> db engineers approve the generated migration script

yeah - this is definitely the intended flow here. We won't be recommending anyone blindly applying generated migrations.

As you mention, it is expected that you generate & review on your local development machine, check into source control, push & merge. We've also been using this internally for ~2 years now and it works great

Same, I bought Intel $INTL, and in the same order I scooped up some Amazon in $AZN, but to diversify and not have all of my eggs in one semiconductor basket, I also threw down some dough for a good chunk of AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) in $ADVM. Facebook ($FBK) is another good buy I think, going all in. I like stocks!

Hi HN! I'm excited to share ODocs with you today. I built it to solve a frustrating problem I kept encountering with AI coding assistants - they generate outdated or incompatible code because they have no idea about which framework versions your project is using or new versions and patches released.

How it works:

1. ODocs uses a CLI tool that provides latest version details of popular packages and also scans your project files (like package.json) to detect which frameworks and versions you're using. 2. It fetches the correct version-specific documentation from our open registry. 3. It runs a local server that AI coding assistants can connect to via API or MCP (Model Context Protocol). 4. When you ask for help, your AI assistant uses the right documentation for your exact versions.

Technical stack:

- Node.js CLI tool for framework detection - Hono-based API server for documentation serving - Local caching system to minimize network requests - Open documentation registry (similar to Docker Hub model)

Current status: The initial prototype works with Hono 4.7.5 (a lightweight web framework). This targeted implementation proves the concept works, but we're just getting started.

What's next: We're focusing next on adding support for:

React ecosystem (React, Next.js) TailwindCSS Common Python frameworks

This is fully open-source, and we'd love contributions to expand framework support or improve the project!

Which frameworks would you most like to see supported next? Your feedback will help guide our priorities.

It feels to me that the hypothesis of this research was somewhat "begging the question". Reasoning models are trained to spit some tokens out that increase the chance of the models spitting the right answer at the end. That is, the training process is singularly optimizing for the right answer, not the reasoning tokens.

Why would you then assume the reasoning tokens will include hints supplied in the prompt "faithfully"? The model may or may not include the hints - depending on whether the model activations believe those hints are necessary to arrive at the answer. In their experiments, they found between 20% and 40% of the time, the models included those hints. Naively, that sounds unsurprising to me.

Even in the second experiment when they trained the model to use hints, the optimization was around the answer, not the tokens. I am not surprised the models did not include the hints because they are not trained to include the hints.

That said, and in spite of me potentially coming across as an unsurprised-by-the-result reader, it is a good experiment because "now we have some experimental results" to lean into.

Kudos to Anthropic for continuing to study these models.

Literally none of this is politics, its governance. Politics is the human word for the chimplike "who gets to be the boss" games we play. No matter how well your society is running there will always be politics, put 20 people on a tropical island with no problems and 4 weeks later half of em will want to kill the other half - thats politics

It's both an interesting and tragic phenomenon that seems much broader:

Plausibly, fashion is primarily about sex, especially at the ages when humans are most sexually active. And possibly changes in fashion are really second-order effects of changes in sex:

The most shocking thing, researched and reported but I don't think people grasp the significance, is that young adults are having much less sex.

Sex is among the most fundamental human drives. People can't stop themselves, which is why IMHO it gets such attempts to restrict it, by law and custom and shame, across time and place (to varying degrees). You can be sitting there, clearly knowing you shouldn't do it, and it can be very difficult to stop. All those efforts to stop people, by cultures, religions, governments, parents, etc. have widely failed - people still have pre-marital sex, commit adultry, get drunk and screw, hire prostitutes, watch porn, etc. (I'm not judging.)

Incredibly, now something has actually managed to significantly reduce sexual activity - and among people who are perfectly free to do it. Has that happened before in history (serious question)? Where/when/who is it now happening for and not happening? Speculating on why is perilous without evidence - imho it's just disinformation. But whatever the cause(s), it's a signal of something very serious.

Wearing plainer clothes is possibly just a follow-on effