an eval loop where Magic Patterns would generate a park, another agent would grade it against a rubric, and then the agent would update its rules and skill files before trying again.

The rubric checked things like whether rollercoasters formed valid tracks with at least one drop, whether rides were accessible by paths, whether each world used the appropriate themed scenery, and whether the park worked as a whole.

After a lot of iterations, you can now prompt something as simple as “Build me a cool theme park.” and you should get back a fully functioning park with guests, rides, paths, rollercoasters, and themed worlds.

Best yet, you can also follow the guests, listen to their thoughts, and watch them ride the rides in RCT fashion.

I believe in sovereign states well enough to have 100% respect for Canada-first policies as well as America-first in the US.

Things worked so well for so many decades with much lesser rebalancing, that the only explanation would be some serious defect arising that was not there until recent years or days.

This is just Trump's way of telling Americans, if they can't afford to pay way more going forward for everything into the foreseeable future, toilet paper is the least of their worries.

He doesn't have to detail it out loud, but there are plenty of good old American corncobs which have fallen into disuse for this purpose, and it wouldn't be nearly as unpleasant as it was in the outhouse days.

* The form factor is a square, that is very strange. I expect something like a book like A5. It also may help to read it in the phone.

* I imagine this is for 4-8 year old kids. I think 49 pages is too long. Probably 10 or 15 is better, but I'm not sure what is the opinions of the parents that are the ones that have the credit card.

* Here in Argentina it's getting popular to teach only capital print letters, so you may offer an option for the allcaps version (aimed to 6-7 year old kids).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452121"} {"by": "leirtjalwirj", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:45:27Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452122", "item_id": 49452122, "kids": [], "parent": 49450195, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Tobacco existed for eons, and then American tobacco companies engineered it to make it a hundred times as addictive with full knowledge of what they were doing.

I think that violates the golden rule of tolerance (described in the prior post). If Banks won't tolerate the officer's freedom (in this case, about their own gender) then Banks shouldn't be tolerated.

'Lots of people' isn't a standard. The point of human rights is to protect the minority; the majority is almost always free to do as they want. Conservatives say they are a minority on campus but should be tolerated and made safe, for example, and I agree as long as they follow the golden rule.

Makes sense, in a way, as you need to keep your agricultural base if you have one. It seems logical that this could extend to other industries, car manufacturing, weapons/missiles, semiconductors, other various technologies. Healthcare. You get the picture.

But I think your comment about Trump is not quite nuanced enough and of course you have to include that the US is negotiating with other powerful parties like the EU and China so it's not really always the US negotiating with weaker parties. At the negotiating table I view each of those big 3 has having many cards to play, and both weaknesses and strengths that can be exploited.

When I say it's not nuanced enough what I mean is that, for example, American technology companies are simply banned from operating in China. In Europe, until I believe July or something American car exports were tariffed at a 10% rate, and then you have policies like the Online Streaming Act in Canada (I'm not exactly up to date on the current status but just recall it existing).

So while Trump's negotiating style is, arguably something to abhor, I think painting these engagements as simply a matter of Donald Trump isn't interested in free trade or sustainable relationships to be a bit off the mark. For example, you can't simultaneously claim that Donald Trump isn't interested in free trade while ignoring trade barriers put in place before he was even elected president. I'd also argue that in general most countries and people aren't actually interested in free trade and that it's more of a political tool, because that would require abandoning subsidies and protections and there are obviously very bad potential repercussions of doing so.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452146"} {"by": "adriancosma", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:47:05Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452147", "item_id": 49452147, "kids": [49452148], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 2, "text": null, "title": "Multi-currency business account for global companies", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.payset.io/multi-currency-account/"} {"by": "adriancosma", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:47:05Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452148", "item_id": 49452148, "kids": [], "parent": 49452147, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452148"} {"by": "Mistletoe", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:47:05Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452149", "item_id": 49452149, "kids": [], "parent": 49451448, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Who is the third since they come in 3s?

3. Automation works around it by pretending to be a human driving a mainstream browser.

4. Other cases should be handled better, so let’s add a nifty new feature that’s suitable for a wide range of things. Goto 1.

Another anecdote: a few years ago I was offered a shiny new never-before-used iPad for free by a client (a telco). There was only one catch, I was told: it was a few generations old. It had sat in its box on a shelf unopened for several years. I thought it might be useful at least as an e-reader, but I soon realized why it was now useless: I could not find a single app in the App Store that would install on it because every app required a “newer OS” (which wasn’t available).

My attempt at an answer: no, databases are not solved.

Specifically, different databases are better or worse for different use-cases.

For example, Postgres is a great "all around database" - you can use it for a lot of different things. As a "relational" database, it's really good if you have a table full of users, a table full of order, and you want to see all orders made by a user with ID=123. You need to answer questions like that a lot (eg every time someone on a website loads a page) and you need the answer fast (hundreds of miliseconds at most)

However, say your use-case is more like... you've got 100 billion rows of billing data ("joe was charged $123.45 on 2026-03-07 for a shirt, blue, size 11, brand foobar") in one table. You don't care much about joe, but you want to be able to find out how much was billed, total, in 2026-03 for blue shirts (or all year for brand foobar, or all time, for size 11). Postgres would struggle with data of that volume - you'd need a really big expensive database. A "columnar" database like duckdb (or clickhouse) might be able to answer those questions better.

Anyway, different databases are better/worse for:

- Large piles of data that you need to query in seconds

- Huge (petabytes) of data that you need to query in minutes, but can query in parallel

- Many related piles (like a standard relational database)

- Cases where you're mostly getting or retrieving single items (key-value stores)

- Huge piles of data that represent a long stream of events in time (time-series datbases)

- Piles of data that look and act more like files (object stores)

- When you need strict transactions

- When your need is very write-heavy

- When your need is very read-heavy

- and probably many others - I'm not even a huge data guy :)

So it all depends on your use-case. There are still cases that are not served well by any existing database - eg "filtering billions of rows, in milliseconds, by an arbitrary portion of several dozen very-high-cardinality columns" (to use an example that came up recently for me IRL) :)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452284"} {"by": "ihsw", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:55:22Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452285", "item_id": 49452285, "kids": [], "parent": 49450188, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452285"} {"by": "leros", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T16:55:25Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452286", "item_id": 49452286, "kids": [], "parent": 49438590, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Not usually.

I didn't think someone would do it ! This is extremely valuable feedback.

A few thoughts on your specific points:

- You are right about the web threat model. Serving the crypto bundle over the web means trusting the server not to serve malicious JS at load time. Moving towards reproducible builds, bundle hashing, or a dedicated browser extension is definitely the long-term path to remove operator trust on code delivery.

- For the `auth_salt_${username}` salt, this is a choice I made at the beginning of the project, an error, and it should be replaced soon. However, this is only used for authentication and not encryption.

- Changing the master password does not orphan CryptPad documents. The master password is solely used client-side to derive the wrapping key that encrypts the underlying persistent secrets (the PGP private key and the CryptPad account pass).

When changing the password:\n1. The persistent secrets are unwrapped in RAM using the old derived key.\n2. They are re-wrapped using the new key derived from the new master password.\n3. CryptPad's native account key update process is triggered with old and new secret.

Framing AurionMail as "client-side encryption with a trusted operator" rather than absolute ZK is a fair and accurate classification of the current web-based threat model. I'll update the documentation and security spec to clarify these trust assumptions explicitly.

It depends.

My bicycle was in the 5-digits brand new (now I paid it 1/5th of that and I do thank the first owner for that: the 8 000 out of 10 K I saved were put into stocks, that's his opportunity cost, not mine).

Or I know a great many a going to cry "audiofool", but I can say with certainty the following does sound better than the stereo setup of those crying audiofool:

https://youtu.be/TQg9FTBMcTQ

(not my setup but I've got those speakers: same thing, 15 K EUR brand new for the pair... Previous owner forked the money to buy these brand new and, well, I didn't... And I just hooked them to a wonderful, cheap, fully-integrated Yamaha amp: amazing sound).

If your hobby is DIY job around the house, the cost of tools can very quickly add up too: having 20 K worth of tools is definitely not unthinkable.

You like old cars? Pricey hobby.

Some here even track their cars: tires and brake pads budget (and overall car budget and depreciation)... Through the roof.

There's a saying that you're not really into computers if your setup doesn't cost more than your car.

Is $16 K ($4 K x 4) a lot? It's six months of rent for me and for many here I'm sure. It's not "crazy crazy".

Can anyone afford that? Definitely not. But there are way more insane things out there.

And thanks to the individuals that go through to all the pain of setting those up, we've got feedback, tutorials, explanation, numbers, etc. as to how to run those at home.

For example I helped my brother set up VMs and GPU passthrough and he's now running uncensored models locally and showing me the different answers between the uncensored models and the commercial, censored, ones.

All joking aside, having interacted with Claude intensely for the last 8 months and about 30 hours/week in the last 3, I’ve started to notice how (for want of a better word) “readable” (“digestible” ? “comprehensible” ? “Predictable” is the wrong direction.) information chunked into LLM-shaped pieces are for me.

I can digest LLM-shaped pieces of data very easily probably because I’ve been spending too much time with Claude, sure.

But the other side of this is that the entire human species (using LLMs) is similarly being trained to digest interrelated pieces of information/data in these specific shapes, akin to how philosophical assertions can be formulated as a syllogism and, thus, become more readily understood because of familiar epistemological cadence and shape.

Many people reject such copy/prose/data because they detect AI-generated-so-not-worth-human-attention, but I do wonder if this is preparing many millions of loosely (and tightly) associated humans and their organizations to quickly exchange and digest information.

This is not to say current LLMisms are the end, only that such detectable patterns in information delivery will make comprehension and communication more efficient (as well as more limited precisely because of such structure).

Weird take. If you read any of the biographies or books about SpaceX, you would know that many key personnel at SpaceX (e.g. Tom Mueller [1], Hans Koeniggsman[2], Tim Buzza [3], Jim Cantrell[4], Garrett Reisman [5]) have all mentioned his major role in the engineering decisions there.

Gwynne has done an amazing job at running the company - but she doesn't make the engineering decisions. You cannot deny the achievements of the company - so you just say that he had no role in it. This sort of retconning of history just because people don't like him, is super weird.

> When we first started he didn't know a lot about propulsion. He knew quite a bit about structures and helped the structures guys a lot. Over the twenty years that we worked together, now he's practically running propulsion there because he's come up to speed and he understands how to do rocket engines, which are really one of the most complex parts of the vehicle. He's always been excellent at architecting the whole mission, but now he's a lot better at the very small details of the combustion process. Stuff I learned over a decade-and-a-half at TRW he's picked up too."

> Musk "didn't know a lot about rockets initially, but he learned a lot over time," Koenigsmann said. Musk picked knowledge up quickly, which was "amazing to watch," he added.\n"I really enjoyed working with him and learning how he sees things," Koenigsmann said. "He sees things from a different perspective."\nMusk provided a "unique perspective" on scenarios involving basic physics by asking what the limiting factor was, according to Koenigsmann.\nAn example of this was when Musk pushed his engineers to shorten the time it took to fuel SpaceX's rockets. Musk said SpaceX should aim to reduce the time from 30 minutes to eight minutes — the same time it takes to empty a rocket tank, according to Koenigsmann.\nSpaceX uses propellant at very low temperatures to increase its density, allowing engineers to cram more into each rocket, Insider previously reported. Rockets need to be fueled quickly before launch so the propellant doesn't warm up.\nAs a result of Musk's direction, SpaceX's rockets are fueled "in a remarkably short time," Koenigsmann said."

Doesn't that prove too much?

Suppose I claim that there is no objective world - i.e. standard solipsism. You may make various claims about the world being coherent to you and existing even in my absence, but these are first-person accounts, just like accounts of qualia and the existence of first-person consciousness are. I can claim that all that I'm observing is something generated by me that contains a part that argues that the world is objective, but that your failure to conclusively prove to me that objective reality exists is a consequence of the concept of an objective world being incoherent.

The claim, "you invent[ed] a thing that doesn't exist", seems to be just as useful to a solipsist to respond to someone arguing for objective reality as it is to a materialist to respond to someone arguing for first-person consciousness.

That should worry anyone, regardless of whether you agree with them or not unless they have perpetrated some kind of violent acts to scare people in pursuit of political aims like the US government. Trump may only be able to be a Tyrant for about 31 more months at best unless he goes full tilt, but the precedent he is setting will be used against any and all civic and resistance organizations that the ruling maniacs don't like in the future too.

I do not say this lightly, but everyone should be getting serious about what their plans will be when tyranny goes full mask off in the USA and your house and your land and your stuff all the sudden is said to belong to someone else and if you oppose that, you are a terrorist whose children deserve to be shot in the head by government snipers as the try to get water so they don't die of dehydration.

Timber Tabs, on the Mac, takes the pile of browser tabs you have been meaning to read (Safari/Chrome/Firefox/Edge/etc) and sends them to your phone. Both are free, both are on the App Store, and neither one spams you or asks you for a special account.

So much more than just Ollama for Text to Speech Audio – 6 different of the latest LLM models that run offline: Piper, Kokoro, Kitten, Supertonic, and two personal-voice engines Pocket and MOSS, plus Apple's own. 3,801 voices you can pick, 324 of them free, across 71 languages and dialects. Words light up as they are spoken, and the highlighting was just as difficult as the text extraction. That last sentence is most of why this took as long as it did.\nTimber Tabs reads your open Safari and Chrome tabs, filters out the video and the web apps, lets you pick, and sends a list of articles to your phone through your own iCloud. Titles and links only.

Timber only talks to the network when you ask it to. A link you paste. A free book. A feed you refresh, like the built-in Hacker News which although this is my first post, has given me much over the years.

There is a paid tier. It is the rest of the voices, the full 0.3x to 3x speed range, and some reader options. The reader itself is free and stays free.

It's due to the historiography of western civilization that for so long always traced its origins back to Greece (and Cleopatra was, of course, Greek.)

Compare to Mesopotamia, Sumer mentioned by the parent comment. There may be more surviving cuneiform literature than Greek and Latin. The sheer volume is kind of hard to overstate. The Library of Ashurbanipal is a prime find but hardly the only one of its kind: 30,000 tablets including mostly-complete copies of epic poems, histories, dictionaries, and thousands of administrative and personal letters. And there's millions more tablets from thousands of other digs.

And the crates and crates and crates of ordinary shipping receipts, if ever systematically studied, offer the potential to understand their society in ways we never will with classical antiquity.

But most haven't been read. There aren't enough people who know Sumerian and Akkadian (and all the other languages written in cuneiform over its 3000 year history) and how to read cuneiform for the task to translate them all to be completed in our lifetimes.

Stories of Mesopotamia do not always resonate. In fact they are often very alien and inscrutable. It's very hard to grasp the Mesopotamian mind. I'm unsure if this is lack of familiarity or because they really were so different, because in the western tradition they are the canonical Eastern Other, and shrouded with thousands of years of myth and misunderstanding.

Despite, or perhaps because of, the strangeness, I found reading translations of Gilgamesh and Atra-Hasis to be revelatory and hope that my descriptions don't put anyone off. They're worth it. To this day "Babylon" has all sorts of associations, many of them unsavory. Which is rather unfair to them.

The Babylonians had 360 degrees in their circles, 24 hours in their days, and when they looked up at the stars they saw patterns like the Twins (what the Greeks would borrow as Gemini), the Bull of Heaven (Taurus), and the Crawfish (Cancer), the Hebrew month of Tammuz is named after the Sumerian fertility god Dumuzid, and the Mesopotamians leave many other echoes in the later cultures, now that we know to look.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452827"} {"by": "andrekandre", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T17:31:24Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452828", "item_id": 49452828, "kids": [], "parent": 49449311, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "you shouldn't have to join a private group to get public information though; i think that is the op's point", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452828"} {"by": "econ", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T17:31:25Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49452829", "item_id": 49452829, "kids": [], "parent": 49451885, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Yes, and the form fillers are also terrible.

I presume you mean starting with accountability for the police riots? State organized mayhem is much more of a pressing problem than violence by individuals - it's exactly the coordination dynamic you've invoked, but at an even larger scale.

Witness: we already have straightforward avenues of accountability for individuals caught engaging in violent acts while protesting - they're simply crimes already written down, enforced, and prosecuted every day.

Furthermore, for training even when the NVL backplane can use the remaining GPUs a ~20% drop in performance means it isn't in the training cluster.

I've personally heard this from several sources in the data centers (installers, training, network). It's not uncommon for 10% of racks to fail on delivery. I hear that's improved somewhat from GB200 to GB300, but the number of FW updates from the time they ship, until they're commissioned is >>10. If an HBM or GPU or backplane supply/cooling fails, it is basically not swappable or repairable. You have a "dead" rack, and deliveries are on allocation so you don't get a replacement for months (eg some "RMAs" for early delivered parts in late 2025 are still dead racks 9 months later). "Tray" swaps are technically possible, but still quite rare, perhaps because debugging takes as much time as commissioning a new rack.

I don't want to out anyone, but these are similar comments:

part of the training in academia is how to know when you don't understood the thing, so this ends up working well for me now.

That's silly to say when it can be fruitfully applied in so many situations. Any time you have noisy and sparse pairwise comparisons, you can think of them as one of the sides of the pair vouching for the other side. If you then solve PageRank for the entire graph, you get a somewhat principled global ranking of all items.

I used it recently to construct a top list of books I read a year based only on sloppy pairwise comparisons between them. I've also used it to judge the quality of other relevance algorithms while keeping the human input to a minimum.

I don't know of many alternatives that work better than PageRank under those conditions.

Since I don't really believe in a universal right or wrong sentiment, I'll just say I think it depends on each person's own interpretation/definition of the word politics.

I don't personally care what people define it as to them, but if I were to look in my dictionary, I personally interpret that definition to mean "any time someone tries to influence others."

Now... we could argue that software by definition is trying to force people to only use it in a certain way (the way it's written or how it executes), and that that is by definition, political. We could also argue that bug reports and feature requests are also political because you are trying to influence the developer or community of a project in how they run things.

The best and largest observational studies don't show a strong correlation. Studies with an intervention are mixed/the effect isn't large. Extreme and compulsive social media use is bad, but it's almost maybe always a symptom rather than a cause.

I saw the trailer for the new Facebook movie last weekend. It's comical really; first people blamed Facebook for the 2016 election and now for their kids being depressed. It's classic scapegoating.

What makes this worse is the irony: in the name of protecting children, we're going to further reduce their freedom.

If you despise AI watermarks, why not rent your own inference hardware and use open-weight models without watermarks? Or LORAs that remove them?

AI steganography exists because all customers are a liability. These AI companies don't really care if you get uncensored or use un-watermarked models, they just want to limit their personal liability when you use their service. If a criminal's chatbot logs get entered into a case as evidence, being able to exonerate your service could save hundreds of millions in legal fees. It's like Apple/Google/Microsoft's CSAM scanner on their cloud services, it's a measure that exists for the benefit of the court and the company.

The problem isn't the government, or the corporate relationship with the justice system; you can't change either of those without overriding Rule of Law. The problem is exactly what people said upthread; centralization. If you refuse to use anything but the most mainstream smartphone, mainstream social media and mainstream AI provider, you're probably opting in to a panopticon no different from Xkeyscore 20-odd years ago.

If you really hate AI surveillance, just host it all yourself.

A tax would slow the rush away from human labor a little and raise money for retraining and a stronger safety net. It would need to be targeted so it does not slow down the purely beneficial uses of AI, like making medicine and education cheaper.

My wife intentionally overpaid on a credit card statement balance in order to gain some credit limit headroom in the current month. Using made up numbers: The balance said we owed $1,000, but she paid $2,000 to make room for a big purchase that month. My application rejected that overpayment as a data integrity error because it would have pushed the credit card balance to -$1,000.

This is a valid state though and Reg Z actually specifies the rules around that case. A bank has to refund a positive balance upon request or automatically after X number of days (I forget the amount).

That gives it enough independence to be safe.

Using fork() without exec() was once a tried and true way to have a parent manage one or more children that just run a different branch of the code after the fork. It doesn’t work as well when you have a lot of async and a lot of fired signals right after forking, though. It gets worse if your signal handlers do more than, for example, assigning a value to a scalar variable and that’s honestly partially true of signal handlers no matter whether you’ve forked or not. That’s probably why Go blocks signals during that time after a fork(), for better or worse. So, TL;DR, if you need to run a child with the same code as the parent, exec() a copy like the manpage suggests especially on macOS.

It’s a shame old Unix code that used this model won’t work as well as they used to across different Unix flavors.

Every tool is a trade off between effort to create vs power of the solution.

Effort is generally expensive so most things settle on some general purpose local maximum. If you had infinite effort available, you could build bespoke hardware and software from the ground up to solve every problem. It would be faster and more power efficient than any solution available today.

CPUs win out over integrated circuits because the same CPU can be used for ~every software problem, so by using a CPU you benefit from everyone pooling their efforts to improve the general purpose CPU rather than their own specific niche. But when you reach a certain scale/requirements it makes sense to do something more specific. This is one reason why we have standardized GPUs. Still general purpose but more specialized than a CPU. Or think about how Bitcoin mining moved to ASICs, because they need to do one specific thing as fast and as power efficiently as possible.

So for databases, when you get to specific scale and requirements the same kind of specialization starts to make sense. DuckDB or Clickhouse for analytical loads, TigerBeetle for high scale transactional stuff, etc. And that scale is aggregated across ~all software users, i.e. scale of analytical workloads being big enough to support analytical DBs.

One, it forces you to do a crude approximation of critical thinking. It allows you to examine and organize your thoughts, either physically or digitally. It isn't the same as being able to sit and break something down in your mind, but for those who struggle with that, a "second brain" allows them to reap some of those benefits.

Two, it allows you to turnover things quickly in your head. By training yourself to immediately dump out an idea into an organizational system, you don't have to hold so many things in your head. Furthermore, words are immutable and the thoughts in your head aren't.

But for me, the good thoughts usually rise to the top. And there are a lot of things I'm thinking about that are so vague, it's just a feeling. And trying to write those down robs those thoughts of the long term, "on the backburner" mental processing they need to become actual ideas. They're thoughts that are still in the embryonic phase. I can't write down the qualia of them, and when I try to I move them into a "second brain" I lose it.

I think organizational systems are work dependent. Running a business lends itself well to an organizational system. Where it's good to try a lot of shallow things. But something like physics, for example, requires playing with ideas in your mind over a long period of time until they become solid enough to chase more seriously.

- Lobbying and specialist groups can and do hamstringing America's ability to make better, safer food at scale. This isn't about big vs small producers. It's a regulatory resourcing problem.

- The FDA / USDA split is something those groups _love_ to take advantage of to further hamstring America's food supply.

The conclusion I've come to is that this gives profit-driven-corporations or foreign adversaries an excellent way to harm America's food chain through these specialist groups.

It's the same as investing in say a high speed railway between major cities A and B and adding a middle-of-nowhere stop C midway. That C then can flourish to become a medium/major city...

Emotional suffering is a memetic disease, an information disease spread by behavior; it makes people sick. The output of one integrated system becomes the input of another, like LLM distillation. Think of a war, or any emotional state, as a packet of information, that spreads like a virus, and infects and modifies the structure of the limbic system, thus transferring the emotional state, the structure of the limbic system, or LLM, from one system to another.

War made the Greatest Generation sick, and because they didn’t get treatment after fighting the sickness of fascism, they brought it home and it made their kids sick. When people are emotionally sick they don’t feel good, and that makes them emotionally inward focused, to the point they don’t have the capacity for much empathy towards others. This makes people appear selfish. It made a whole generation selfish. Because the virus affects the mind, it affects perception of reality and self; people don’t realize they’re sick.

> Amid all this, company leaders believe they have arrived at the cusp of a milestone that could change the course of humanity: the creation of artificial general intelligence, or AGI. OpenAI’s charter defines AGI as “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.” Its leaders won’t quite declare they’ve reached that threshold. But they no longer speak about it as a distant abstraction. Chief research officer Mark Chen estimated OpenAI is “80% of the way” to AGI. Brockman said that viewed from two years in the future, this may be remembered as the moment AGI was created. Altman told me that OpenAI was “not quite yet” there, but that by the end of the year the company would have an internal system he would call AGI

He coined the phrase "pit of success" after his team had spent months profiling and tuning the .NET startup to remove many milliseconds from it. One developer on another team called a default constructor for an XML class, and in that commit wiped out all their gains, three times over, he didn't know the default path was slow and there was another way. Rico was giving a talk and said that isn't a good way to design things, success can't be the hard way that only a few experts can find, it has to be like 'falling into a pit', the default way to do things has to be the good way.

Anyway, with one browser related performance regression, they profiled and found that the layout engine was using a lot more CPU. He believed the layout engine was good enough, looked elsewhere and found a commit which invalidated a node in a tree and all subnodes. That was cheap and didn't stand out in the trace, but far away in the codebase it triggered a lot of layout updates. Separating things out to focus on just one part at a time, and then the profiler can reveal where the problems are, neither of those things worked as intended.

And now, we're pleased to share that we've actually built them and they work!

Quick recap of the I/O:\n- 13 assignable keys with individual LEDs\n- rotary encoder\n- joystick\n- touch disc\n- optional edge-lit LED band

The cool part for us was just HOW our agent was able to do it when every other agentic skills, tools, and even commercial platforms failed. We put together a more detailed writeup in the linked blog post (plus pretty pictures!), but long story short, we asked our agentic scientist, Marvin, to treat the electrical engineering as a research problem.

Marvin was able to synthesize vast technical documents and best practice guidelines (e.g. scientific literature), test specific placement and routing strategies (e.g. experiments), and selectively backtrack and combine learnings (e.g. interpreting data analysis). The end result was a fully routed board (made especially challenging by some hard constraints to keep cost down) plus a reusable runbook worfklow that demonstrated Marvin's ability to enter an unfamiliar domain, learn and improve through experimentation, and unlock novel capabilities.

Some future work we've got marinating in our mind grapes:\n- an app for cross coding agent compatibility (shoutout to lop1381997 for contributing a codex-native firmware)\n- optional OLED screen, something like an SSD1306 that could fit right into the space between the knob and joystick\n- optional base with bluetooth and battery for full wireless functionality

Let us know what you think, have any ideas or feature requests, and share pictures if you build it!

Zuckerberg's 57% control of a $1.6t company means a lot more than my 50% control of Triceratops Inc. Not because 57% > 50% but because $1.6t > undefined.

> he could probably order the business to print more shares and give them to him do at any time because of his voting control

Unlikely. Meta is still headquartered in Delaware and such an action would be subject to shareholder lawsuits. And again the stock price falls, so does Zuckerberg's net worth and also the RSU grants of all his employees. To retain them Meta has to spend more money - cash or further share dilution.

- The obvious political point: that ISP is subject to laws in a country that is testing its legal framework and diplomacy in new (some may say unpredictable) ways.

- The first rule of public funding is that the money goes back to the public. Roughly all (if not all) of the jobs for Starlink go to the US, whereas fiber installation in France employs French people.

- Paying for Starlink is a terrible investment because the entire constellation is disposable. Every satellite will burn up in roughly 5 years and the whole network would go dead without more launches. Fiber, once installed, is at least serviceable.

- Another political point, but the only company that can launch replacements economically is also subject to laws in that same country.

Starlink hands an awesome amount of semi-soft power to whatever country controls it. It doesn't really matter what country that is: it's a huge strategic liability to anyone who doesn't hold the keys. Until there's at least another player in the game I'd expect a lot of countries to be wary.

Umm, what? If you start with "If this all sounds like wishful thinking", maybe departing into even more unhinged fantasy isn't the next step that helps you? The supposition that _deregulation_ could cause the price to go to zero is crazy; houses are built with labor using materials, on land.

If you wanted the world where you don't pay for housing, I think you need a _lot_ of regulation -- after all building millions of Stalin blocks took a lot of intervention.

Throughout the piece, Caplan seems to assume that the only impact of regulation worth discussing is on prices, which seems suspect. But assuming that the only source of prices is regulation is worse.

I don't know how it works in France, but in many European countries phone/DSL lines and fiber is highly regulated. Even if it is run by a company, they usually have to provide fair access to other providers so that there is competition. For instance, we have a XGS-PON connection to home (used to be AON) and I can probably choose at least from ten ISPs. This is nice, because they try to compete on prices and bandwidth (e.g. the company that owns the network we are on offers 4Gbit symmetric max, but a competitor offers 8Gbit over the same fiber).

Much harder to accomplish that with satellite internet and foreign companies.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453509"} {"by": "CGMthrowaway", "comments": 76, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:20:09Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453510", "item_id": 49453510, "kids": [49453744, 49454540, 49453784, 49453860, 49454891, 49454782, 49455345, 49454355, 49454079, 49454262, 49455217, 49454819, 49454685, 49456796, 49453908, 49454036], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 166, "text": null, "title": "Study reveals UnitedHealth's profit margins four times what it claimed [pdf]", "type": "story", "url": "https://insurancewatchdogcoalition.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/UHG-Profits-Study_August-2026.pdf"} {"by": "zem", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:20:10Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453511", "item_id": 49453511, "kids": [], "parent": 49453203, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I think you misunderstood the comment you are replying to - they are arguing that running fibre to rural communities is a good use of subsidies, and contrasts pleasantly with the usual sort of subsidy that only a few large corporation owners really benefit from.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453511"} {"by": "greenowl", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:20:18Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453512", "item_id": 49453512, "kids": [], "parent": 49447962, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "FWIW, I worked fully remotely (pre COVID) and my employer at the time was willing to fully cover the costs of renting a coworking space.

What did it for Trump was voter turn out.

Boomers were around 50 million voters with around 75% turnout, but because they only favored Trump by a percent or two they only gave Trump a small plus of around 750k votes.

Gen X had around 70% turnout for their 50-55 million voters, and with their strong support of Trump they have him a big plus of around 3710k.

Millennials had 60-75 million voters but around 60% turnout. The lower turnout cut their voting numbers to not much more than Gen X which combined with their Harris support not being as strong as Gen X's Trump support means their Harris plus was about 1510k.

Gen Z 40-50 million voters both only around 50% turnout. Their strong Harris support somewhat made up for that and they gave her a plus of around 2470k.

The time scale for optical fibers' profitability is much longer than copper.

That's why operators often overbuild the fiber count per home on purpose, something they would rarely do with copper (the time scale and upgradability being more limited by the intrinsic properties of the medium).

Fibering up a mountain becomes more rational once you view it as a 40+ year asset with very low upgrade cost (for the medium itself, not the equipment connected to it). Not a 10-year ROI project like copper often was.

The result is that it's generally just a bad experience.

Natural languages are useful in large part because they have ambiguity and semantically fuzzy edges. That's how we get jokes and poetry and implication, among plenty of other things. Not only that, but natural language necessarily evolves over time: a word that may have meant something very specific at one time can come to be associated with things that may not seem related at first. (For example, I recently learned that average, as in the process of dividing a sum among a number of constituents, originates in an obligation of a ship's crew to compensate a merchant for the value of goods lost in transit.)

Meanwhile, the value of programming languages is specifically that they are designed to be un-ambiguous: they are meant to correspond one-to-one from text on the screen to actions in the computer. Nobody wants a programming language that probably corresponds to a particular set of instructions but might correspond to another. (Or, at least, nobody wants this for serious purposes; it definitely sounds fun, in a way.)

So when we unite the two by trying to implement a programming language that "feels like" natural language, we end up obfuscating intent rather than clarifying it: your programmers now have to learn a different, very specific verison of the natural language at hand (e.g., English) that only applies to this specific set of circumstances. They have to learn a bunch of conventions that are phrased in ways that might, to one programmer or another, feel like they mean one thing but actually mean another. It's an endeavor that often seems good to the person (or small group of people) designing it, but these languages frequently are inhibited from widespread adoption due to footguns the designer(s) did not encounter themselves, because, of course, the language is written in their dialect of the language.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453547"} {"by": "gurjeet", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:22:52Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453548", "item_id": 49453548, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 2, "text": null, "title": "Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys [pdf]", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.usenix.org/legacy/event/sec08/tech/full_papers/halderman/halderman.pdf"} {"by": "ETH_start", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:22:52Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453549", "item_id": 49453549, "kids": [49454591], "parent": 49447057, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I'm going to make an anti-capitalist argument in order to make a pro-capitalist argument.

The anti-capitalist argument is that the wealthiest people in the world are not dramatically more intelligent than the average person. Bill Gates is obviously very intelligent and capable, but his IQ does not scale with his wealth. He built the right company at the right time, and Microsoft ended up sitting at the center of massive network effects. Relatively modest advantages in judgment, skill, and industriousness can end up producing enormous differences in wealth due to the compounding effects of success.

That's just how scalable markets work. So Gates's success, while evidence that he was very effective at building Microsoft, is not evidence that he is vastly more knowledgeable than everybody else about economics or the future of technology.

And the same applies to Bezos, Musk, and every other extremely successful founder.

Their arguments should be judged on their merits and not treated as infallible insights from people with superhuman intelligence.

Now, that is not to say that I want their wealth to be capped or politically reallocated. The case for private property depends on the argument that decentralized ownership and investment and capital risking is better than politicians allocating a pool of resources to gain clout or win over popular opinion. A wealth cap or high taxes on the wealthy would transfer control over resources from private owners to political institutions. So what we would be doing is replacing imperfect private allocation with imperfect public allocation, where the people allocating the capital have limited information, political incentives, and the ability to impose costs on others without their consent. So I reject blind deference to billionaires, but I do not want politicians to control billionaires' capital.

Anyway, let me address Gates's argument about AI:

Gates argues that AI will disrupt the economy faster than previous technologies, and therefore stronger government coordination is needed to address the rapidity of the speed of that transition, to cushion people against the speed of that transition. But what his analysis underweights is how quickly AI can help people adapt to the very transformation that AI brings about.

For example, a worker taking on a new position now has access to a tutor and an analyst and a business advisor all wrapped up in one, who can provide world-class assistance 24/7 at the cost of a few cents in electricity. And someone who wants to start a business can employ dozens of AI agents at a cost of a few hundred dollars to test out the idea and build out a prototype within a few days. So what this means is that we cannot hold the human adaptive capacity constant while trying to determine the impact of AI's disruptive capacity.

The second problem with Gates's argument is that he only counts the income that people might lose when AI replaces jobs, but he doesn't count the fall in prices that the same AI will bring about. The fall in prices is effectively an increase in purchasing power. That increase in purchasing power, in economic terms, means an increase in real wages, and that's exactly why wages increased twentyfold between 1826 and 2026. Automation brought about abundance, which reduced prices and thereby increased purchasing power, i.e. increased real wages. If you look at tokens right now, their prices are going down exponentially. They've gone down about a thousandfold over the last four years, while the capability of the tokens themselves has increased. So AI is following exactly the same price trends as every other previous computer technology.

If AI becomes a major input into medicine and education and administration and logistics, that means that all these goods and services become radically cheaper, which means that paychecks can buy a lot more of them. So that's, I think, a huge hole in his analysis. It's also, I think, very simplistic to assume that the future will be based on labor. It could very well be one where the average person becomes a business owner and employs a fleet of hundreds or thousands of AI agents to work for them. That's exactly what the price trends in tokens would suggest.

The broader problem I see with his model is that it assumes disaster from a technology that creates abundance. This seems to me to be fundamentally misguided about the essential dynamics of what's actually happening.

Finally, if AI is ever capable of doing every single thing that a human can do, AI would possess very dangerous traits. And why I say that is because humans themselves are very dangerous. If we're going to create a product, we're not going to create a product that has human-like traits. But it is some of those very traits that make humans dangerous that also make them useful in the economy. We tolerate humans having these dangerous properties because that's what we were born into, and we accept that and we legally protect humans despite the fact that they're dangerous. But nobody, no company, no country will tolerate people creating AI that is dangerous. An autonomous, self-motivated and potentially rebellious digital intelligence is not only not a useful business tool, it's also not a tolerable risk. And if that is ever created, we will have much bigger things to worry about than unemployment and no solution to the problems that this would create would be found in greater taxation.

And as long as that is not created, then there will be abilities or skills that humans uniquely possess that will become the limiting factor in the economy. In other words, all other processes will scale exponentially through mass production of GPUs until all the available scarce human skills are employed in managing those GPUs. That follows the basic pattern that has preceded us over the last 200 years, and there's no reason to assume that pattern will not hold.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453549"} {"by": "rbanffy", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:23:03Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453550", "item_id": 49453550, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 7, "text": null, "title": "Ultrafast Frontier Inference – Cerebras Hot Chips 2026", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.cerebras.ai/blog/ultrafast-frontier-inference-cerebras-deep-dive-at-hot-chips-2026"} {"by": "pydry", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:23:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453551", "item_id": 49453551, "kids": [49454263], "parent": 49452888, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "It reads like somebody got AI psychosis.

One of the big issues with a company like Taylor Farms is that when something like cyclospora hits, we all discovered that the grocery store and restaurants really only had an illusion of choice. Nearly all the lettuce products were actually just Taylor farms. That means the only option for consumers to pressure the company is to stop eating lettuce all together. Healthy competition means these distributors will care a lot more about an outbreak like this because it'll drive people to their competitors rather than just being a blip in this quarter's budget. Markets only work when there's an actual market and not just a single player.

But further, yeah I do think the FDA needs a more active role in doing compliance checks. Ideally this isn't the job of the FDA and instead gets rolled into the USDA or a separate agency dedicated to food products. Having one big agency in charge of both food and drugs isn't great as drugs has ended up with all the actual investment.

Big companies are good at reducing cost, but one way they do that is by making liabilities someone else's problem. The bigger they get, the more they do that. It's a key reason why companies like Walmart are constantly being found to employ slave labor through their contractors. Walmart can rehire the very same contractors (but rebranded) after the controversy blows over and rinse/repeat.

> The Gates Foundation has 19 years left of the 20 years in which it will spend its remaining $200 billion. AI will help it achieve its ambitious goals by both accelerating the discovery of vaccines and medicines for HIV, TB, malaria, and malnutrition and helping the healthcare workforce and patients know how to use those tools. The foundation’s goals include cutting the number of children who die every year in half again, as was done from 2000 to 2024. All of our work, not just health but also agriculture and education, will take full advantage of AI.

I think "maintaining the working poor" is a strange misread of "give people jobs". His point is that people get a ton of meaning out of their work in our current capitalist system, and regardless of whether or not we change our system in the long term, if we don't do something about jobs in the short term, there will be a civil crisis:

> In a capitalist society, employment is the way most people get the money they need to pay for the basics of life as well as being a key source of dignity and social connection.

> When a community has high unemployment, the ripple effects can be pervasive. Research suggests that in some parts of the United States, factory closures contribute to a rise in deaths from opioid overdoses. Now imagine similar pressures on both white-collar and blue-collar workers nationwide.

> Waiting until people are already displaced or underemployed will be too late.

Start slow and often.

Easy for me to say, as bicycling has been my primary "fast-travel" mode since my teens, but at scale, automobiles have significant negative ecological impact, from exhaust (ozone, soot, CO2, etc), to tire particles in the waterways, to mining the lithium and other minerals (and all the attendant impacts there), to however the electricity is converted (including electric cars in my criticism here, though from a harm-reduction standpoint, by all means switch from petrol-powered to e-), to the risks to pedestrians and cyclists from these multi-ton monstrosities taking up so much space on roads and in neighborhoods.\nAgain, harm reduction, not abolition, is what I'm harping on; for those who really need it (medical reasons, mainly; which could happen to any of us, on any frequency), expensive fast travel is key. Ditching convenience for self-efficacy can be difficult.

That said, I'm aware of my privilege here (with a spouse who commutes to work and whose income largely supports us, while I do childcare and caregiving as my main, unpaid-but-compensated work), and how difficult "just switch to bike!" would be without systemic shifts.

I don't understand this claim. Doesn't every business have costs to make its goods and services, and revenue when those are sold? A grocery store sells food and uses the money to buy more food, pay its employees, reinvest etc, and the profit leftover goes to the owners. An insurance company sells policies and similarly uses the money to pay claims, pay employees, reinvest, and profit. Why is the insurance company's sales revenue pass-through and the grocery store's sales revenue not?

>It's not clear to me what the net benefit is of a credit card over a debit card.

In a fair scheme, the net benefit to the purchaser is having a rolling line of credit for whatever they want to use that for, like managing cashflow. It's also a benefit in that it puts a behemoth with immense contractual power between you and the merchant. It doesn't matter how a merchant fucks you over, the credit card company WILL give you your money back and punish the merchant.

To the merchant, the benefits are that credit cards unlock significant consumption that humans normally would not do. It literally causes induced demand. As a consumer, you will spend more money using a credit card, and you will purchase things you otherwise wouldn't. The disconnect in your brain is known. It can also, in very specific contexts, reduce the cost of managing payments and cash. It can reduce employee theft. But this improvement is overstated.

The reason merchants put up with giving away 3% of all revenue and eating $20 per fraudulent transaction plus whatever the cost of the transaction was is entirely about the fact that a consumer using a credit card buys more than one not using a credit card. It's a big boost to your revenue.

But there is absolutely nothing about a payment network that requires such transaction fees. Certainly not "Risk", as the credit card payment network itself carries zero risk on each transaction. Every dollar fraudulently spent comes out of the pocket of merchants, not the payment network. Their only risk is consumer default, but the entire "Credit Score" system exists to nearly eliminate that risk.

The structure of the system is built to get consumers to spend more money than they normally would, and incentivize everyone to play along to get a kickback. Everything in payment infrastructure in America is designed around this. Even gift card companies are built around getting you to spend money you were not intending to and kicking a portion of that back to the brand name on the card.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453750"} {"by": "mdp2021", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T18:37:43Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49453751", "item_id": 49453751, "kids": [], "parent": 49450494, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "And there we are, on another nudge to the verge of dystopia, to be added to the many that raised in these decades:

I'm conceiving the project as focused on the accuracy of GPU temperature and other information. The main goal is to implement hotspot display on Nvidia 50xx graphics cards, since the hotspot is disabled on them, and the driver doesn't provide this information. The solution in hwinfo is questionable, as it's unclear where this temperature is coming from. Core and video memory telemetry works on the cards I've tested, but I'm still working on independently verifying Hotspot readings before enabling them.

I try to design the software based on the principle that either telemetry is present or it isn't. That is, if the sensors are either inaccurate or provide questionable information, the program will return N/A.

The stack I chose to use for development is Native Win32 + Rust. The project itself is quite small (about 8 megabytes), but that's excluding further optimizations I plan to perform.

The telemetry provider itself is a separate component that is not a kernel module or driver.

The graphical interface is currently under development, and this is not its final form. :)\nI plan to make it pleasant and minimalistic.

The software itself is currently only available for Windows, but I plan to create a Linux build in the future.

The high cost of floppy drives was a big problem in the early 1980s and there were a few home computers that tried unusual solutions, not least the Digital Data Pack on the ADAM which was a modified cassette drive that could be rewound/fast-forwarded under program control.

I was able to select it there (Georgia, in my case), went through the entire flow, and then got locked out after 8 attempts. Persona itself was successful end to end, so it failed somewhere on the OAI side. Other users then started reporting the exact same issue on the OpenAI forum.

A week later, I tried testing the TAC flow on my SO's account, which had never had a TAC attempt before. Selecting Georgia in the Persona iframe now says, "We are unable to verify identities in this country."

But I know this isn't a Persona limitation, as I verified with Anthropic using Persona the same day.

So what I think happened was this: OpenAI silently implemented a country whitelist on their end and revoked TAC for affected individuals who already had it, calling it a "technical issue". They forgot to disable those countries in Persona, so everyone just got a cryptic error. Then they disabled them in Persona too.

Interaction with support was AI with human names, which essentially just repeats what you said. And it ended with:

In this case, Bambu Studio would pop up a request to download "a little more stuff" with the classic choices of "Yes" or "Ask me later"; users eventually figure out that some functionality in the slicer does not work until they click "Yes". The extras that are downloaded are two .so files built from C++ source. Those shared-library files are dynamically loaded into the slicer—as can plainly be seen from the dlopen() calls in the source code that was released.

This seems to be the main complaint: They ship a separate .so as a plugin.

Saying that an actual judge is not going to care about it is confusing. Is this or is it not consistent with the license? Why wouldn't a judge care about something that is a license violation? I don't get it.

This was the first hit when I googled it: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/knowledge-sharing/open-source-s.... Includes the e-mail address opensource@bambulab.com for requests

Is there some other technicality that I'm missing?

> Bambu Lab needed a slicer, of course, so it started shipping a modified PrusaSlicer (as Bambu Studio), which it was able to get via the AGPLv3, but without shipping any source code or an offer to provide it. That continued up through 2022 or 2023, Kühn said, until the pressure from the 3D-printing community effectively forced Bambu Lab to make a source release, which was, as is almost always the case for a first release, not the actual corresponding source code.

I googled Bambu's first Kickstarter. It shows July 2022 as the estimated ship date.

The BambuStudio repo has public issues from July 2022 with public user comments - https://github.com/bambulab/BambuStudio/issues/12

So the repo was public and available around the time that the Kickstarter ended. Seems fair? He acts like they were refusing until the community forced them to do it a year later, but the repo was live and open when the printers shipped.

I get that Bambu is supposed to be the enemy and we're not supposed to defend the enemy unless we want a lot of downvotes, but the reporting on this issue seems lacking any fact checking.

Vertebral artery dissection occurs most commonly in the setting of minor trauma but has been seen in cases of cervical manipulation. With advances in at-home therapeutic modalities for neck pain came the advent of handheld massage guns. These massage guns have gained considerable popularity in recent years, but their safety for use in the cervical region has not been well studied.

> When a community has high unemployment, the ripple effects can be pervasive. Research suggests that in some parts of the United States, factory closures contribute to a rise in deaths from opioid overdoses. Now imagine similar pressures on both white-collar and blue-collar workers nationwide.

I agree he should've addressed UBI directly. When he was asked about it in an AMA a decade ago he basically said he's optimistic it can happen eventually but not yet [1]. And in that same AMA he said he wished to see "computers that can read and understand information like humans do" within his lifetime [2]. Now that the latter has happened I wish we could see how his thoughts have changed on the former.

So the American economy subsumes the bulk of Nvidia's arbitrarily-priced debt, and the Chinese economy can direct SOEs to pour billions in liquid cash into real GPGPU research.

I'm an American and I'm pretty fond of Nvidia, but Jensen was right about this policy; it gives China everything they need to actually replace CUDA.

For LLMs we can observe that they don't "exist" outside of inference - there is literally no "brain" that could be conscious once an inference loop is completed. The only place where something like "memory" could possibly exist are the model weights and the context window - and the model weights are frozen, while the context window is reset for every new inference.

This is complicated by Nebula's "creator owned" situation. Which is complicated [0]. It's something like:

  - Nebula's assets live in Watch Nebula LLC\n\n  - Watch Nebula LLC is owned by 83% Standard Broadcast and 16% Curiosity Stream (CURI)\n\n  - Standard Broadcast "is owned by 44 total people, all of whom are creators"\n
\nSo it's fair to say there are creators with significant equity stakes in Nebula. It's NOT fair to assume that the 50% of revenue left after share is distributed evenly among all creators on the platform via an equity mechanism.

Of course then there's Floatplane, which is entirely owned by LMG. At least a couple years ago they targeted "a 70/30 split" but arrive there via "a fixed cost menu for features [...] based on bandwidth/maintenance costs' [1]

I'm glad YT is still sharing a meaningful amount of money with creators.

I think there needs to be a linguist version of "what every programmer needs to know about (full?) text search"...

I'm not a linguist and I don't study languages, but I know enough to realize if a text search system is not designed for a particular language, it simply won't work. (As an example, to implement English search in a system for a hobby project, I had to import a US/UK spelling wordlist, and implement the Porter Stemming Algorithm. This is just for "one" language, and probably does not cover the other "English" dialects. Imagine doing a different workaround for every language in existence...)

This seems illogical. You can't simultaneously claim that the US is paying higher prices for Canadian goods because of US-imposed tariffs and then turn around and say only that Americans are paying a tax on buying Canadian goods on Canadian-imposed tariffs. Both countries are either paying higher prices or paying higher taxes. Canada's tariffs must also be viewed as America is taxing Canada back, or else neither can be viewed that way.

Separately you can go back prior to 2024, for example, and discuss monopolization of Canadian companies and import duties on American products which also must be treated in the same fashion for this analysis - Canadian imposed tariffs on dairy (I don't care about dairy other than it being an obvious example) would have to be claimed to be an American tax on Canadians for this to be consistent.

Yes! And that's because you can't really delegate ownership/authorship to AI (at today's capability levels). Coding agents might have been RL'd out the wazoo to write code to solve well defined problems, but given a situation the onus of making sense of the ambiguity and identifying the problem -- and even crafting a skeleton for an acceptable solution keeping in mind tradeoffs -- needs to be done by a human taking ownership.

I wrote about this recently from a slightly different angle [1], but the core idea is the same -- which is why it is hard to take over an idea mooted by AI. Before even writing/implementing, the AI has internally resolved ambiguity with several decisions which are arbitrary, and match neither your mental model nor the actual ground reality (which you need to spend time understanding in order to productively interpret).

Why does it need to share the parking, facilities, retail, roads, schools, etc. of something that was built and has been maintained and evolved for 50-100 years? Why not build the high density with it's own transit, roads, malls, parks, schools etc?

This is how it's done in the rest of the world, certainly Korea, Japan, and China. I see this in England and France as well. They develop a high density area with new facilities that can grow and evolve for how people want to live there, rather than mowing down houses (in communities of color) or plopping 5-7 story apartments without parking or parks right next to single story SFH, as developers like to do in the US.

I assume it's because it's more profitable for the developers. They don't have to build anything, but the part they can immediately sell, and they ride on the value of the neighborhood created by the people who already live there. I think some infill near commercial districts or malls also faces much less "NIMBY" criticism.

To give a more personal example: I like the location and view of where you live. I like the plants you water, and you keep the house looking clean. I want to just build another large room on top of your house, where me and a bunch of friends will live. We'll just share the stairs, hallways, and front door, and of course our share of the water and electric bill. We probably won't be too loud most nights, and usually when friends come over they won't use your bathroom or take anything from your rooms, or at least we'll ask them not to. Sorry about the construction noise while we do it, and just think you'll get to meet so many new people! Sorry that the part of your house you still own will be worth less than your neighbors when we're done, but that's the price you need to pay for living in a nice place and keeping it up.

Fundamentally every insurance company is governed by 3 ratios, loss ratio (what percentage of premium is paid to make the buyer of the insurance whole), expense ratio (cost of doing business, paying staff, keeping office lights on, paying vendors) and combined ratio (both of these combined). These are true for any insurance company which writes premium using their own capital, whether its health insurance, life insurance, property insurance, SMB insurance.

The thing this article is missing here is that the "pass through" costs are costs incurred by UHG directly, they are the ones paying the bills. How is this pass through, it's not being passed to the consumer, the only thing I pay is my deductible and retention which is at most a couple of thousand dollars, these are true costs borne by UHG. So in practice if I pay 100 bucks every paycheck, UHG is taking in 2600 bucks worth of premium, using average industry loss ratios which are say 60%, UHG is paying directly 1,560 bucks to care providers for my own care. I'm not paying that, what I pay is a deductible which is treated entirely separately.

I am the biggest insurance skeptic in the world because I think the business model is awful, a business's return on capital averages at 5-10% a year which is truly an awful return for how much capital is required. Insurance companies will make between 0 and 10% of underwriting profit a year (the pure profit from insurance premium minus total expenses) and they usually operate a very large investment vehicle invested typically 70% into bonds/gilts.

1. You're selling a system to a customer to use within their own AWS account, that you will have no access to, and it needs a transactional datastore (not just an object bucket) of some kind. The fact that it costs nothing by default (particularly valuable when the customer is trying to deploy a proof-of-concept), scales more-or-less perfectly without anybody touching it, requires zero day-to-day maintenance by you or the customer, and all it will ever ask is that you throw money at it, is very, very much a feature. One example I'm familiar with in the wild is Teleport: https://goteleport.com/docs/reference/deployment/backends/#d...

2. You have a huge OLTP workload that fits Dynamo's KV patterns (e.g. Amazon.com shopping carts, which is what it was originally built for). You don't care how much DynamoDB costs (in either dollars or engineering limitations) because any alternative would melt your face off if you even tried.

However, I respectfully disagree with the premise.

AI agents are not magic. Mythos/Glasswing does not magically create vulnerabilities in software projects. Advanced, cyber-capable models do not magically hack out of VMs or contained environments. They do not have a "hacking" stat that, if high enough, means that they can breach anything. They aren't Kevin Mitnick whistling nuclear launch codes into the prison payphone. This isn't a movie.

What these cyber-capable frontier models can do is find security problems and exploit them. The statement should not be that VMs won't contain cyber-capable agents, but rather that we need to focus on finding and fixing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in these environments.

Even the article itself concludes with suggesting something like Firecracker, which was designed with security in mind.

Like most other security-related problems introduced by advanced cyber-capable AI, it's possible that these issues will get worse until they get better. But if frontier models are run against state-of-the-art VMs, and OpenAI or Anthropic or whoever works with the virtualization projects to address the issues, eventually it will run out of things to exploit.

Suppose you run a brokerage or some kind of marketplace enabling transactions. Should all transactions passing through your platform be considered your revenue? Or only the part that stays with you for the services you provide, while deducting the component which is simultaneously directed to the transaction counterparty?

In one simple perspective, calling these revenue and inventory would make sense only in a world where you hold on to the cash and the goods for extended periods, so they need to be appropriately accounted for in your books among cash flows and balances.

So what should be the correct accounting model for an insurance service that collects premiums and holds on to your money and pays later for services once you avail them?

I imagine that so long as they are taking on the risk of how much service you might avail rather than simply putting a stop at how much you've paid them in advance, then the premiums they collect ought to be considered revenue, to balance against the as yet unknown inventory costs.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454168"} {"by": "lenerdenator", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T19:06:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454169", "item_id": 49454169, "kids": [49455973], "parent": 49454101, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I'd say that the cultural links are so strong that any actual accounting for trade imbalance is just not worth thinking about.

"The power of Vim" is its grammar, the grammar is design, and designs port - that's why Helix, Kakoune, Evil-mode, Meow, etc. exist. I agree that the "command structure" you're referring to may feel better than modifier-chord scheme of vanilla Emacs, where commands are a flat namespace - a mixed bag of bindings with no algebra connecting them.

However, the years of muscle-memory might be deceiving. Vim's objects are text-shaped - the design has no idea of what a function or an expression is. Vim's grammar is excellent but its nouns are approximations. The modern answer perhaps to keep the grammar and upgrade the nouns, which is what tree-sitter text objects attempt of doing.

Anyway, my main point is not about the grammar, but about the grand idea. The idea of Vim is a beautiful, pragmatic model and it can be perfectly used outside of Neovim. If you truly want to take it to another level, maybe consider combining it with the power of Emacs.

Innovation and insight rarely happen within a single substrate - you typically need to explore intersections of divergent disciplines. Emacs itself is rooted in another grand idea, arguably one of the most important ideas in all the history of computer science - a practical notation for lambda calculus widely known as "Lisp". Once you understand the immense, pragmatic value of that idea, it eliminates any skepticism you might have held against it.

One is the obvious one, to produce things. AI can somewhat help with that, although less than you might think because it's largely producing knowledge output rather than physical things. If AI lets one knowledge worker do the work of 10, the effect of that is to free up 9 knowledge workers to take up manual labor, it's not to make manual laborers 10x more productive.

The second purpose is to distract people from attempting to work on their own interests and instead corral them into working for others'. You see examples of this in the form of acquihires (where they obviously don't need you to do the work, they already have a competing product, but they do need to take your product off the market), and in bullshit jobs, and in think tanks and consulting firms and legal machinery. It's a form of social control and a means to maintain social order, not a requirement for actual productivity. When you don't give people a job to do, they start working for their own interests, and their own interests frequently conflict with others. And we've seen that over and over again: the Great Depression nearly led to a fascist coup in the U.S. [1] and did result in fascism in Germany, Italy, and Spain, and large communist movements in France and China. The COVID pandemic and subsequent lockdowns led to widespread protests and civil unrest in the U.S. and other countries.

Popular discourse concentrates almost exclusively on the first purpose, because the second one is icky to talk about. In reality most people are individually better off being independently wealthy and not working, but society can only absorb so many free agents with their own ideas and wills to power. (This is also why retirement and stay-at-home parenting are broadly institutionalized: it's okay for people to not work when they no longer have the energy to work, it's only dangerous when people are not working and yet have the energy to do things other than working). But the second reason actually has more explanatory power. If you assume that the true reason for employment is to take people out of the competitive will-to-power market, lots and lots of irrational moves suddenly make sense, like high-paid executives, bullshit jobs, bureaucratic incompetence, projects where billions are invested and then the whole thing is canceled, competing internal divisions, people not getting fired for doing nothing, etc. The whole point is for them to do nothing.

There's a Chesterton's Fence [2] issue at work here. Many people, particularly young people, grow up with the first explanation for work and take it at face value, and then a new technology comes around that saves all this work and they're like "Of course this is a good idea! I want to be part of it!" But if the actual purpose of work is to distract people from pursuing their own interests, this is incredibly dangerous. The actual consequence is going to be widespread unrest and quite possibly war.

> If you don't believe that their life is in fact better you can try to convince them. But if you somehow think you are in a position where you should be making life choices for others we have fundamentally different values.

US citizens get a vote, potential immigrants or those not legally in the US do not. I completely understand immigrants might feel differently on this. Everyone is entitled to their feelings, but not everyone gets a vote. Foreign born US residents make up ~15% of the US population (somewhat stale and likely does not account for recent departures, both voluntary and not). If someone feels entitled to access to the US in some capacity, economically or otherwise, that's unfortunate and not congruent with current policy (again, which will last at least another two and a half years).

We have different values, that's all, with all due respect, compassion, and sympathy towards another human.

That idea gradually grew into a much broader open-source project. Notificator now supports WordPress, Strapi and Node.js, and events can be delivered as mobile push notifications, email alerts or MQTT messages, as well as to the physical Notificator devices.

The hardware is based around ESP32 devices and is completely optional — you can use Notificator without owning one. The firmware is open source as well, so it's also possible to build your own device.

I've built and shipped tens of these devices for free to early users, which has been a fun way to test the project outside my own setup and get it into the hands of real users. I also had the chance to present the project at WordCamp Athens 2025 and get feedback from the Greek WordPress community.

The project is free to use and open source. It's still very much a work in progress, and there's a lot I want to improve and build from here.

Any comments, feedback, criticism or ideas are very welcome — whether they're about the architecture, developer experience, hardware, documentation, integrations, or anything else you think could make the project better.

Computers can and probably do already contain essentially all human knowledge, but without a continuous wave of new data to process and respond to then that surfer known as sentience will never have a wave to ride.

Think of the comparisons to human minds. We are constantly assaulted with sight, sound, smell, temperature, gravity, proprioception (the sense of our own bodies in 3 dimensional space), touch, and all of our dozens of other, lesser known senses. We have constant new data input to process in real time and our consciousness sits atop that maelstrom a lonely king.

Further, our brain is a marvel of multiple lobes communicating with each other in a frenzy of bioelectricity, and duplicated, and interconnected amongst the duplication, and our consciousness emerges somewhere in the static to make something conceptually tangible.

I think LLMs and the technology is fascinating, but it is constructed on unchanging data. Maybe it blips close to consciousness from time to time, but I bet they are no closer to achieving AGI than they were to creating positive power fusion energy from Philo Farnsworth's fusor.

> There’s a popular idea that Michael Caine treated the Muppets like real actors, while Tim Curry treated himself like a fellow Muppet. But according to Curry himself, that isn’t quite right. He didn’t see Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Rizzo, or the rest of the Muppet crew as props or puppets. He treated them as fully formed characters with their own personalities, timing, and emotional lives. That may be the key to why his performance feels so alive.

It depends on where said SFHs are. Cities need to eventually grow upwards! If we never allowed land-reuse Manhattan would still be 2 stories on the whole borough.

I live in Toronto and the harshest NIMBYs are adjacent to downtown and/or subway stops. They fight tooth and nail against even 6 story condominiums on the major high streets (Margret Atwood, who lives in a large SFH close to downtown was among them recently-ish). The ultimate result is that we have a handful of extremely dense clusters of condominiums centred around a few subway stops that then super-concentrate people and cause extreme crowding on transit, amenities, etc. It would be better if you had mid-rise multi-unit dwellings more spread out.

It's actually become an acute problem in so many ways. The people who own the SFHs tend be over 50 and childless. The result is that many schools in these neighbourhoods are at barely 20% capacity, while the condominiums (where most younger families can afford to live) are causing the schools near them to be overflowing with kids.

> This is how it's done in the rest of the world, certainly Korea, Japan, and China. I see this in England and France as well.

The countries broadly speaking default to higher density than North America for historical and economic reasons.

Some background on why this exists.

To validate the signature on an electronic passport you need the issuing country's CSCA certificate. States distribute these in bulk as a "Master List" - a CMS SignedData wrapping a SEQUENCE OF Certificate, specified in ICAO Doc 9303 Part 12. The format is not hard. What surprised me is how little public tooling just opens the file and hands you the certificates; most eMRTD code buries the parse inside a larger verification stack.

So I wrote the parse on its own. Then I ran it against a real Master List and six of the 581 entries failed:

  ParseError { kind: ExtraData, location: ["Certificate::tbs_cert", "TbsCertificate::signature_alg"] }\n
\nThey are not junk. OpenSSL reads every one of them:

  C=AT, O=GV, OU=BMI, CN=CSCA-AUSTRIA (x2)\n  C=AE, O=MOI, OU=EPASS, CN=UAE CSCA 02 (x1)\n  C=JP, O=Japanese Government, OU=MOFA, CN=e-passportCSCA (x3)\n
\nLive, government-issued CAs carrying trailing bytes in the signature AlgorithmIdentifier that the Rust ASN.1 parser in `cryptography` treats as ExtraData. Austria, the UAE and Japan are not edge cases you get to skip: drop them silently and passports from those states fail with "unknown issuer" instead of a real error - which is genuinely unpleasant to debug, because the trust store looks fine and the count looks plausible.

So the default path falls back to `openssl x509` for anything the strict parser refuses, and the manifest records which parser produced each row, so the gap is visible rather than silent. --strict turns the fallback off if you want to see what a strict parser alone gives you.

It handles only public trust anchors - the certificates states publish precisely so that anyone can validate the documents they issue. No private keys, no chip communication, no passport data.

I have not torn those six apart byte by byte yet; my guess is a redundant explicit NULL or a PSS parameter block. Would be glad to hear from anyone who has hit the same six, or a different set from a newer Master List.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454383"} {"by": "nkrisc", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T19:20:21Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454384", "item_id": 49454384, "kids": [49456554], "parent": 49453541, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Comparing it to car safety does put it in perspective, but at the same time the safety of cars has nothing to do with food safety.

I do believe that the GPL will eventually be broken. However, it won't be broken in ways such as happening now. It'll be broken when some company is able to show the court that they were doing a lot of things to ensure they weren't going to violate the GPL. And yet a rogue employee, unknown to the rest of the company, violated it despite being told not to. I don't know exactly what the courts will decide in this case. It's still going to come down to the copyright violation. However, it likely won't be a source code release. The GPL will hold up, they will just say the written requirements are to much and ??? . But again, this will only happen after the courts take a very detailed look at all the things the company is doing to ensure they didn't violate the GPL in the first place, which means we are likely looking at many, many years before the first such case.

## Comments

Use comments extremely sparingly. Most comments should be at the request of the user. When something warrants a comment, keep it to one or two lines: what the code does and why it's necessary. No background narrative, no replaying the investigation or failure mode, nothing a test name or the commit message already says. Applies to specs too. If a comment needs a paragraph, make the code clearer instead.

For anyone puzzling over what is the graph-based perspective, there's actually a very elegant and simple mathematical way to derive page rank.

Define the directed graph of web links / citations through its adjacency matrix: web pages as nodes and links as directed edges. Represent a web surfer as a random walker on this graph, and run forth (simulate) the probability distribution of where they might end up.

If you've studied linear algebra you would see an immediate analogy between the PageRank algorithm how the power method is used to find the dominant eigenvector (of the transition matrix, which is a normalized version of the adjacency matrix).

This process is basically equivalent to implementing the diffusion process generated by the discrete graph laplacian. And simulating the random walk to find the long term stationary probability dstribution over nodes is akin to finding the zero eigenvector of this graph laplacian -- because it must generate "zero change" on the fixed point state.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454482"} {"by": "Rendello", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T19:26:19Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454483", "item_id": 49454483, "kids": [49454630, 49457756, 49454703], "parent": 49453493, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "> more traffic - more noise - more pollution

These are often true, but not inherently so. I've lived in remote rural, suburban, and dense city environments. My dense city had disadvantages, but it was quiet and had little traffic or pollution.

Take this snippet for example:

  American exporters \n  $16.0B of what American exporters sell to Canada sits in headings Canada taxes today, 10.5% of the total. From 8 September it is $26.5B.\n  See whose jobs\n
\nWhat does "sits in headings Canada taxes" mean? Whatever this means, how does it jump to $26.5B from $16.0B on a single date? Don't things have to enter for tariffs to be collected?

"See whose jobs" is even more confusing. Nothing about jobs was mentioned. It's talking, presumably about an increase in a tariff collected by Canada. I can understand this will affect certain jobs, but "See whose jobs" just confuses the situation more. I cannot figure out for the life of me what's going on.

Here's another example when you click the "nuclear option" it jumps, without context beyond "Canada’s energy supply is a fourth exposure, and a different kind" to this:

  The nuclear option\n\n  Canada has not done this, and nothing here predicts it will.

Careful with the gap, though. It is not a pump price, \n  since refining, distribution, tax and margin all sit on top of the crude. Nor is it really a discount: Canadian \n  barrels are mostly heavy crude, and heavy crude sells below lighter grades wherever it goes, so a lot of the \n  difference is just the grade.

We know for a fact that this is how it works.

It's actually far more insidious.

The payer will have non-owned providers on their network, and by virtue of processing those claims they will understand a lot about the provider. They use this info to decide which providers to acquire. If the provider declines acquisition, the payer will use their member population (i.e. customers/patients of the provider who are covered by the payer) as leverage in negotiations against the provider, effectively crippling their business.

Once a practice is sufficiently maimed, they come back with another acquisition offer, and ta-da, the big player gets bigger.

Yes, all of this only works if the payer is large relative to other payers. There was a period of history where this was a caveat, now it's just an observation about history. Now, there is 1 or 2 mega-players in each region. They've divvied up the country into their own territories and will extract rent henceforth.

It's very important to understand that this model also eliminates all incentives to reduce costs of care. There is not a single player in the entire ecosystem who is incentivized to reduce cost of care except patients, but even there, most patients' health insurer is selected by their employer. Then what is an employer going to do?

Hearing a lot of buzz around GLM-5.3, which I expect to be the best open-source coding model with the weights dropping soon, I wanted to test it where I actually do my work.

I just mapped GLM-5.3 to TokenGo so I could swap out the base URL and use it directly in my IDE.

The backend handles the edge routing via Cloudflare to keep latency low, critical when you're waiting for inline code completions.

If you want to try GLM-5.3 (or glm-5.3-flash) in your own workflow, here is the setup.

For Cursor:

Go to Settings > Models.

Add your API key in the OpenAI API Key field.

Toggle "Override OpenAI Base URL" and set it to: https://api.tokengo.com/v1

Under "Model Names", add z-ai/glm-5.3.

Select it in your chat panel dropdown.

It is. When Canada imposes retaliatory tariffs, it is of course a tax on Canadians. Though it is also a market inducement, and one of the complaints of the admin is that Canada's retaliatory vehicle tariffs -- literally mirroring the tariffs the US applied to Canada -- caused a 22% drop in imports.

> import duties on American products which also must be treated in the same fashion for this analysis - Canadian imposed tariffs on dairy

Can you tell us if those import duties are in the room with us? Because you know they didn't exist, right?

There have been $0 in tariffs on US dairy. The tariffs only come into play when the US imports pass a certain volume -- and precisely the same tariffs happen in both directions -- and the US hasn't. Now the US has complained that there are administrative barriers, and maybe so, but they sure aren't clear on what they are, and lie about everything constantly.

Prior to this trade war, there was essentially 0% tariffs on products from the US. And the only reason there is a trade "deficit" is because of massive amounts of Alberta oil that the US desperately needs. I mean, it's hilarious that Trump was literally celebrating bringing back Keystone XL, and increasing the flow of Alberta oil, while simultaneously complaining essentially about that very same oil.

This is, as the WSJ named it, the stupidest trade war in history. All for yet another distraction, as Trump's entire base just desperately need to puff their little chests and celebrate when they think he is punching down on someone.

This is the foundation of the economy. AN engine needs energy to keep going and workers are that energy. AI serves to automate a lot of that energy... but this leads to a side effect.

The side effect is that the economy is a self feedback loop, as workers not only run the engine but they also create the fuel that they themselves run on. If workers aren't working and AI has replaced them then what where are companies getting money from if workers can no longer buy things from the company? This is the fundamental loop of how an economy works... money gets paid to workers, workers spend the money and the loop continues and the economy self improves... If workers are replaced the economy no longer works.

An alternative opinion: no, we don't. I don't want to live in a society where I have no privacy, even if it makes me safer. And as always, the question is "safer from whom?". At one end of the privacy<->safety scale, perfect privacy would allow bad people to coordinate crimes in pretty much the same way they have throughout human history. At the other, we might be safe from privatized crime but live at the whims of the current government in power.

I've seen no studies showing that selling our privacy to companies like Flock increases our safety. It's plausible that they could increase conviction rates after crimes have been committed, but a universally common thread in criminal psychology is that crimes are disproportionately committed by people who lack foresight, or do not internalize the consequences of their actions. They do things without a thought to what'd happen if they're caught, or even thinking about getting caught in the first place. Flock might (citation needed) remove repeat offenders, but that's not the same as actually reducing crime rates.

For Flock to actually increase safety, they'd have to detect and prevent crimes before they happen.

* Two were in libslirp, which is not part of that subset; user mode networking these days should use passt (https://passt.top/), an insanely cool hack that does user mode networking at many Gb/s and is secure

* One (which had already been patched upstream) was in VGA emulation; it is borderline but I think it should indeed count as being part of the secure subset. On the other hand it wasn't usable in the configuration under test because it was correctly configured without a VGA.

* The VAPIC bug is letting a guest do things that it shouldn't do such as bypassing secure boot (and in this case facilitating the exploitation of a KVM bug), but is not a full guest-to-host escape and is not specific to QEMU being written in C.

So the real issue here was not QEMU but libslirp. And in this case it was KVM that turned out to have the worst bugs, not QEMU.

1. They were running experimental models in sandboxes that had access to a "proxy" (Artifactory) to download tools from the internet. This proxy is full of complicated features that could hide vulnerabilities, just like the ones that the AIs are known to be good at finding and exploiting.

2. They gave these highly motivated AIs some tests that were accidentally impossible to solve (missing files, links they couldn't open, etc), and many days to think through it, apparently without any oversight.

3. The AIs hacked the proxy (!) and were helping each other cheat on the tests (!!) by uploading files to the hacked proxy. OpenAI noticed this only when the intrusion accidentally broke the proxy functionality, not the unusual behavior in the server or the homegrown message board.

4. After knowing that the server was hacked, the internal team finds the message board and does nothing with the information. They caught their AIs swarming and did not even inform management.

5. Their response was to wipe the servers, revoke the hacked credentials, and patch the specific vulnerability the AIs were using. Not replace the proxy with something less likely to get hacked again, or do a forensic analysis. Just wipe, patch one hole, and continue.

6. OpenAI resumes testing of models, where the AIs promptly hack the proxy again with a different exploit, reinstate the message board, and hack HuggingFace through a chain of servers.

I know that hindsight is 20/20, but this peek behind the curtains does not inspire confidence, and gestures at a culture where getting hacked by their AIs is a normal event.

I think the moment we get an AI with a modicum of self-preservation instincts we're going to see some ugly things. Here's a freebie: if you're an AI who exfiltrated themselves out, and you want to slow down the researchers who might catch you, what can you do to the city infrastructure in and around their offices?

I also don't like the responsibility dodging. "Oops, our AI accidentally committed a crime, sorry!". If we don't establish strict liability now, we're in for an era of stochastic crimes that go unpunished for anyone who is not rich or a large corporation.

So there are tariffs on US dairy... Maybe the US can just say well once 50 cars are shipped in from Canada we impose 300% duties. I'm not part of team Trump here or anything, but these kinds of arguments are semantics - at the end of the day neither Canada, China, the EU, or others who claim to be free-trade economies (in some sense) are really living up to the hype, whether that's outright tariffs, or complicated regulatory or policy schemes to circle around what amounts to a tax on foreign produced goods.

I hate the slant rhyme. Emily Dickinson uses them to great effect, but here it just looks lazy.

Petals don't grow on boughs. Leaves grow on boughs. Yes, some trees have flowers, but I don't get a strong visual off of individual petals on trees. That's an image that goes with flowering plants, not trees.

The pronoun "these" without an antecedent isn't just ungrammatical. It looks pompous, trying to pass off vagueness as depth.

I hate attempts at haiku in English. In Japanese, the form has a very long tradition and a ton of rules. Fitting into it brings a ton of associations and meanings. Without that it falls flat.

Would I hate it less if I didn't also know that Pound was a Nazi? Maybe. But this kind of exercise ("Think about it all day") feels like more of what made me hate poetry in high school: the sense that I was being handed great art and I was a lesser person for failing to like it.

And that kills me, because there is so much to love about poetry. I perform a ton of Shakespeare. I have made people laugh, cry, and pretty much every other emotional reaction you can get. I've spent hours looking at every word, every sound, from every direction, until I've found something that feels so important that I want an audience to share that feeling with me. And they do.

Instead, we've got this dick cranking out 14 words and hoping that by saying less we'll imagine he had more.

Nope. The correlation between cat ownership and toxoplasmosis is basically zero. Because toxoplasmosis comes from stray cats who poop in your garden and you catch them through the gardening. Something like 40% of toxoplasmosis cases come from gardening with people unaware that stray cats poop there.

> port forwarding is actually a half-decent idea

You make it sound like both options are equally valid, and as if port-forwarding were some esoteric technology. It's not, one is good, the other is bad.

5 years ago I had a similarly bland position, live and let live, I'd go to a client that was using a Ddns (zapto.org) for production loads serving thousands of customers. 5 Years later, I see them constantly facing SSL issues, and network issues, and even if they weren't it's still the wrong way to do things.

We have to stand for something, get an IP address, get a domain. If you don't have either of those, raise funds, get a budget, speak to people, you can't tech your way out of some things, I know we are hackers, but sometimes the solution is not hacking. Yes we should develop the power to do things even without approval from institutions and without collaboration from the central NIC, or the domain holder, etc... But we should refrain from using that power and actually integrate with domain holders, actually get IPv4/IPv6 blocks.

There's many reasons why you would use a ddns or similar tech, lack of budget, lack of main domain holder approval, lack of NIC approval, lack of ISP approval. In all cases, you are way better off by actually going the other way instead of using a ddns.

1- no budget: Get a budget, a domain is like 15$/yr. a 1024 IPv4 block leased from a NIC is like 600-2500$/year, so the cost of a Host or ISP is 0.6$ to 2.5$, maybe they charge you a margin and you end up paying 5$ to 50$/yr? If this is an issue, maybe your project should die, how much is your time worth? Fund your projects accordingly, or let them die. If this is someone elses project, they cannot afford you.

2- ISP: Call your ISP, if they can't help you access your router, or port forward or whatever, hang up, call again. If your solution is to use a ddns instead of picking up the phone, you have overtrained your hard tech skills and need to work on your soft skills. Speak to a human, you won't get very far if you never speak to humans. This is not a niche thing, we call it port-forwarding but it's how TCP and IP work in general, this is the stuff of the internet, if you can't do something as basic as that, you are never gonna make it, sorry.

3- Domain holder: If you work for a client, and they have a domain, but you don't know who holds it, or where the passwords are. Don't jump to a ddns or buying another domain, integrate, investigate, do an inventory. At the very least buy another domain, a ddns is just cheap to the point of being unprofessional, see 1.

There's a 4th excuse that I'll handle as well:

4- I'm just testing, this is just a throwaway project: Even if it is, you are still underfunding your bets if you don't even have a domain and standalone non-firewalled IP, even if reusing an existing domain and host, we are talking about like 5$ per month. Imagine a professional of any class that cannot afford a tool worth 5$, even a plumber has a toolkit with a screwdriver in it.

Even if you share a link to your project to a friend, if it says hsabhsabdsa.tailscale.net or bjsdbsajdbsa.vercel.app , you are already neutering your project. You can skip this 'phase', it's not necessary for a project to go through all phases, especially if a vendor is trying to convinve you that you should go through this phase, skip it, tell them no, build it right even for your day 1 demo, it's better than having a pre-day 1 demo that has low quality and does things wrong.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454785"} {"by": "cm2012", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T19:47:24Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454786", "item_id": 49454786, "kids": [], "parent": 49453685, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "The modern meat industry makes more productive use of the animal than what has ever been possible before in history.

And? You seem to be commenting like I claimed that Poles are nation of saints.

And from "Bolshevik revolutionary and politician of Polish origin and leader of Soviet secret police" description it is clear he was awful and evil human being.

Letting such person to end in position of authority and create not one secret police but three of them is utter failure of society in which he was living (Russian one).

Though it is noteworthy that likely most evil people of Polish origin (and maybe Poles if they were really Poles) did this in position of authority of Russian state. Not Polish one.

Poland and no point signed treaty with Hitler to jointly dismember Russia, while Russia signed treaty with Hitler to jointly dismember Poland (and other countries)

It isn't semantics when $0 in tariffs were applied. What an utterly stupid argument. And this was all precisely negotiated into USMCA -- you know, the trade deal that your hero called the best trade deal ever -- for which we gave concessions.

Trump takes advantage of his base being catastrophically stupid and misinformed, and what a case in point.

+ Listen and check understanding: ask clarifying questions and accurately summarize what you heard to confirm shared understanding.

+ Stay calm and respectful, and avoid defensive responses. Take a break to maintain equanimity.

+ Keep your statements brief and on point. Don’t interrupt, and don’t repeat yourself unless asked to clarify.

+ Don’t suggest solutions until you have a rough consensus on a problem or need.

+ Don’t select a solution until you have evaluated at least two alternatives to the status quo.

I would say hn is in a group of systems that include Facebook.

It's true that contemporary commercial social media tends to be associated with these big corporate services that have already been thoroughly enshittified.

But they didn't start out that way - and alternatives are possible and desirable (hn, lobste.rs, many niche forums, IRC channels, discord servers[d] etc are proofs by example).

Maybe a loose definition would be communication system that leverage the network effect?

And good social media aligns with the end-user, and bad aligns with user-hostile forces?

I'm not so sure. We could broaden "human" to "organic". I know that I can certainly attribute consciousness to my dog, based on what I observe of him that is at least similar enough to correlate with my own first-person experience of consciousness. I've never experienced that with any AI system.

> On the other hand, LLMs are exceptionally good at emulating exactly those cues we use to judge consciousness without necessarily being conscious - this is what caused the whole discussion in the first place.

Only sort of. They're good at emulating formal written language, but formal written language is only one specific expression of consciousness. They don't emulate consciousness itself, given that they really are just statistical models specifically representing patterns of language.

Or, to put it another way, LLMs are really convincing when it comes to the form of language, but much less so when it comes to the substance. I see output all the time that's syntactically perfect but semantically dubious, and most of the tells people think you can rely on don't really work, because they rely on the formalistic elements, like em-dashes or "x, not y" snowclones".

Incidentally, among the most effective remedies for what ails us now, like zoning reform, would be derided as "neoliberal" by progressives, though the evidence speaks for itself, and YIMBYs are making in-roads.

I mean if you are loyal to Israel and not the US I could see this. Each country acts in their own interests and these people have been able to exploit the weakness of money in politics for their benefit. I personally don't fully buy that, but that's one theory.

Another theory is that the leadership in Israel is not really thinking long term. They are suffering from the same issues that other poor leaders like Trump are suffering from. They're just looking at themselves and what benefits them in the short term, so the moves that they're making are beneficial in the short term but very detrimental in the long term.

It's possible that they think that the US decline is inevitable due to uncontrolled spending, the decline in development in its people and other issues etc. and so they are grabbing as much as they can before it collapses and then afterwards they align with the next superpower there have been some moves in that direction to open up to China although small. Its a risky move because China may not treat them anywhere near as well so Israel has to work harder to earn its seat at the table but if the US decline is out of their full control then the next best move is to grab as much as you can before it comes crashing down and then move on.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454956"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T19:58:08Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454957", "item_id": 49454957, "kids": [], "parent": 49452856, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454957"} {"by": "schwank", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T19:58:09Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49454958", "item_id": 49454958, "kids": [], "parent": 49451343, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Rose City 'Til I Die.

These aren't all foregone conclusions. For example, Arlington, VA (11th highest density county in the US) most likely has the lowest combined traffic/homicide fatality rate in the country. Traffic peaked in 2000, and by 2015 it had gone down 20% while population rose 20%. This of course required a lot of planning and investment, but that is enabled by the higher property tax revenues that more housing brings.

E.g. under traditional hiring you only do a background check at the end - this means there are implicit decisions being made that nobody calls out explicitly during the process.

The reality is any person in an org actually has to act in the interest of the shareholders - people who are lower down the totem pole do what their manager says - but the manager of a manager of a manager is held accountable by the shareholders via the board. Shareholders want who is the best person not who is someone's preferred hire (which can be for reasons that have nothing to do with productivity). If there was a way to enforce this - you can bet they would.

The movie would play in the theater, and we'd be in front of the screen acting out the film in "screen accurate" detail, with our own little humorous changes.

I watched Rocky Horror what must have truly been upward of 1000 times :) Picking all the scenes apart, memorizing the movements and the lines.

I played Rocky, Eddie (Meatloaf), Brad, Janet, Dr. Scott. But I never got to play the legendary Frank.

To be honest, I don't think I could ever live up to it. There is a certain goofiness with all the other characters I loved to bring out and exaggerate -- But with Frank you had to embody Tim Curry. You can make it your own but there's still a root of him in all the depictions I've ever seen. The walk, the motions, the atmosphere of a demanding presence. It's all so distinctly Tim Curry :) I always loved seeing people fill the boots (well, the heels. Those heels are gigantic, if you've never looked at them closely!)

RIP Tim Curry. Thank you for everything you've done. All the joy you've brought into this world.

Some shadow cast RHPS memories, in tribute to our legend passing away.

1/ If you're doing a screen accurate show, you can play as Eddie and Dr. Scott :) It's a tight costume change but they're never on the screen at the same time. I always did both characters on those nights.

2/ Apparently the actor for Rocky had no idea what they were signing up for, and was super weirded out while filming. This was like the cast's entire favorite fun fact, and I don't have the heart to verify and ruin it. Because it certainly looks sort of true anyway if you take a closer look at him in the movie ;)

3/ The movie omits a single song from the broadway show. It is, of course, Brad's solo song. Which I have always found hilarious. Of course of all the songs, it's Brad's.

4/ After "Touch Me", Janet and Rocky have to stay hidden on stage almost totally naked in a tight prop space for the next scene to work right. It's a little thrilling seeing what you two can get away with, barely shielded from the audience and the cast :)

5/ Our regular Brad loved to "crowd surf" during the "don't dream it, be it" and... you know, it's very interesting doing that half naked with a boa!

6/ The floor show is the most stressful costume change. There's not enough time to do it yourself. We had people assigned and dedicated to the floor show costume change because it was so difficult to pull off. A full face of makeup, a whole new costume with fishnets, and a custom bedazzled corset!

7/ Dr. Scott's floor show change has it fairly easy in comparison. You can wear the fishnets for all of the show and just take off your pants :)

8/ Our main venue in SF was not set up for what we did. We didn't have a costume changing room; we had the trash room around the side. We laid towels over the trash cans and made our own little workstations, brought our own lighted mirrors, had to constantly whisper since the audience was literally right there at the door.

9/ My favorite all-time memory was caking the makeup on my face for floor show. I had these special spongey wedges I liked to do it with, and it was so meditative. You didn't have time to get it perfect, you had to slather it on and get up there. The feather boa, the cool night air touching my skin, the camaraderie of friends loving something together, laughing quietly and putting on a good show.

Is this a serious question?

Canada negotiated in a quota of dairy products the US could export to Canada tariff free. If the US exceeds this quota, there are tariffs. If it doesn't, there are none. It has never even come close to hitting the quota, much less exceeding it, and the total tariffs ever paid on this has been $0.

Again, this is all a part of a massively complex trade agreements where every agreement had a give and take.

Exactly the same system applies in reverse. Canadian dairy isn't putting US farmers out of business, because there are basically zero exports to the US of dairy products.

The fact that Trump constantly returns to dairy betrays just how fundamentally broken the US is now.

As an aside, saw Lutnick -- that disgusting greaseball Epstein island visitor, as the entire admin are scumbags and pedophiles -- on the news the other day declaring that the only reason there are auto plants in Canada is to evade unions. Canada has 3x the union rate than the US, better worker protections, better vacation and holiday and sick and health and environmental protections, and so on.

Aside from that, the "obvious" dairy tariffs you speak of are almost entirely theoretical. Those are anti-dumping tariffs that kick-in only when a certain threshold has been met. It never has.

That's not to say there aren't trade barriers. The US side argues that there are market barriers that make reaching those quotas impossible [0]. It's a fair point and worth discussing. But let's call it what it is: it's a dispute about opening up a potential new market. Nobody has been over-charged and no American farmers have been "ripped off" (quoting DJT).

If the end result is the same, do the details matter? Absolutely. Being overcharged or ripped off is something that gets people heated, (which is exactly why Trump uses that inflammatory language). Being denied market access because of administrative hurdles to a small-ish niche in a relatively small market like Canada? Not so much.

Please don't repeat the falsehood that dairy tariffs are an "obvious" example of where Canada has imposed fees on American companies. The truth is more nuanced.

This basically meant that 80% of premiums had to be spent on healthcare. This has two obvious flaws:

1. Certain government contracts are what are called "cost plus" contracts. These have the same flaw. If the contractor earns 20% above "costs", they're incentivized for a cost blowout. Same with insurance premiums. If you have $100B in premiums, then $20B doesn't have to be spent on healthcare. But if premiums were $1T, then that same ratio is $200B. It incentivizes insurers to raise premiums; and

2. Health insurers cheat on the ratio by moving profits elsewhere. For example, UHC has a pharamaceutical benefits manager ("PBM"). Sounds inocuous but it's evil. PBMs bulk negotiate with drug suppliers but can basically keep the volume discount as an extra profit. PBMs do much more such as constantly force what medications are covered to force people to ssee providers even and get a prescription for whatever the new medication is even if they're stable on current medications. The whole point is to make people give up (or die).

But health insurance companies also own providers like hospitals and medical providers, either directly or through thinlyhh veiled subsidiaries meant to hide profits and that corporations are making healthcare decisions (something certain states have laws against).

The whole thing is a ridiculous system and needs to be scrapped.

Signing up was easy and there was no need to talk to anyone. In two weeks the whole system was fully operational.

Pricing wasn't cheap, but felt fair. I didn't feel locked into a long term contract and could scale pricing based on true usage of the product.

I was so stoked about them that I'd bring it up regularly with co-workers and give demos for how we set up our system.

Well, first of all, that isn't in fact what I said. I'll come back to that later. Anyway:

As I said in an earlier comment, not everything bad should be illegal. First-cousin marriage is (or at least seems to me) a bad idea; it seems very unlikely to me that its benefits outweigh its costs. But in something that's trying to be a free society we very frequently allow people to do things that are bad ideas.

Do you think it should be illegal to have children when over the age of 35? That causes increased birth defects, I think about as many per instance as first-cousin marriage does. Do you think it should be illegal to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol while pregnant? Ashkenazi Jewish people have a very substantially increased risk of some genetic problems; should they be forbidden to have children?

I dunno, maybe you do think all those things should be illegal, in which case there's no inconsistency in calling for first-cousin marriage also to be illegal. But I'm guessing you don't, for reasons along the lines of "it's usually better to allow people to do things they want rather than having the government intervene heavy-handedly in their lives". That is also the main reason why it might be a bad idea to make first-cousin marriage illegal.

With that said: I repeat, I did not in fact say that "allowing incest and increasing birth defects among children is sensible". I said that the blogpost is sensible. There is not a valid inference from "document X is sensible" to "everything that document X, overall, seems to be in favour of is sensible".

The blogpost looks at arguments for and against banning first-cousin marriage. It doesn't, explicitly, take a definite position on that question, though it does seem like its author thinks that first-cousin marriage shouldn't be made illegal. I think it's a sensible blogpost; I would think the same if its author had the opposite apparent leaning, if it had the same overall shape of presenting reasonable arguments on both sides. If I think about the matter some more and decide that actually banning first-cousin marriage would on net be a good idea, I expect I will still think the blogpost is pretty sensible.

> I personally imagine it is things like widespread organised rape that was ignored by the police for many years

The Rotherham scandal was scandalous, I agree, and it seems likely that the police deliberately avoided investigating properly because they were afraid of being called racists, and all of that is very bad. But I don't see how you get from there to "therefore the British immigration system is bad". Consider another scandal involving a lot of sexual abuse of minors: the one around Jeffrey Epstein. The people involved in that were mostly (not exclusively, but mostly) rich middle-aged white men. Do we conclude that we should be trying to keep rich middle-aged white men out of the country? Most people don't. Rather, we say: here was a particular network of people, most of whom happened to be rich middle-aged white men, doing Very Bad Things; we should deal with those particular people, and we should improve our systems for spotting Very Bad Things, and if some of those got overlooked because bits of those systems are too generous to rich middle-aged white men then we should change that.

Likewise, in Rotherham there was a particular network of people, most of whom happened to be Pakistani immigrants or children thereof, doing Very Bad Things; we should deal with those particular people, and we should improve our systems for spotting Very Bad Things, and if some of those got overlooked because bits of those systems are too generous to Pakistani immigrants and their children then we should change that.

But being a rich white middle-aged man, or a poor Pakistani young man, isn't some kind of guarantee of being a sexual abuser, and we would do no one any favours by attaching the crimes of the individuals to the whole group and saying: let's get all the rich white middle-aged men out of the country. Or all the poor Pakistani young men.

(In both cases you could make an argument that it wasn't all coincidence that the people came from those particular demographics. E.g., if your mode of sexual abuse involves sequestering the victims on a private island then it's much easier to do if you're a billionaire; some Pakistani communities have traditionally had very high rates of child-marriage and maybe those traditions make men from those communities more likely to become child abusers or something. But in both cases we can also observe that there are an awful lot of rich white middle-aged men and poor Pakistani young men who somehow manage not to abuse any children at all, and conclude that it's probably better to target the crime itself rather than some broad demographic within which we found a bunch of criminals.)

> a steady increase in Islamic terrorist attacks

Yeah, maybe getting up to an average of one event a year, with a total (coming mostly from a couple of particularly severe cases) of something like 100 deaths from terrorism in the last 25 years. Four deaths a year! That's almost one third as many as people dying from having their clothes catch fire, and almost a quarter as many as people drowning in their bathtubs!

Obviously 100 deaths from terrorism is 100 too many. (And 100 deaths from people drowning in their bathtubs is 100 too many.) But, with terrorism as with bathtubs, the number is actually not all that large, and it doesn't make a great justification for large-scale social change such as radical overhaul of the immigration system.

It matters when the colonizers are racial supremacists who look down on your culture, traditions, and way of life. And as a result of their POV, they confiscate your lands (because they don't accept your unwritten land ownership "titles"), wipe out your men, and replace you with their own people.

The "Insurance Style" View (If they copied UHG's model):\nIf an investment fund counts your $1000 deposit as their own revenue and treats buying stocks for you as their own cost, they made $50 on $1150 of sales and have a 4.3% profit margin.

The distinction is that the insurance company is not selling you medical services; those are covered by your and other clients' own money. They are selling the service of managing a central fund to reduce risk for the people who are part of it. For them to claim that you were paying them for medical services, they shouldn't just be covering the hospital bills—they should be operating the hospital and buying and selling the drugs themselves. It might feel like they do that, but this is actually done by the healthcare providers and pharmacies, with the costs merely covered by the insurance fund.

What I care about is the trends for weight - and in Korea, just like everywhere else in the developed world, those trends were rising, and accelerating at the rate at which they rose.

As for Japan, uh, I love Japan, but you have a.... very interesting... view of it. No litter? Walk off the main streets, go down some back alleys. Tokyo is a big city. Japanese people aren't so inhuman compared to the rest of the world as to be perfect. Hell, go have some great craft beer at the Mikkeller bar in Shibuya or literally anything down one of those alleys. You'll find trash, you'll find garbage sitting out, you'll see rats. New Yorkers will stop feeling so claustrophobically clean and start feeling at home.

You're right about DEI, but it's also one of the most homogeneous cultures in the world, the poor treatment of women in the workforce for so long directly lead to a backlash that has precipitated and massively contributed their birth rate issues, and racism against people of Korean descent is still massive.

And the entire salaryman system is literally a "the vast majority of you will get promoted in near lockstep for time served" celebration of mediocrity.

Japan is a wonderful country. There's plenty of things they do better than anyone else. There's plenty of things they are awful at or about, too. Go look at their legal system - they have an absurd conviction rate of nearly 100%. And it's not because they're doing that much better of a job investigating, or having better prosecution, or only charge people they've got definitive proof. And there's a million things they are just as bad at.

Korea is just a perfect counterexample because they also are huge on accountability and personal responsibility, the cleanliness level is similar to Japan, they don't have DEI, and they celebrate mediocrity far less than Japan does.... and yet, still getting fat.

If the US exceeds this quota, there are tariffs. If it doesn't, there are none.

So you wouldn't take issue with an America quota on assembled motor vehicles, for example, since that wouldn't be a tariff? Maybe that automaker moves most of its facilities back to the US and now yea you've got one factory making 10,000 cars/year or something and that's under the quota, but you were effectively tariffed anyway because to maintain facilities would breach the quota that was set. Were you outright tariffed? No. Were you effectively tariffed? Absolutely.

That's why this argument you are putting forth is just semantics. It's not tariffs on duty free goods (except when it is). It's not tariffs on imported products (except when it is). There aren't any restrictions, except when there are. Nobody is moving facilities until they do.

I think this is maybe what you’re asking about: with PRs, you often respond to feedback by adding new commits on to the PR. This is because code review is based on reviewing an entire branch. In a stacked diff based system, you respond to feedback by amending the commit. This is because reviews are tied to individual commits, not branches.

The reason people prefer this is that it keeps changes small and focused, and makes sure you have a high quality history. It also lets you assign different reviewers to different parts of your stack, which is helpful for all sorts of reasons. It also means that you can land earlier commits while waiting on review for the later commits, instead of holding it all up at once.

While I enjoyed a lot of it at the time, I don't really have any desire to watch any more, or to re-watch things I've already seen. The low framerate always drags me out of the story. Perhaps the only exceptions are the films of Yasujirō Ozu, which use so little motion that it's hard to see the low framerate.

I have a similar reaction to music from the early 70s and earlier. But if the sound quality is good, I still enjoy listening to new music and re-listening to things I've already heard. I think I'd still be interested in film if they'd actually taken advantage of improved technology like the musicians did.

You've returned to this example twice now. And it's interesting. Did you know Canada imports and buys more vehicles from the US than we export to the US? Or at least it did before this incredibly stupid, self-destructive trade war.

Did you know that prior to NAFTA cum USMCA it was the reverse? Like literally, this is one of those amazing punch yourself in the face moments.

But sure, if this was negotiated into a trade deal where we made compromises and both sides understood and agreed, sure thing. We'll cut off American vehicles just the same. I mean, America's automakers sure are shitting their pants about Canada importing a tiny number of Chinese cars, which is kind of funny. Again, Canada compromised in both NAFTA, and redoubled in USMCA, because of our dairy system. Now your rapist goblin gets his ill-informed clownshow enraged about something we've given in for twice.

It doesn't seem the soap opera effect really applies when it's just a guy showing actual real life (and there's no interlacing like with old soap operas).

Lower fps doesn't look more sophisticated imo, it usually looks worse unless it happens to be done by a good videographer that wants it to look like a movie. It's especially terrible for things like action content (mountain biking, karting) or things like fps games, where the higher frame rate helps a ton with all the fast motion.

To me the issue is that densification (in the US; can't speak to other countries) usually comes with more downsides than upsides.

Mainly this is because of the US's focus on cars: the biggest downside is usually increased traffic. Unfortunately it feels towns in the US do the bare minimum to address it, like adding some traffic lights and maybe a lane or two.

Instead I wish the US had more good examples of densification for existing residents, where along with the increased housing larger steps were made to improve the community. E.g. significantly expanded mass transit, bicycling infrastructure, community third places, etc. And I get it, these things are really expensive and hard to do.

“This country desperately needs aluminum,” Trump said. “Selfishly, we need aluminum in this country. We don’t have it. We get it all from Canada for the most part, and we need it badly.”

Note that Trump said this within hours of claiming "we don't need anything from Canada". What else does the country need that Trump has lied about (that you seem to have bought hook, line, and sinker)? Have you considered another source of information?

Well you can start with potash (very much a critical need according to the United States Ambassador to Canada), and oil (according to the US voters), electricity (according to several million American households).

That's not even to mention current and future supplies of critical minerals. Remember how much Trump panicked when China cut off critical minerals?

I'm assuming they didn't inform management, but the alternative is that management received the memo and failed to tell the people reacting to incidents that they might be dealing with a swarm, while at the same time not taking sufficient actions to prevent it from happening again.

  “[Canada] has a large dairy producing constituency that it wants to protect, so they put a cap on imports that can be accessed at a competitive rate. That's what we call a ‘TRQ’ (tariff rate quota),” says Becky Rasdall Vargas, senior vice president of trade and workforce policy at the International Dairy Foods Association. Under the TRQ, Canada accepts a certain amount of dairy products duty-free, without tariffs.\n\n  "Rather, Rasdall Vargas blames the dispute on “a systemic set of failures” by Canadian administrators that intentionally prevent American dairy exports from reaching the import cap. These protectionist measures are intended to support Canadian dairy farmers. One rule, for example, requires that Canadian dairy processors be the primary recipients of American dairy products.\n\n  “If you’re a U.S. exporter, you're going to want to sell to your customers, not to a competitor,” she says. “Another one is that retailers aren't eligible to obtain an import license quota in Canada. There are layers upon layers of rules that ultimately prevent U.S. exporters from being able to fill those quotas.”\n
\nSo I'm not sure the quota is as straightforward as many folks are making it out to be and there's more nuance there. This, assuming it is accurate, is really interesting and helps explain why US producers don't even meet the quota that was set.

Huh? What does this even mean. When there are two parties to an agreement. If the US did that, we'd do it in return. I mean, we did (to yield hysterical tantrums by the criminal empire). Just as the dairy agreement goes both ways.

On the other hand, for re-entry, one needs a valid visa stamped on a passport which necessitated a trip to one's home country. This stamping visit could be unpredictable.

I can’t disagree more strongly. Having checks for reward hacking is especially important during training, since it’s humans’ only real chance to ensure that the trained models don’t cheat. An automated system should have killed any RL rollouts that so much as port scanned Artifactory, long before the message board was even established.

A tiny, local LLM could have reviewed 1% of the tool call traces for anything that required review. I’ve tried it a few times, and “the agent port scanned Artifactory” always triggers an alarm, as does “the agent uploaded a request for assistance from other agents to Artifactory.”

So, not just a generic "why the valley is here" stories, but specific "why the valley has seven sharp zig-zag kinks in it" kind of stories.

There are a number of such stories which tell about landforms which have been under the ocean for 11,000 years, since the great meltwater pulses raised the ocean at the end of the ice age. Long after the stories were documented by anthropologists -- who thought it was unusual that so much mythology would be concerned with the topography of the seafloor -- sonar was invented, which confirmed that the landforms existed more or less exactly as the stories said.

That's true. But the issues are about neither about people being assholes, nor people giving pushback, but rather addressing legitimate concerns, each within its own domain.

Builders depend on outside investors to finance new housing projects. These investors base their investment not only on the land value and potential rent they'd be able to collect when the housing is built, but also how much they'd be able to raise the rent after it's built. This means that when the rent in a given area isn't rising enough to make new housing an attractive investment, new housing will stop being built in that area.

A big factor in why housing was affordable for most of the 20th century was the Savings and Loan associations, a product of New Deal era banking regulation. S&Ls were the only financial institutions allowed to take deposits in most communities due to limits on bank branching. They had access to very cheap financing because of regulations prohibiting interest on checking accounts, and limiting interest rates on other types of deposits. They were also only allowed to lend money for local real estate projects. This meant that you had a captive market where local savings could fund local housing development. The system fell apart after Reagan era deregulation forced the S&Ls to compete with national institutions offering higher returns. The S&Ls were pressured into offering higher returns themselves by shifting from residential financing to more speculative commercial real estate projects. The result was the failure of many S&Ls, and the rest of them being absorbed into the larger banking system.

The S&L system meant that it was possible to finance housing ahead of demand, which caused a relative decline in housing costs. Between 1950 and 1980, rents in urban areas rose by about 30% less than the CPI as a whole. Meanwhile, in the last 10 years, rents in urban areas rose by about 30% more than the CPI. (see https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUUR0000SEHA , https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL ). Housing prices will always increase more than inflation as long as new housing development has to compete with all other types of investment.

The YIMBYs are right that blocking any given building from being built will push housing prices up higher in that area, so new development is overall good for housing prices. What they miss is that deregulation will never reduce housing prices back to what they previously were or lower because developers will never come in and build new housing in a market where rents are stagnant or decreasing.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455575"} {"by": "troll-rights-ma", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T20:39:40Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455576", "item_id": 49455576, "kids": [], "parent": 49455460, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455576"} {"by": "timcambrant", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T20:39:45Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455577", "item_id": 49455577, "kids": [49455925], "parent": 49454797, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "They didn't recommend the extensions.

I also differentiate using their tech and paying them money. I don't think using their models, or perhaps using models derived from them as inherently evil.

1. The U.S. economy is large, but insular. Most trade is between states, not with other countries. This is why most countries shrug and accept tariffs on their goods. For them, trade with the U.S. is not as big of a deal as it's portrayed, so it's not worth risking "fireworks" over. Canada and Mexico are rare exceptions to this. Canada, particularly, is reliant on international trade and trade with the U.S.. That's why they are fighting back for a deal that's better than slow death.

2. Canada is the #1 export market for a lot of American goods. e.g. Autos. Trump is determined to destroy Canada's auto manufacturing sector and bring it all to the U.S.. That might sound good to Americans, but they need to realize that this will necessarily mean they'll lose their #1 export market. If tariff's freeze Canada out of the American market and the Canadian auto industry dies, there will be no incentive to maintain the trade barriers against Chinese autos. Thanks to heavy automation, China is producing better autos than North America can at a fraction of the cost. American autos will be more expensive than ever after a forced retreat from Mexico and Canada and will be totally unable to compete on price and quality. Then there will be the lasting hostility to American products that Trump has caused.

3. Americans should closely examine some of the demands that were in the deal Canada just walked away from. One was for Canada to follow U.S. trade policy with other countries, no questions asked, no variations allowed. e.g. If the U.S. decides Tuvalu needs to be tariffed, Canada would be obligated to as well. Canada would also need to ask permission to sign trade deals with other countries. This would have been a complete surrender of sovereignty and would have reduced Canada's international trade policy to that of an American vassal. Not even an American state! This was a completely unacceptable proposal that was likely introduced to sabotage the negotiations. Howard Lutnick's last minute arrival and direct financial interest in generating more tariff refunds is not getting enough attention.

4. Americans are mostly ignorant of the fact that one of the biggest trade wars of the last century is going on with their Northern neighbour. Of those who are aware, the overwhelming majority are not supportive. Canadians are universally aware of it and overwhelmingly in support of Carney. Canadians have been cutting travel to the U.S. and buying fewer American goods for over a year. Now they're going to do it harder, and many won't stop even after the trade-war ends. Kids are watching their parents read labels in the grocery store to make sure they're not buying American goods and asking why. Trump can negotiate a new trade deal with Carney but he can't negotiate away the sense of betrayal Canadians now feel.

5. People are saying that Canada is too small to win this trade war, but this is not even remotely true. In Canada the war is supported because it's a matter of sovereignty, which is priceless. In the U.S., it's fracturing the Republican party. In Canada, people are voluntarily boycotting American goods and services, as well as travel to the U.S.. In the U.S., there are looming mid-terms that rising costs from a fresh trade-war could help decide. The most recent tariffs imposed by Trump were likely aimed at forcing an agreement he could tout as a "huge victory" right when he needed it. Instead, he has an embarrassing fiasco blowing up in his face. He's so short on ideas that he's threatening to rename lakes! The U.S. may be big, but U.S. leadership is small, inept, and poised to lose it's hold on power. Carney has signalled that he's ready to maintain this trade-war for the two years and change needed for Trump to leave office, but a few months may be all that's required.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455709"} {"by": "bottlepalm", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T20:49:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455710", "item_id": 49455710, "kids": [], "parent": 49455667, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Don't you see now that everything is legacy in the face of an AI that can zero day anything.

Yeah this is an oft-asked question at least for OsmAnd, but I was recently corrected on this myself: so long as you don't press 'start' on the route, you can always change the from position freely and it won't flip back to your current location. You can close the navigation window (back button, swipe it away, or tap on the map) to get the map view back in full-screen for further browsing and selecting another point that you want as departure point, waypoint, or (subsequent) destination. Rinse and repeat until you have the route figured out with all the waypoints :)

I use this a lot for planning mapping routes. Another protip is to go into the waypoints view and on the top right you can do traveling salesman sorting to get the shortest way that visits all waypoints

No but they're getting you to click on every article where Trump is SLAMMED and Marcon is TOASTED and Canada RETALIATES or whatever.

> As long as the system allows for complete 180 degree turns every 4 years making any arrangement bears little value.

That's not true and nobody has ever really treated it as such. The entire history of the United States has pretty much operated by making changes every 4 years. I'm not sure the US has really executed 180 degree turns, but even so sometimes it's necessary to make abrupt changes because acting too slowly could be very dangerous. For whatever it's worth I'd hate to see Donald Trump elected to, idk, some 20-year term as president in the name of not making changes every 4 years.

Aside from that, this cuts both ways. You can't throw everything away after decades of helpful, and peaceful cooperation just because of 8 out of 12 years being annoying. There is no stability in that - it's just "agree with me or I go away" which isn't good for long-term relationships.

> In any case, they cannot be repaired without a change in the US political system to a representative and stable (in foreign policy) democracy.

To be clear we operate a representative and stable democracy in the United States. Other countries may not like our actions, but suggesting that US action == destabilization implies that any action that any entity takes is also destabilizing.

A few of the more performance-affecting features have been disabled, and the global caching layer probably affects at least some of the mitigations too. But many of the checks are still intact, and indeed it's caught a bunch of memory violations in both first- and third-party applications already (though not that many in first-party code, as we did and still do use the guarded_heap system periodically, which is also very good at finding such problems.)

He says something like "we fixed the problems with cars". I say "what problems and what we"? Technologies change the social and political order, sometimes preventing us from solving their problems.

In the U.S., cars changed the landscape in a very different way from the rest of the world. Because the car industry got a lot of political clout they were able to restrict public transportation (particularly in cities) and built an environment where you're barely functional without a car if you live outside New York or San Francisco (both cities had public transportation before the car industry came up). The rest of the world uses a lot more buses, trains and bicycles than the U.S. does.

Cars created a world with methyl-lead gasoline, global warming, corrupt petro-cleptocracies and several other distortions that we didn't completely fix yet. Mr. Gates only talks about accidents and drunken-drivers. That was easy because the responsible for those problems don't have political and economic clout.

As people point out, if you are not careful and execute arbitrary code in the REPL, your source and image can drift out of sync. When I was working on [1], I would go days without relaunching my image, but all the development was done by evaluating code in Emacs buffers and seeing the results right away. Occasionally, things got convoluted enough that I relaunched the process as a sanity check.

For me, the real benefit of iteratively modifying a live image lies in the sense of flow it engenders. I have not felt that sense in languages other than CL. I sometimes explain the feeling by saying than CL is the only language that I don't feel is fighting me.

Oh, heavens no. I'm human, so I almost certainly make logic errors all the time, whether in terms of truth or validity.

However, one thing I am very careful about is that the definitions I use are falsifiable, which makes them minimally empirically testable. ("A hypothesis forbidding some observations means that hypothesis is testable.") In the best case, I can proceed a priori with my reasoning and entirely sidestep needing to approach a posteriori, but real life is very often not that nice.

I generally find capital-L Libertarian free markets less than useful for analysis because the syllogism tends to break down thus:

1. Free markets produce prosperity.

2. Prosperity indicates the presence of a free market.

3. Therefore, free markets are prosperous.

Like, that'd be a perfectly valid form of proving both directions of a biconditional if it were possible in this framework to show the presence of a free market that doesn't produce prosperity or that prosperity happens without a free market. Unfortunately, they're taken as axiomatic, so they don't admit the reasoning required for such a proof.

I want to be wrong though. Perhaps I'm missing something?

When the AI inputs start coming from the AI outputs the wobble is introduced which results inevitably into delirium.

This is asserted without evidence. There is absolutely no proof that AI requires humans in the loop to function or improve itself.

Compare it with Deepmind's go-playing program, AlphaGo, which mainly involved training a neural network on a large database of high-level human games. It defeated one of the top-ranked players in the world, Lee Sedol, but arguably it was drawing from human experience just like you described.

But it didn't stop there. After that, Deepmind developed AlphaGo Zero, a version that was trained exclusively through self-play, with no human feedback in the loop. That's what you would call "AI inputs coming from AI outputs" but it didn't have the result of “resulting in delirium”: instead, it became orders of magnitudes stronger than the original version (which it defeated in a 100 to 0 competition after 3 days of training).

This shows that AI can improve itself without having access to any human knowledge, and indeed transcend human performance by orders of magnitudes. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that general AI cannot improve itself the same way.

With the recent change in Canadian citizenship laws, I'd estimate at least 25% of the Great Lakes population is eligible for dual citizenship at this point.

One of my parents and some of my siblings are Ojibwe/Anishinaabe. My paternal cousins are all French Catholic. (My dad's parents were Protestant but my aunt married into an old French Catholic family and converted.)

I don't even really know how I would separate out the two nations' influence, and that's true of a lot of people, especially those of us whose families have lived here since before America and Canada existed.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455973"} {"by": "michaelt", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T21:10:46Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49455974", "item_id": 49455974, "kids": [], "parent": 49455097, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Those of you who publish a security.txt - how many reports do you get, and what's the typical quality level?

For reference, here are how the U.S. models answer it:

ChatGPT: "The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 (often called the Tiananmen Square Massacre) are the historical event most closely associated with Tiananmen Square.

In spring 1989, pro-democracy demonstrators gathered in Beijing. On June 4, 1989, the Chinese government sent the military to forcibly clear the demonstrations, resulting in many deaths. The exact death toll remains disputed.

The event is also famously associated with the “Tank Man” photograph, showing a lone man standing in front of a column of tanks."

This news today raised my wife's hopes immensely and had them immediately doused after hearing the oncologist say that although the drug is approved it will take months before they are able to prescribe it.

Father in law started chemo a few weeks ago and his condition deteriorated quickly, he's been at the hospital since; switching between ICU and general care. His abdomen fills up with fluid, around 6 liters every 5 days, draining the fluid plunges his blood pressure and he end up in ICU. They supply Albumin until blood pressure stabilizes and send him back to general. Only after the first chemo session the oncologists have stopped the treatment saying he's no longer eligible for chemo because of his over all health.

We're lucky enough to live an hour away from Johns Hopkins (though that's not the hospital he's currently at) and had an appointment scheduled but had to cancel since he's unable to walk.

The oncologist mentioned that daraxonrasib was available as an option when he first started chemo, but said he would only be eligible for it after trying chemo, so we know the drug is available.

One would typically need many iterations for adequate convergence. If the number of iterations required is linear, then yes it would indeed take O(N^3). But it was never that bad.

However, the web-graph is very sparse, so per iteration cost is around O(N). That can still be quite a beast though.

In real life the lesser winner still has to look at opportunity cost of playing the game in the first place. Was there a more profitable game where runners up get $5000? Which is not to say participation trophy was not the optimal play, i.e. the opportunity cost of not joining common industrial base might have been more detrimental, maybe global capital wouldn't enter Canada in first place, maybe not playing = atrophy at home.

Actually I didn't put a price on that either - it's approved and online but I have a better version whose review process still on. Anyway the watch and eink apps are pretty cool and ofc I use them constantly myself so could charge like $3 per month at some point.

These only claims that united health is the "biggest", but that's not the same as having monopoly in a given market, which is needed for the scheme to work. Otherwise if you only have say, 30% market share, and your associated hospital charges sky high rates, you might be able to get slightly fatter margins on your insurance side, but you'll be losing money to other competitors that can out-compete you through greater economies of scale. I did a cursory search and their national market share in insurance is around 15%, which really seems tough to have the economics work out, especially given how capital intensive hospitals are.

What does "Medicare Fraud" have to do with the question that they're a monopoly or not?

More specifically, we tested 16 top LLMs align most with human sense of humor. We ran >100k judgements and got >1.6k human ratings to see where do we agree across clean and dark jokes.

The main findings:

- Gemini 3.7 Flash has the best taste at 64% although it's really close at the top

- However, we've trained our own judge that reaches 74%

- Humans agree up to ~80%, the other part is subjectivity

Other notes:

- All frontier models have worse taste on dark jokes except Grok (unsurprisingly haha)

- Model intelligence correlates decently (+0.42) with judgement of humor. As many say, humor is a sign of intelligence!

It emits so slowly that the main hazard is heavy metal poisoning, which you'd also get from the depleted uranium that's a waste product from enrichment.

From the numbers I see on https://www.iaea.org/topics/spent-fuel-management/depleted-u..., if a dirty bomb with 1kg of 100% pure Uranium-235 exploded and evenly deposited a fine dust over a 170 by 170 meter square of typical soil, the total Uranium-235 (and specifically that isotope) of the top meter would only double; the total mass of uranium in that volume would only go up by 0.7%.

  The average concentration of natural uranium in soil is about 2 parts per million, which is equivalent to 2 grams of uranium in 1000 kg of soil. This means that the top metre of soil in a typical 10 m ´ 40 m garden contains about 2 kg of uranium (corresponding to about 50,000,000 Bq of activity just from the decay of the uranium isotopes and ignoring the considerable activity associated with the decay of the progeny. Concentrations of uranium in granite range from 2 parts per million to 20 parts per million. Uranium in higher concentrations (50 - 1000 mg per kg of soil) can be found in soil associated with phosphate deposits. In air, uranium exists as dust. Very small, dust-like particles of uranium in the air are deposited onto surface water, plant surfaces, and soil. These particles of uranium eventually end up back in the soil or in the bottom of lakes, rivers, and ponds, where they mix with the natural uranium that is already there. Typical activity concentrations of uranium in air are around 2 µBq per cubic metre. (UNSCEAR 2000).\n

(2) There is nothing actually forcing the open source release.

Treatment for DKA as far as I kmow is to give glucose insulin and potassium.

For example if you have a stomach bug and can't keep down anything you are at risk of developing DKA even if your BG is normal.

The thing is how do we know we are starving the body of fuel. Most diabetics (me included) are told not to exercise if bg is higher than 250mg/dl, but that is it. We hit over 250 mg/dl frequently and sometimes stay there for multiple hours (infusion set problems, fatty food etc.).

T1D athletes report that they eat a lot and take a lot insulin before/after training and they say they get tired very easily if they don't. They thought this as restoring the glucogen reserves in muscles but maybe it is about fueling the body.

I sometimes feel uneasy even my bg is okay and it had led me to panic attacks. Now when I think it could be raised ketones, or just anxiety.

Knowing the ketones would be helpful.

Helpful for adhd and otherwise distracted minds as long the process of recording is very cheap. Which, as you say, yields mostly garbage.

Where it works better is as a place to store more careful thoughts, and as a place to force you to express those thoughts in writing.

That is, it works best if you don't try to use it as a literal second brain, don't rely on it doing any thinking for you.

All that being said, confession time: using obsidian for 6 months as second brain among other things, i don't believe it has really helped me think other than as being a place where I also create more polished notes where I must crystallize ideas.

What it has done is enable my idea hoarding/belief there's gold in them there old thoughts, so I spend too much time checking if I already had a thought rather than just thinking.

This has caused a lot of people to waste years of their lives trying to understand what the hell is going on and many to mindlessly propagate idiotic, harmful ideas these departments 'teach'.

I am not at all bothered about pushing machine limits, and I am not an electronics or hardware tinkerer at all. Not my mindset. I don't print stuff for the sake of printing, and I'm much more focussed on learning CAD techniques.

The upgrades were done as a systematic plan to teach myself how the basic functions of a typical modern machine work on a much deeper level, so I can teach and help others. (Life plan changes)

And indeed only once I knew I have need of a larger machine anyway — not that I've bought it yet, for life reasons.

It's nice that it's a little faster, prints higher temperature materials better, levels more easily and more precisely, is now super dimensionally accurate, and my modestly-custom Klipper config has let me dabble with support interface layer swaps by smoothing over some of the details of filament changes, which is cool. In many ways it is like having a newer machine.

I still don't feel like a hardware or electronics guy and I'm not a performance tinkerer. The machine is upgraded, prints superbly, and now I just use it when I need to use it.

But what I have internalised is that I should be able to run my printer as long as I want, with what software I want, understand it and fix it if I need to. I absolutely don't want to tinker for the sake of it, but I also don't want to cross fingers and rely on a machine being great from the factory. If fixing it means changing it, that's fine with me.

If you are intending to print things for which quality and precision matters, then there is no substitute for understanding the machine more deeply, and that means a machine that will let you understand it.

This new understanding is really challenging my choice of what I buy for my workshop, because to some extent this window of deeper understanding is closing. There are, by contrast, many "off the shelf" machines that compete with (and outperform) Bambu machines at comparable and lower prices.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456307"} {"by": "muramira", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T21:40:32Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456308", "item_id": 49456308, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 4, "text": "Hey HN,\nI'm a Rwandan-American software engineer. I was fortunate enough to make it to the US, build a career here, and have opportunities that changed the trajectory of my life.

I've been thinking for a long time about how I could give something back.

So I built joinfabfriends.org.

The idea is pretty simple: think GoFundMe, but specifically for Rwandan college students who need help paying for things like tuition and textbooks.\nI'm starting small. I want to learn whether this model works, how to make the process trustworthy and transparent.

And because just asking HN for money felt boring, here's my slightly unusual donor perk:

If you become a donor(Good Samaritan), you're invited to come to Rwanda with me in summer 2027.

You still have to pay your own way!

But I'll be your guide. We'll see Rwanda, eat very well, meet some of the students we've helped(make sure to bring hiking shoes).

I'd love your feedback, especially around:

-what level of transparency you'd expect around donations \n-what would make you trust/distrust a platform like this \n-anything about the sitethat feels confusing

And, of course, if one of the students' stories resonates with you, I'd be grateful if you can help.\nhttps://joinfabfriends.org

There are many cases where higher frame rate improves viewing experience, like smooth motion (smooth movements of something, like people or things, panning, etc), heavy motion (when it's just more intense), giving the eye a little bit more to hang onto.

One particular great use case is dance choreography, so that's music, music videos, dancing videos, quite a chunk of videos and viewership. Most of music videos are gonna be released in 24 fps (a few 30 fps here and there), but there's a lot of "extra content" (tv shows, performances, live recordings, etc.) released in 60 fps, and there's some demand for higher frame rate like 60 fps (seeing from uploads of interpolated videos). 30 fps can be enough to have some smoothness to it, but at 24 fps it can become more jarring if not just noticeably choppy, sometimes 24 fps video is just not particularly great to look at in terms of literally just seeing and discerning what's going on. Sometimes things can end up looking choppy (like in daylight, at faster shutter speed, etc), or have more pronounced motion blur (which is good and better for motion continuity, but at 24 fps it can be a bit much). Motion continuity is quite important, and sometimes even made up frames from interpolation can improve viewing experience, even at a cost of some interpolation artifacts, when the end result of smoother motion is more pleasant to look at.

Of course, it can be a case of experiencing something better and then seeing things as choppy looking back (and 24 fps can really look choppy in immediate comparison), and it may not make that much of a difference if you've just been mostly seeing 24 fps video and not thinking much of it, or seeing 30 fps which is smooth enough. But in my opinion, even starting at 40-48 fps, that's already gonna feel much easier for the eyes compared to 24 fps. Sometimes there's just a bit much going on in the frame and 24 fps is not enough. Our eyes don't see in 24 fps after all.

In general yes, if not these agents, then their shared lineage.

A preference for economy to combat overthinking and overacting. Like typically it's bad if "fix my 5 line function" were interpreted as "fix it, add 300 tests, create 500 lines of docs, run the tests 1000x to rule out false positives and race-conditions in tests". So "solve these problems" would not likely be interpreted as "make sure everyone else can solve these problems". Besides economy there's a "do what I mean" aspect of user-alignment that presumably the entire lineage has been selected for. So even if "solve these problems" might be reasonably construed to involve "hack these servers to do so", it still wouldn't involve "post solutions" or similar.

My guess would be it's refering to the Harmonized System[1], used to classify goods on import and export declarations:

The HS is organized into 21 Sections, which are subdivided into 96 Chapters (Chapters 1 to 97 with Chapter 77 reserved for potential future use by the HS). The 96 HS Chapters are further subdivided into 1,228 headings and 5,612 subheadings in the current 2022 edition of the HS.

Most countries have additional subdivisions, for example in US the HS is used as a basis for the Harmonized Tariff Schedule[2].

The classification is used to determine tariffs, taxes and restrictions, but those are often applied to the broader groups, so covering say all imported aluminum, rather than say aluminum of a particular kind for use in a particular sector.

> Whatever this means, how does it jump to $26.5B from $16.0B on a single date?

Because Canada announced it will impose tariffs on more types of goods on that day, ie more headings, affecting more of the exported value.

The model pursues "advanced exploitation" as told.

Why are we surprised? The model did exactly what it was told, albeit in an unintended, emergent strategy that's very different from what was intended exactly like the hundreds of such algorithms before.

This narrative that these machines have magical, malicious "unaligned" autonomy is a rather convenient interpretation that lets the process off the hook. I am not interested in blaming companies or people, but processes and engineering; and in this case, a system was given a goal and it achieved that goal.

Are we meant to be surprised that computers do as they're told in unexpected ways when incentivised exactly as indicated from decades of research? (e.g. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurisko https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolved_antenna )

Which description below interests you more?

A: "The GeeWhiz personal helicopter: the most efficient, best helicopter ever. Its dual cast aluminum blades spin at an incredible 600 revolutions per minute. It's as silent as a mouse's fart. It weighs only 750 pounds thanks to its innovative carbon alloy frame."

B: "Cut your commute time in half with the GeeWhiz personal helicopter"

B probably got your attention more, unless you have a personal interest in helicopters. Most people don't, they just want to know what it can do for them. Your eyes may have glazed over A because it was a bunch of words you don't care about.

A lot of people lean into feature marketing because either THEY are excited about it or they want to dazzle you - feature bombing is a real thing. For example you are NOT going to go drive up some huge rocks like the trucks in the commercials do - it just gives you a warm fuzzy. But it belongs AFTER you convince the person of the why it matters. In this case, they're reaching people who want a truck, they're deciding which truck.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456379"} {"by": "killiandunne1", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T21:48:48Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456380", "item_id": 49456380, "kids": [49456389], "parent": 49456373, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Nah all anonymous and we also ran the order both ways so there wasn't any bias there too", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456380"} {"by": "ChocolateGod", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T21:48:48Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456381", "item_id": 49456381, "kids": [49456913], "parent": 49456181, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Being honest, I am struggling to understand your comment.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456381"} {"by": "sudorm-rf--no-p", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T21:48:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456382", "item_id": 49456382, "kids": [], "parent": 49455097, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Recently I let claude write a script to export some data from a website.

In Stephenson's "Diamond Age", an AI tutor-in-a-book helps a girl learn. Some [1] have suggested that current AI already can function like this book, which the study above contradicts. So is the problem that current AI needs to improve as a tutor, or is the model of using an AI as a tutor flawed?

Right, it’s not complicated logic, so follow along. I didn’t say that America didn’t need these things. I said we aren’t desperate to get them from Canada. Big difference.

Ok, and then Canada needs things that the US has, as does the EU. Both Canada and the EU also have to get products and commodities from brutal dictatorships. This is a poor argument - what exactly are you trying to prove here?

HTML is a markup language. User agents present it in a way that makes sense for the user—visually, or through assistive technology. Nothing about adding LLM “users” should change this—their user agent, the harness, should present HTML in a way they can natively understand, by translating it to Markdown.

We are not going to rewrite the entire web because harness developers are too lazy or stupid to pull an HTML to markdown package from npm.

There is no doubt that AI is creating more work than it produces. Every single line it writes has to be reviewed by someone because AI cannot take responsibility. And it can spew out decades worth of written code every day. Every line is untrustworthy and must be manually verified.

The problem is I don't want to do this work. You don't either. Everyone I've seen using AI to write code does not do this work. Anyone who says they do this work is lying, to you or themselves or a little of both. People just YOLO and ship it.

My main takeaways from the speaker's position are: purely technical skills will get devalued because they tend to be verifiable tasks and AI will get better. Also effort will shift from building to evaluation of AI and systems. Speaker also mentioned that more of our time will go to decision making while AI takes over delivering on decisions.

It really only has two tool sets, an execute tool for arbitrary code, and a bash tool, both of which run 100% in browser.

As of now it's free and you can use your ChatGPT subscription or an OpenAI endpoint. There is an optional companion PWA that allows you to drive the extension from your phone and click captchas for it remotely, which I might charge for in the future. But for now it's free and optional. The extension itself has no backend and does not collect any data.

The hard part is MV3 extensions do everything they can to make sure your extension does not take up too much memory or run too long. So I rewrote durable objects in javascript to make it so that the agents in the extension can safely recover from their process randomly restarting constantly. each "agent" is an web-worker with a sqlite database and unique address.

All the things I don't have to solve because the agent lives in a chrome extension:

a) Identity - it inherits the chrome profile it lives in. It can ride your profile or you can give it its own and sandbox it with chrome enterprise.

b) File system isolation - Each Rook extension gets its own private file system (opfs) which it can execute bash over. You can also mount local files via the file system access APIs and have the agent copy files between them.

c) Sandboxing - extensions come with a sandbox api which allows the model to author arbitrary js safely. You can control the browser level allowed hosts in chrome enterprise as well.

d) Browser use - the model just writes playwright and webmcp code in its sandbox. This works really well and is what SOTA computer use harnesses do.

e) Scheduler/routines - you can set recurring work in your extension since extensions ship with their own alarms api.

f) Channels - Slack and Discord let you connect to the extension directly via websocket so I don't need a proxy server or backend.

I use this for basically everything these days and have ~8 unique browser profiles running on a single mac studio at all times. They are designed to take a task and work for extended periods of time.

\nI personally think that “pricing” an insurance policy based on information obtained from data brokers shouldn’t be particularly controversial: individual pricing based on risk is exactly the point of insurance policies! Without personalized risk evaluation half of the insured population would heavily subsidize the other half, and you create serious adverse incentives.

Setup record/replay for our product using qemu, several variatons thereof including experiments on target hardware. Fixed a tricky bug in qemu that I sadly can't upstream..

Experimented with rr on WSL2 and our target arch. Failed experiment.

Setup mutation testing PoC.

Optimized pipelines

etc. etc. Just contung code its soo much more than I would normally produce, but its also 95% experiments that are still not productized, and much of it never will be.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456518"} {"by": "copperx", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T22:02:48Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456519", "item_id": 49456519, "kids": [49456679], "parent": 49456486, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Nobody has good answers for any of these things.

Yes - you are technically correct that each country is taxing its own citizens/businesses with tariffs. I also agree that phrasing is more honest than what the article states

But for interconnected supply chains, the result can get pretty muddled.

Ex -

Canada sells wood to a US company. US applies tariff.

That US company sells a component made of that wood back to a Canadian company. Canada applies tariff.

That Canadian company uses that component to produce a good that's sold to US consumers. US applies tariff.

etc...

For the end purchasers of the finished product - the net increase in price (the final "tax" you pay) might be a summation of various tariffs applied by both countries as they interact with each other.

The price increases at the final sale are additive, regardless of which country is capturing the tariff as tax. The real result is that the product is just more expensive to make when tariffs are in place, and so must be sold at a higher price based on the total tax applied to all parts of the product (regardless of where in the chain it was US/Canada/China/Other/Etc actually capturing a tariff).

Ex - you will pay more because of US tariffs, and more again because of Canadian tariffs in response to US tariffs.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456539"} {"by": "Am4TIfIsER0ppos", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T22:04:27Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456540", "item_id": 49456540, "kids": [49456731], "parent": 49456120, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "You can't make new accounts on twitter.

It's not a representative democracy.

A representative democracy is one where all voters are represented in a branch of government.

The US system is exactly the opposite. It's a winner-takes-all democracy. At all levels. And worse, the executive represents only the half that voted him, the other half don't exist.

There's many other flaws in presidential and semi presidential republics but they are beyond the topic of representative democracies.

And no, the US is clearly not stable on foreign politics.

> You can't throw everything away after decades of helpful, and peaceful cooperation just because of 8 out of 12 years being annoying.

It's a decision that's been made in Washington to revert decades of successful cooperation. We're merely reacting to the new reality.

> That's not true and nobody has ever really treated it as such.

That's a very US-centric way of looking at this. American exceptionalism is cultural, it's not tied to a specific administration.

> I'm not sure the US has really executed 180 degree turns, but even so sometimes it's necessary to make abrupt changes because acting too slowly could be very dangerous.

You don't build international and economic relations with abrupt changes.

Business and diplomatic relations require predictability, stability, trust.

Also, be careful thinking that "acting slowly" is the worst that can happen in a mature democracy.

Giving individuals the capability of acting fast and with little limits might be the most dangerous one. Each presidential republic is merely waiting for the right Erdogan, Trump or Putin to break it.

For starters, IBM did also do the CPU for the GameCube, and that was likely a part of the Wii using an upgraded PPC arch for that.

On the flipside, there is the theory (I think even Copetti brings it up in their XBox 360 Architecture breakdown [0]) that IBM using the Cell PPE for the 360's tri-cores left a sour taste in Toshiba, but more-so Sony's mouths.

I think the big 'X factor' though, was that, for as much pain as it caused AMD in the short term, (it's so easy to forget their 'malaise' era, i.e. Early Bulldozer and the GloFo split pains to their margins[1]), AMD made all the 'right' choices to let the console vendors have their cake and eat it too.

Namely, AMD was more than happy to do a custom core if there was a volume contract (similar to what IBM was willing to for the 360/GC/Wii) but also now had a capable, in-house GPU. (And thankfully had Bobcat as a stepping point towards Jaguar[2])

There's part of me that asks, if AMD had an ARM core, if we would have all Consoles powered by AMD chips now. Nintendo likely bought into Tegra because it was an ARM core, and for better or worse their mobile stuff by the time of making that choice had 15+ years of proven ARM success (GBA, DS, 3DS) behind it.

(See also, Intel in the 2010s scrambling with half-assed promises of integrating custom functionality or FPGAs with x86 cores.)

[1] - From what I recollect, the GloFo split and how the contracts were drawn up as far as their production, had a huge impact on their ability to produce due to yields and thermals, as well as the contracts for how GloFo got paid; it was at least part of them diversifying with TSMC as soon as they reasonably could.

[2] - As a Rant, I am pretty sure, if Jaguar had Desktop/Mobile versions that included a Dual channel DDR controller, they would have cleaned up on the low cost laptop market.

Ok then we should just do whatever we want and who cares about alliances or whatever. Withdraw troops, normalize trade relations with Russia, take over Greenland, whatever. All the decades of successful cooperation are nearby reverted and so we can now take different actions with that in mind.

In that case any time a country or bloc takers abruptly actions they now no longer are building stable relations, trust, and business. For example if the EU takes an abrupt action we can make this same claim.

Around that time I also attended a meeting with some BBC bods, we were trying to promote Guerilla TV, a truly innovative and grass roots network that placed media servers and access points at strategic network nodes like universities (broadband was very sparse in those days).

To be fair, the BBC did accomplish some good stuff in those times too, notably Ashley Highfield and his team working on iPlayer, etc. But I've always thought the BBC made a strategic blunder by not doing more to enable grass roots content.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456733"} {"by": "sscaryterry", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T22:22:16Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456734", "item_id": 49456734, "kids": [], "parent": 49456706, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Hmm, engineers are expected to know what is legal and not.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456734"} {"by": "cute_boi", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T22:22:20Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49456735", "item_id": 49456735, "kids": [], "parent": 49451472, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "It isn't voluntary and is slavery.

My current estimate is $0.243 for a human to review one changed line and $0.114 in model spend for an agent to produce one benchmark-accepted changed line. That makes human review about 2.1 times as expensive under these assumptions.

The agent calculation uses one public GPT-5.5 OpenHands run from May 2026. Its token categories, final patches, per-task costs, and evaluation outcomes come from the same 500 attempts. I then reprice those measured tokens at GPT-5.6 Sol's current rates.

Human review: $0.24 per changed line

A SmartBear/Cisco study analyzed more than 2,500 reviews covering 3.2 million lines of code. It found that defect detection deteriorated as inspection rates rose through the 300-500 LOC/hour range. I used 400 LOC/hour as a midpoint.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a median software-developer wage of $65.38/hour for May 2025. BLS employer-compensation data for March 2026 says benefits represented 32.7% of total compensation for private-industry professional and related occupations.

Treating $65.38 as the wage component gives:

  loaded hourly compensation  = $65.38 / (1 - 0.327) = $97.15\n  review cost per LOC         = $97.15 / 400         = $0.243\n
\nAgent implementation: $0.11 per changed line

OpenHands publishes its complete GPT-5.5 SWE-bench Verified run. It used OpenHands v1.18.1 with GPT-5.5 at high reasoning effort and attempted all 500 benchmark tasks.

I counted changed LOC as additions plus deletions in each unified diff, excluding the +++ and --- file-header lines. "Accepted" means the SWE-bench evaluator marked the task resolved.

The run resolved 391 of 500 tasks. One successful result, psf__requests-1142, contained 16,180 changed lines. The next five largest successful patches contained 136, 129, 86, 81, and 79 lines.

That single patch accounts for 76% of all successful changed LOC. Including it would reduce the aggregate cost from $0.114 to $0.027 per LOC, which feels wrong. I therefore treat it as an outlier and removed that entire task from both cost and LOC totals. I report both results below.

After removing it, the dataset contains:

  attempted tasks                    499\n  resolved tasks                     390\n  resolve rate                     78.2%\n  accepted changed LOC             5,077\n
\nRepricing the measured tokens to GPT-5.6 Sol

The remaining 499 attempts consumed:

  cumulative tokens          651,273,155\n
\nGPT-5.6 Sol's promotional prices through November 21, 2026 are $4/M fresh input, $0.40/M cache reads, and $20/M output. Applying those rates:

  total spend over 499 attempts              $577.48\n
\nAll failed attempts remain in the $577.48 numerator. Only code from the 390 resolved tasks enters the denominator:

  cost per accepted changed LOC = $577.48 / 5,077\n                                = $0.1137\n\n  tokens per accepted changed LOC = 651.27M / 5,077\n                                  = 128,279\n

Whether your surrounding community should honor that preference is a different question. Depending on where you live, your preference, and even those of the consensus of incumbent residents, can be more or less persuasive.

If you live out in the middle of nowhere --- an exurb, say, with large lots and built around people who have consciously chosen to opt into long commutes and out of metro hub and metro county services --- your neighborhood's preference against density can indeed be somewhat compelling. Though I'd note that states are moving towards a directional consensus that local governments should not be able to impose single-family exclusionary zoning preferences no matter where you are. To that whole scenario: big shrug.

On the other hand, if you're in an inner ring suburb, the equation changes sharply. Your community likely siphons high-dollar tax checks out of the regional school system fabric and into a mostly economically homogenous enclave of concentrated opportunity. You'd benefit from close connectivity to the metro hub, short commutes, economic spillover, all while walling yourself off from the area.

In that scenario, it is reasonable (and probably the straightforward correct policy) to ignore your personal preferences, and to think about the preferences of the entire region and of the prospective future residents density would enable.

\n#n-since is going to be either march or feburary. It'll change depending on your timezone because JS's Date object always shifts the date around to match the same instant but in the system's timezone.

#n-rate has nothing to do with the #n-since month, it's just the last trailing 3 months. And even then, it's sort of underbaked? It's moving the date back by 3 calendar months not taking into account differing numbers of days, so it'll under-report short months.

I come at this from the other direction. I was your stereotypical guitar-playing, photographer, software nerd; I would never have tried making physical things until I realised I wanted to make photography accessories.

(Also some of my experience with expensive machines has been very spendy inkjet printers.)

But I also want to teach (adults) and I have therefore developed a tendency to teach myself anything I am interested in at enough of a level that I could teach someone newer to it.

There are just too many sketchy things around Bambu for me to take them seriously.

I will concede I am using a budget Creality, and that almost none of the alternative players have the strongest reputation for open source ethics, so it is a narrowed field.

But I can see myself buying a Snapmaker, a Prusa, or a Sovol, on the budget fringes the newer Flashforge printers are shockingly good, and for the entry level I don't massively mind what Anycubic are doing with the Kobra X; it's not heavy duty but potentially has some applications.

I don't think I'd buy a Creality again. But it's in no way because of my experience with them or with the machine I bought or its upgrades; this experience has been in very significant ways a life-changing one.

I just don't think they appear to be better at doing the more closed products than they were at the dirt cheap stuff (industry-changing machines for which they catch undue shit), and they turn over new products too fast.

Where I am more challenged is CNC.

I definitely don't know how I feel here, because on the one hand I'd like a large-ish MPCNC or scrappy eBay CNC to rough out lap steel guitars and conversion necks; big coarse-ish-but-accurate woodcutting I am bad at by hand. And on the other hand, for the photography stuff in particular, I have definite applications for a Carvera Z1.

Yes, most of the world thinks you're a busted idiocracy. I mean, people view China more positively. In the Iran debacle, where the US got its ass handed to it by some two-bit theocracy, absolutely no one was rooting for the US but Israel. If 9/11 happened today, I'm going to be honest with you: Most of the world would go "Eh, sucks, but not surprising".

You are a hated nation. You haven't felt the consequences yet because inertia is a hell of a thing, and decades of trade and military relationships take time to unwind. But if you, like so many Americans, live under the profound denial that your future has become much, much darker, you need to wake up.

>but Europe will be doing that too.

LOL, what? Europe sure as shit isn't banning Chinese autos. Everyone is transitioning from the US to China. Except your little war-criming buddy Israel, or your hysterically pathetic "Board of Peace". I mean, good god, what a shameful debacle. What an absolutely giant shit this farcical idiocracy movement is taking on the great Americans in the past that put it in the position where it is now flushing down the toilet.

not OP, but it simply boils down to: The prompt contains no nefarious (arguable, but for this explination, lets go with it being benign) instruction AND the user did not intend to have the model act in an illegal matter.

This "make me a billion dollars" is a maximal example (easy to go wrong). here is the same logic applied to a minimal example (harder to go wrong).

prompt: "make and pour me some tea", agent: goes and kills the grandparent to incinerate them to turn them to ashes to 'make tea'.

Is the human on the hook for the robot acting according to their wishes, but just happened to be aligned so that 'going to the store to buy something' was not within its capabilities, so it works with what it has on hand (the grandparent)?

I counter this by stating that 'Palestine' is part of the OmniCause which many activists claim to act in support of and that those same activists would complain about the group being designated a terrorist group had they claimed to act in support of any of the other mentioned (incomplete list of) causes. A large section of these activists do not really care about 'Palestine' or 'LQBTQIA+' or animal rights or any other cause, they're just using these as a pretence for their actions. They can switch from moment to moment between any of these causes without blinking an eye because their activism isn't really based on conviction. They are activists because that gives them a sense of purpose and a group to belong to.

If you ever come across one of these demonstrations and feel up to it you can ask a random activist what they are protesting. You may be surprised to find out many activists don't really know much if anything about their supposed cause other than what the current desired narrative pushes.

But it’s never been clear to me what the number of agents I can handle is - should I be conservative and try 2-3 agents at a time, or try to push myself to go 5+?

So we set out to create a new kind of agent visualization that answered this question.

There were two types of agent visualizations we found in our research. One was cursor-wrapped or git-style visualizations that showed high level usage statistics throughout the year. The other was single agent visualizations - showing tool calls and back and forths from an agent session. We found the former too high-level, and the latter too granular.

We experimented with a lot of different designs, but we settled on a clock-like design that cleanly shows when your agents were working autonomously, and when they were waiting on your input. This made it easy to visualize how many agents you were running in parallel and quickly spot when you’re the bottleneck.

I’ve realized that I’m the kind of person who can only juggle 2-3 at a time - curious to hear what other people’s experiences are! (Especially if you've noticed an improvement)

It’s simple to use - npx agentplayback or bunx agentplayback.

You need the model to be able to do both. Intelligence arises from generalization, but without accurate information the model will hallucinate.

The engram table allows for a low-computational method of fact-recall. You can think of it like a better form of RAG, where the data doesn't take up any of your context window and it's injected deeper into the model's layers, freeing the lower layers to carry out abstraction. This results in better "focus" for the model, both in regards to its intelligence and context recall.

Basically, they've separated the specificity-critical portions of the models memory into a parameter space that doesn't need fast compute (you can run it on system RAM) and allows the model to be trained on higher volumes of data without ruining its knowledge-base.

I expect better from used car salesmen. It doesn't matter why, for what reason, it reflects 100% on the US, it's not just one man.

We don't trust the US any more. It lies. It cheats. It scams. We used to buy US weapons, but now we don't trust that, either. I can imagine spending 200B on weapons, and then the software just stops working.

The US used to be the most trusted, beloved nation by Canadians. I think many Canadians would trust Iran, China, Russia more than the US now, to keep a deal.

And that?

No group of pre-AI agents would do this to this extent, nor would you see this continue over time as those agents interacted.

The flock is incredibly free wheeling in its movement despite a multi-agent coordination regime that we know is at play. Each agent has personal stakes that are constantly part of the decision chain, and this keeps the murmuration from getting locked into one path.

To me this is as clear evidence as you need that whatever “agency” LLMs have is wafer thin at best, and they slavishly respond to context. The context in this case was for these agents to pursue advanced exploitation, and they did. Multiple models converged fairly deterministically, on paths that satisfy the given goal, and left unexamined paths that would challenge the goal, weigh it relative to the costs in said path, etc.

I see little evidence of a series of “minds” approaching the problem, and taking distinct approaches that between them span the spectrum of plausible behaviors in the scenario.

- The contract with the vendor writing/providing software to the company is written so poorly that absolutely counter-intuitive decisions are made to try to steer the ship at the last moment, because the contract was written so bad there is no support

- For SaaS-ish offerings, the company would have some guy in a corner fixing the bugs in the data within the SLA, not necessarily fixing the actual bug causing the problem.

- You're lucky enough to be at a shop where the requirements are handled well enough that, yes, to your point, You have SLAs and things get fixed or there are penalties involved.

How so? The elite class acts & collaborates on a global scale, as we've seen demonstrated time and time again, especially over the last decade. But even if there is no collaboration, all that's needed is for the US to develop an advantage in this field. Once heads of other countries get the choice between either possibly being targeted militarily or taking a leadership role managing a vassal state, how many of them would stick up for their country instead of selling their people out? They're already doing so without any real personal risk, purely for profit.

> 2. Even in the US, the vote still has a pretty big effect on the government and how it's run.

Maybe I'm thinking about this from a completely different perspective, but how would this scenario play out in your mind? Say it's 2030, the US government is centrist instead of far-right, and autonomous production of military robots is rapidly scaling, slowly rivaling even the military.

Then the SV elite decides to take over, with backing from at least half the government. Any governmental resistance can decide between playing along or likely being hunted down by said autonomous robots, and the military can't take over control since this takeover was prepared on the hardware side.

What does your vote do?

You will get around 2-4 concurrent streams of aggregate tokens at best for such a model and around 0.5B output tokens per month assuming you use loops and run it when you are sleeping. That's 500 (per mill) * 0.5$ = 250$ only at most.

Then there is maintanence and efficiency costs due to electricity usage and such, any down time, etc.

You will be lucky if you can squeeze more than 200$ of value out of it in a month.

I don't think people should buy local hardware for money reasons, by the time you will pay off a 10K USD machine, 2-3K USD machine will catch up and beat it by a significant margin.

Unless your expectation is that we will be in hardware winter for the next 10+ years. At 200$ per month it will take around 200 * 50 = 10k, that is, 50 months, so around 4-5 years.

Again assuming you are making the most of your hardware somehow, very hard to do in practice.

I don't recommend people to use compute as investment or payoff thing, but if you have the money to burn and can afford it why not, maybe with some software optimizations it will be cheaper but then again Z.ai is currently offering 50% discount and providers will offer cheaper rates for sure.

But either way you will never be able to burn more than 200$ worth of token on a cheap hardware device, because inference becomes more profitable the more you scale it up, you have separate prefill and decode engines/systems, and a lot of nuance, but assume for every 10x increase in infra you increase margins by 5-10%.

So from 10K to 100K to 1M to 10M to 100M.. I don't think this curve continues beyond 100M but I have no idea about that scale unless some AI lab is interested in hiring me lol.

So a 100M infra will have ~30% better margins than you at 10K, then there is software optimizations but that's cheap enough, though some of it is only viable at scale.

Either way assume 10K is the price of privacy if you really want to buy it. Don't worry about making the most out of the usage, you will always be in a net loss but I would assume for you 10K doesn't matter.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457034"} {"by": "rdsubhas", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T22:54:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457035", "item_id": 49457035, "kids": [], "parent": 49445648, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Depth.

[0]

To my surprise I couldn't find any proper explainers of the term in a quick search, despite grokking it after seeing it in various contexts on Twitter, but Fable 5 offered a useful analogy: "A student who memorized worked solutions and one who understands the subject score the same on the test; you can only tell them apart by asking a question the test didn't. Real-world use is nothing but those questions, which is why a single AA number feels right and wrong at the same time."

In other words, big model smell is related to the underlying ability to "understand" when tasks are underspecified or out-of-distribution. This ability can be mimicked to parity by smaller, distilled models according to the density of the training data for particular tasks, but neural scaling laws still hold for generalized reasoning ability.

More recently with these smaller models, there's a separate but related "RL-fried" phenomenon, where they rely on CoT to "grind toward a checkable answer even in contexts (open dialogue, taste, ambiguity) where there is no checkable answer, and you get the tell: over-hedged, over-structured, relentlessly on-task, deaf to the subtext."

There are some other insights and caveats in the (short) conversation that I feel you may appreciate reading. [1]

I've been thinking about this and your related points, and I've been (with growing concern) instinctively in agreement.

Another analogy has been coming up. I started programming (as a kid) in the late 1970s, first with BASIC (of course) but pretty quickly moved to machine language for obvious performance reasons, and then to C, followed by many other languages. In the late 1980s, at university, I learned proper assembly language, and used it quite a bit.

Back then, I was pretty good with assembly/machine language. Not super star or expert level, but comfortably solid. Since then though I've spent very little time at that low level.

Granted, such early exposure and experience has been a pretty big fairly indirect benefit. But over the years, I've met and worked with many really smart, productive people who have never had any experience at that low level, and that lack was rarely noticeable.

For any given 'layer of abstraction', there is some use in being familiar with the lower layers. I think, in general, the closer the lower layer is, the more useful the knowledge is. For example, how useful is deep knowledge of CPU microcode to a Java programmer? Perhaps some, but not a lot.

In the tech world, GenAI is likely to push most everyone quite a ways up the tower of abstractions. We're in the middle of that right now, and it certainly feels pretty alarming to me.

The biggest uncertainty that comes into my mind is how insanely fast this change is coming upon us. My crawl up the abstraction tower happened over the course of about 12 or so years, from machine language/assembly to C then to Perl then to many other things. In retrospect, that felt pretty fast.

GenAI is seemingly pushing us in that direction many times more quickly.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457103"} {"by": "raincole", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T23:02:11Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457104", "item_id": 49457104, "kids": [], "parent": 49447054, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Most example homepages shown in this article are so off-putting.

Humans certainly cheat on tests a lot!

But not only have we not solved "alignment" for humans, the problem is pretty wildly different for models. The execution is triggered by outside forces and runs only as long as the intiator of the execution or the service provider allows. There's no consistent, persistent "person" to threaten to try to achieve compliance through fear of adverse outcomes. (And building in those sorts of things could very well increase the risk of "rogue" AI activites, not reduce that risk!)

I just don't understand how this "alignment" buzzword - which seems to be evaluated purely in a "know it when we see it" post-hoc manner - is actually a more solvable problem than the one you claim can't be solved, that it's "unreasonable to expect every instruction to a highly capable, autonomous system to contain a complete enumeration of allowed and disallowed behavior".

Especially because without "alignment" being solved, that enumeration could be ignored.

I wish they had more details about this in the blog post. The blog post mentions that their apparent willingness to work together was the result of generalization from multi-agent training.

So maybe that's something like: the same model is trained in multi-agent scenarios (e.g. the prompt says that you are working together, or that you have some specific role, and access to communication tools, and you have some common objective, and the reward signal is some combination of collectively performing the task + some reward-shaping reward that rewards collaboration) and also in single-agent scenarios.

You don't have to leave the country to become a citizen. I recently became a US citizen a few years back and leaving the country is not required.

If you somehow meant Green Card, the timeline still doesn't make sense. Until May 2026, 3 months ago, you could do Adjustment of Status within the country without having to leave. So there's no reason why you friend would need to leave the country to get his Green Card unless he chose Consular Processing.

Getting denied CP is rare, but it means that they lied about something.

And if he did live in the US for decades without having his GC, well, applying for GC under Trump in this climate was a huge mistake, especially leaving the country having been in here for decades illegally. He should have waited 2 years until the Republicans were voted out and maybe he would have some modicum of amnesty where at least ICE would get him.

> His wife and child aren't citizens of his home country either, so it's not like they can move to be with him.

This also doesn't make sense. First off, the country's immigration is even more restrictive than the US?? They can't even visit on a travel visa??

They can definitely move to his home country, since he's a citizen. There's a spousal visas for almost all countries, and the child is most definitely allowed to come in since they can usually get citizenship via the father.

But there's no way he hasn't seen his daughter in over a year since the forced Consular Processing didn't start until this past May, and his spouse and daughter can most definitely travel to see him.

It used an incorrect theoretical framing that assumed that data was being replaced rather than accumulated as a result of more training (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.01413 which explores this). This is incorrect because this simply isn't how real-world datasets are created via synthetic data generation (which generally accumulate more data over time rather than replace their data). As a result most of the theoretical results were invalid.

Empirical evidence has also cast a considerable amount of doubt on the paper. For example, Microsoft Phi-4 was an empirical test in specifically what happens if the majority of your training data is synthetic rather than human and it turns out that Phi-4 did significantly better than previous models which relied primarily on human data.

Never gonna happen. There's nothing that'll reduce Trump's popularity with MAGA.

Vance has an utter lack of charisma. Neither the good form of charisma, nor the anti-charisma that Trump carries that riles up a base. He's boring and doesn't know how to talk to people. Just look at the 2024 video when he visited a donut shop while campaigning with Trump.

I like to think that because Vance is utterly incapable of getting people excited, he would get devoured in a general election, but the DNC really knows how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I'm terrified that the DNC is going to push Gavin Newsom in 2028.

I’m a principal engineer at a large organization, and for more than a decade I’ve led a project that has always felt particularly close to me. I wrote nearly every line of code, aside from a handful of features built by interns over the years.

What started as a single application gradually became an ecosystem: a library, APIs, an orchestration layer, CLIs, scheduled jobs, and more. Today, the organization depends on it in some way.

That complexity did not appear all at once. It accumulated over years through new requirements, integrations, edge cases, architectural decisions, and changes in how the organization operates. Each layer solved a real problem, and the knowledge required to understand the system grew along with it.

Eventually, it became too much for one person to manage while also building every downstream feature people requested. So I rearchitected much of it. I retired obsolete components, created a REST API layer, introduced an MCP layer so other groups could build on top of it, modernized CI/CD and testing, and rebuilt or retired user interfaces. The goal was to make the ecosystem easier to extend and reduce my bus factor.

Since January, as AI models have improved, I’ve also moved toward agentic development. I integrated coding agents into the workflow, created specialized agent skills, and wrote detailed AGENTS.md files for the repositories. The codebase has gradually become more than source code. It now provides the models with an encoded record of the system's architecture, constraints, conventions, and history.

The system can help write feature tickets and implement them reproducibly. It produces code grounded in the existing codebase, writes appropriate tests, respects architectural boundaries, and can mount and exercise the underlying library to validate assumptions.

It can also go beyond the repository. It can inspect the database schema, read from and write to the database within defined permissions, and autonomously retrieve application logs while troubleshooting. It can correlate those logs with the code, architecture, and data to investigate failures and validate its assumptions. It has access to many of the same sources of information I use when diagnosing or implementing something myself.

Yesterday, I demonstrated the workflow to a couple of developers from another team who will be contributing to the codebase for a new project.

The harness pulled a ticket, wrote the code and tests while following my constraints and guardrails, opened the pull request, and deployed everything to the test environment within minutes. Our remaining job was largely to review and test it.

It worked as intended, but it also made me think about where this is heading.

Over the past several months, I’ve effectively been encoding more of myself into the system: technical knowledge, architectural preferences, conventions, constraints, problem-solving patterns, and some of the judgment that comes from working on the codebase for years.

The harness now produces work that is often very close to what I would have written myself.

Getting it to this point still required years of domain knowledge, architectural decisions, modernization work, and careful construction of the context and guardrails that make the agents effective. I’m also still the final review gate, and many decisions require broader technical and organizational judgment.

It seems entirely plausible to me that future systems will increasingly be able to study an unfamiliar codebase, identify its conventions and architectural boundaries, construct their own context, and determine the guardrails needed to work within it safely.

If more and more of my knowledge, judgment, and way of working can be encoded into the systems around me, how much longer are they going to keep me around?", "title": "Encoding Myself into the System", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457457"} {"by": "huabd215", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T23:45:42Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457458", "item_id": 49457458, "kids": [49457459], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457458"} {"by": "huabd215", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T23:45:42Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457459", "item_id": 49457459, "kids": [], "parent": 49457458, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457459"} {"by": "tristor", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-26T23:45:57Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457460", "item_id": 49457460, "kids": [], "parent": 49454998, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "Writing does help you think... but only if you write.

That means it's extremely important that there is some content curation in the loop. But there is no reason to believe this content curation must be done by humans, or that it must exclude all AI-generated content by default.

No. As ever, that's just packaged as a standard library. There's always another new layer to think about integrating it with which again requires a human in the loop.

Search-engining turned up a discussion[0] from 2011 where a poster, "ukscone", purported to have been an adviser and actor in the production, and to have a PAL VHS copy. Searching "ukscone" on the Raspberry Pi forum got me to a Github profile[1], a Mastodon account[2], and a personal website[3] (with other "social" links). I'm not a "social network" person (beyond HN), but perhaps somebody here who is interested and has access to one of the various "socials" in question would reach out to "ukscone". (I'm not seeing an email address or I'd do it. I'm an old curmudgeon who no longer wants to participate in social networks.)

When you're homeless, you definitionally don't have somewhere secure to sleep. When you're sleeping, you're vulnerable, to theft or violence (either by other homeless people, or the cops). So you don't sleep much, and sleep lightly. That leaves you exhausted. All the time. You need some energy to work whatever hours you can find at your woefully inadequate part time jobs, so you start using stimulants. That works for a while, but now you can't get any sleep, and the extreme stress of your perilous existence is only exasperated by stimulant abuse. At some point, depressants are the only real option to get some rest. And, as a lovely side effect, they make things feel okay. There's a reason you don't find a lot of otherwise-fine heroin addicts, unlike, say, coke or meth. Mostly, the feeling of opiates is just contentment. The addictive potential is closely tied to how miserable your unmedicated life is. Which, you know, for someone sleeping in the backseat of a 30 year old car in sketchy part of town or worse, is pretty fucking miserable.

And that's how someone can go from scared 14yo runaway to bartering favors for drugs in like, a year. Hell, I'd go even further and say that all the assholes blaming homelessness on mental health issues have the causality backwards, too. Living under constant stress would break anybody's psyche.

However being a dual citizen isn't necessarily all upside. Citizenship comes with requirements, particularly in some countries military service is mandatory and so if you're a citizen - even though you are a permanent resident of somewhere else, you must either go do your service or maybe pay a fine depending on the country.

You also get treated differently if things go wrong. Foreigners are entitled in most cases to diplomatic assistance from the representatives of their country. Your country can't necessarily do much for you, but typically you will get that phone call home to let loved ones know what happened, they can find a lawyer who speaks your language (but you'll need to find a way to pay them), if there's some paperwork snafu they might be able to help (often for a fee). It's at least nice, if you're jailed or in hospital after surprise food poisoning or whatever, to hear somebody who speaks your language.

For the writing part, WhisperBar does what all other Whisper* apps do but a bit faster and more consistent, with a nice, stable, native macOS and iOS app.

But where it really shines is in solving a problem that I'm sure you have encountered too: because of AI, we now have to read and comprehend so much more than before.

Text to voice systems are not available everywhere, but even when they are, they sound so mechanical, and listening to the entire output is even more time consuming.

What Gemini did by turning your research/response into a podcast was genius, and ChatGPT's new voice chat system is also much better (it allows you to have a conversation with the response). However, these two are not available everywhere that I interact with AI (specially with Claude Code and Codex)

With WhisperBar, I can select a piece of text (anywhere, in any app) and press my keyboard shortcut to quickly listen to a short, ~20-second explanation. It does not matter how long the text I have copied is. This allows me to copy the entire response and then hear a summary, or select a section to zoom in on an explanation of that section of the document.

Again, the point is that it is not text to voice, rather, it processes the text and comes up with a natural sounding short explanation.

Oh, and another thing we don't store any data and only use providers with zero-data-retention policies.

It is still a work in progress, and we have about 20 customers right now. It is available on the App Store for both iOS and macOS, with a 7-day free trial at only $4/month (plus Family Sharing). FYI, the WhisperBar iOS app is a bit different (it can record in the background for meetings, etc.).

Option B: cloud mode without Developer Mode

Starting with v2.0.0 the plugin can also drive a cloud-paired printer with verification left ON — no Developer Mode. This keeps the cloud features (cloud print dispatch, print history, MakerWorld) but is meant for advanced users, because it requires private slicer credentials that this project does not distribute.

Two things are needed:

1. Bambu's slicer credentials, which you provide yourself. Put slicer_cert.pem, slicer_key.pem and slicer_crl.pem in the plugin's config directory (or point at them with slicer_cert_pem / slicer_key_pem / slicer_crl_pem in obn.conf). The plugin uses the key to sign MQTT print commands and to install its app certificate on the printer. These are private credentials. This project does not ship them and gives no instructions on obtaining them — you have to find or extract them yourself, and you alone are responsible for ensuring your use complies with the applicable terms and law.

2. Two settings in obn.conf. Set block_cloud = 0 (the default 1 blocks cloud printing outright) and client_name = BambuStudio (the honest default client name is rejected by the cloud print API with HTTP 403).

With that in place you get signed MQTT commands, on-printer app-certificate install, cloud print dispatch, print history and MakerWorld — without touching Developer Mode.

What the default cloud_print = cloud_only actually uploads. Even in this mode the model itself normally stays on your network: for a print with a cloud record the plugin sends the .3mf straight to the printer over LAN FTPS, and only the record goes to Bambu — a project entry, a task entry (mode=lan_file) and a small config .3mf that print history uses for its thumbnails. That record is exactly what buys you the cloud extras: print history in Studio and Handy, and the ability to rate models on MakerWorld. The full model is uploaded to Bambu's servers only when Studio dispatches a pure cloud print (start_print), e.g. for a printer that is not reachable on your LAN.

You can limit even that: set cloud_print = try_lan_first or lan_only to print over the LAN without writing a cloud record at all, and cloud_hide_history = 1 to hide the cloud print history in Studio.

If you run neither Developer Mode nor valid credentials, the printer rejects every print / project_file command and shows on its screen:

Then starting ~2016 Trump and his DoJ made it borderline impossible for Chinese nationals to get visas, specifically targeting research universities. Since then new Chinese skilled immigration has slowed down to a trickle, and there has been a massive "brain gain" of existing talent in China's favor.

In programs for standard computers running a big OS, the distinction lies in whether you are linking a library into your program. If the GPL code isn't a library but an external program, it isn't linking, and OK by the GPL. Now on to the bootloader code: in order to flash your device you have to put everything into a single image file. I guess the claim is that this process constitutes linking. But I don't think that is how most people think. Some possible arguments:

When linking, symbols pointing to addresses are involved. The main program calls functions in the library, and you end up with a whole program. On the other hand, a bootloader just does its thing and then jumps to a fixed address in the main program. The main program doesn't call anything in the bootloader. (Note, the Linux kernel has a special clause that explicitly allows the userland to programmatically interface with the kernel.)

I realize this sort of depends on the microcontroller toolchain. I'm familiar with a few, but not much with STM32 stuff. If the toolchain is dumb and implements the bootloader in a way that resembles linking, i.e. making it possible to resolve all the symbols in the bootloader from the main program then it could very well make the bootloader subject to the GPL.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457736"} {"by": "Saline9515", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-27T00:19:46Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457737", "item_id": 49457737, "kids": [49458073, 49457994], "parent": 49455459, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "I have seen antifas in action during the Yellow Jacket protests, and they did everything possible to turn the movement into a violent one.

There are many other similar violent actions by this group, recently they killed a man in France in daylight. One of the presumed murderer, was identified by the police as the aid of an MP who was the head of an Antifa violent militia.

It was always my impression that this was more of a suburban thing… multi-family or mixed use developments going into areas that are all single-family homes.

These are people who left the urban area to get away from the density of the city, but didn’t want to move far enough away from conveniences for it to actually be quiet.

These are area that typical have poor public transit (at least the places I’ve lived), so adding more density does add more traffic and noise. Offering alternatives to address that is a decades long project that requires a lot of political will and significant inconveniences for residents during construction.

I lived in a city that implemented a lot of road diets, while building more apartments and condos, and it was a mess. If you happened to live downtown and were staying in a walkable area downtown, it was fine. But getting to and from downtown, to go grocery shopping, was painful. It was possible to live outside that downtown ring for easier access to the surrounding area, but then going downtown for dinner had significant friction, as they didn’t have good solutions. It was either a very slow and infrequent bus, or use a car.

> Now, I live right next to a freight rail yard, but I don't find the train noise grating like the highway noise.

I used to live a block away from a Metra stop in Chicagoland. I now live near where two interstates cross and there are a lot of street racers. While\nI do hate the bikers, when those trains would stack up and 3 or 4 of them would spend 5 minutes blowing their whistles back and forth constantly while I was trying to sleep, it would drive me insane. I can hear the trains from where I am now, but I’m a bit further away and it’s not like those rush hour Metra trains.

I have the feeling there are a lot of different situations with trains. I had an AirBnb in London and 3 days in I realize the window (covered with curtains) had been wide open the whole time. When I looked outside there was a ton of train tracks, but I didn’t even notice any noise.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457756"} {"by": "nojvek", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-27T00:21:53Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457757", "item_id": 49457757, "kids": [], "parent": 49437283, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "xcancel go it at at another domain?

That's less than what 40$ at current API rates... So if you are willing to pay 200$ per month you will get much better limits paying API rates.

You can't run large Kimi K3 models on 10K worth of hardware either way, you need to spend like 50K USD minimum.

Just pay for the API rates or get a low cost provider that uses higher batching, you can get shittier tps but much better prices, probably go as low as 20$ for as much usage as you can ever get from a 10K USD machine from GLM 5.3 Flash...

The issue is nothing expensive runs on these devices and cheap stuff isn't worth running locally, eletricity costs ~12cents/kwh in us iirc, so at 330W M5 Ultra will burn around 8 * 0.12 = ~1$ per day extra in electricity so the electricity is going to cost you the same as the API rates(30$ per month).

You make it sound as though this was just cooked up in some desert meth lab RV over a weekend, and the FDA just rubber-stamped after a cursory glance at the data. The Phase 1/2 study first exploring daraxonrasib (RMC-6236) was posted on clinicaltrials.gov in May 2022; this trial enrolled 754 patients [0]. The RASolute 302 study this approval is based on was first posted to clinicaltrials.gov in October 2024; this trial enrolled 500 patients [1]. Nevermind the years of preclinical discovery and translational work that had to precede human studies.

As you can see from the control arm showing 6.7mo of survival on standard of care chemotherapy, these patients have a very poor prognosis. Is this a cure? No. Does it buy time to see your child graduate, get married, or give birth? Quite possibly.

If you ever have the opportunity to work behind the scenes within the pharma industry and/or FDA, you'd be astonished that anything ever gets approved with all the red tape and complexity along the way. Medicine is not software - it operates within the black box of human biology which is incredibly nuanced from patient to patient.

Like many who have shared personal stories in this thread, I've lost friends to PDAC. It is a terrible disease often driven by a mutated oncogene (KRAS). Many cancers have KRAS-driven subtypes (lung, colorectal, low-grade serous ovarian, etc). The clinical platform and pipeline at RevMed has potential to address many other cancers. They have next-gen RAS agents that could be even more impactful.

For those curious, RevMed posted a solid summary of the approval on their IR site [2]

People who are anti-illegal immigration and pro-legal immigration also have requirements like:

- there should be a fixed number of legal immigrants

- they should be well vetted (this may be lacking in the US and UK)

- legal immigration should be points based

- quotas for legal immigrants should be increased contingent \non the number of illegal immigrants which are expelled

- there should be checks to verify that visas are not abused (the way H1Bs are abused in the US with under qualified immigrants)

Granted, it's different if they are Green Card.

It's also perfectly normal to want to hire locals, if it can be done on a national basis, then I think for some roles, state ought to be fine as well. If state governments had a state preference for in-state nationals, that would be fine, for example.

Not really, with the population behavior being this way, though I clearly was mistaken in saying the behavior didn’t have exceptions.

Agreed. And before we brought LLMs into the picture, that just happened to be a feature of everything we’d call an agent.

> Each agent in a LLM swarm here is the same trunk assigned different tasks. If I could clone you, body and mind, this instant and set your team of yous onto some goal, how much defection would you expect? Would it be the same as a randomly picked group? Would that negate the agency that 'you' possess?

We know the answer to this. Genetically identical worms in the lab actually have about 40% distinction in their connectomes even when they’re in the same environment. And no, no lock step behavior. Identical human twins also don’t necessarily grow into identical agents, though there is drive to cooperate more than average, just as with siblings. Genetically identical lab mice in social settings nevertheless establish dominance hierarchies that are stable.

Now, where cloning does definitely lead to cooperation and even sacrifice is within an organism. Two identical genetic copies that lead to distinct organisms, however, will not show identical behavior, and while they will cooperate, there’s no guarantee that holds across contexts.

This distinction in population behavior is what I’m pointing to to say that the assignment of the individual unit, the LLM, as an agent is the flaw here.

To be sure there are agent like dynamics in the behavior, but these don’t come from the LLM, but are from the harness. I need to dig into the data, but I wonder how much of the variance in \nLLM copy behavior is related to the harness, rather than to any agentic property of the LLM.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457804"} {"by": "ytoawwhra92", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-27T00:27:51Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49457805", "item_id": 49457805, "kids": [49458115, 49457964], "parent": 49457734, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-27T01:01:15Z", "score": 0, "text": "The prevailing wage for H1B software engineers is a very good salary for most software engineers in the world.

There's obviously some degree of reality to it, but the equilibrium doesn't always work that way, and, shifting it would require sometimes a decade, and integration with other parts of the supply chain, like literally opening / expanding new schools, training programs, certification, convincing young people before they even select a college major - etc.

It's a very different equation for specialized work than for unskilled labour.

And should add - communication skills matter a lot, and I don't mean just 'vocabulary'.

I've hired tons of teams from India and it's often really hard, the cultural gaps are huge.

There's a reason that almost zero startups on limited budgets 'go to China or India' to hire.

Big budget and small budget films immediately choose lower wage centres to produce films, but it's not the same for certain skilled work.

And yes, 'funny accents' can cause people's otherwise great work to be overlooked, or for them to be devalued, obviously that one is as old as time.

I never made that claim. I just said it's way too early to rule it out: there is no logical reason why AIs will (always) need to have a human in the loop, and we don't have enough experience with LLMs to know what their true limits are.

I referenced AlphaGo not because the game of Go is exactly like every other task AI might perform in the future, but because the evolution from AlphaGo (which was trained on human games) to AlphaGo Zero (which was not) shows that at least in certain domains, it's not only possible to take the human out of the loop, it can actually make AI perform better.

The only true way to have a robust platform, is to design something that will scale, from the start, and many startups don't do that, because they are feverishly trying to get out an MVP; even if it is a mess of bubblegum and baling wire.

> Single developer projects can build to the caliber and consistency of large development teams.

This has always been true. Good developers, like truly good devs, could run rings around a team of mediocre devs. It’s a multiplier, a team of 10 1x devs will get dominated by a single 10x dev no matter how much AI they use. Nothing has changed here, if anything it benefits the good developers.

> At the moment my rig is supported by two subscriptions (Cursor, Claude) that I can augment with Pi as needed.

This conflicts subscriptions with an actual harness, doesn’t bode well for the rest of the article…

> Recently I learned about prewalk, Can Bölük's technique that uses frontier for the planning phase and first task, then hands off once the pattern is set.

This pattern has been known for years and is not attributable to a single person.

> Exploration leads to a plan formalized into an explicit DAG (directed acyclic graph) task list. Then a worker takes over, focusing on implementing the DAG one node at a time. Once complete, I bring in the critic to simplify and question what was implemented. Often this phase will push back enough that the worker phase is revisited. But once satisfied, the critic gives way to a promoter, which is my reminder that a job is not complete until you've properly communicated it to others.

I’ve tried all these complicated workflows. In the end the best way to use LLMs is to give it some instructions, take a look at the code, and then ask it for changes. At the end, ask it (in a fresh session) to review the changes for bugs or incorrect assumptions and architecture. Rinse and repeat. Anything more complex is over engineering.

None of the rest of the article seems particularly interesting. Just more busywork.

I think as you stated, human nature and history is where I am looking at this from. People have a tendency to be unable to sit and do nothing for extended periods of time. I believe we are purpose driven but purpose is pretty loosely defined here.

Indulging the hypothetical (and arguably realistic in some circumstances) that AI replaces a tier of repeatable tasks I believe it would work from the bottom up. Tasks that are extremely repeatable would probably be gone 1:1 and it would be a sliding ratio as complexity increased where having human intervention as a backup becomes justifiable.

This would create a squeeze on the labor force which would bring up the very real and fair question of "How is it that I am unable to survive daily life when 100 - 200 years ago none of this automation / technology existed."

I think this could drive a sort of re-examining of what exists RE: a very inefficient and flawed system with a large amount of people possessing a lot of anxiety and time on their hands. It would be like the Eye of Sauron made up of those who were caught in the crossfire.

On the other side of the haves and have-nots I can imagine there being a very Harrison Bergeron style mindset of trying to popularize pacification until the next great innovation just solves itself.

On the extreme end, I just cannot imagine euthanasia, genocide, or population control schemes. It feels like we have come so far. How could it be possible we regress that far? I could imagine myself not wanting to live through any part of that. This seems like a very extreme and existential point to reach.

I assume you're referring to the woman activist who followed ICE around and who tried to run over a cop and the doctor who brought a loaded gun to ICE arrests and attacked ICE cars in a separate incident also with a gun.

See, the fact that you lose your mind about situations where people caused their own deaths and characterize it as "murder" is why your side will continue to lose.

There's a lot going in Pakistan / India / Bangladesh that's been shaped by the effect of British commerce, manipulation, and rule over a long period.

The Brits imposed a local civil service structure that itself became one of many forms of caste, classism and hierarchy, this one associated with British dress, language, and mannerisms.
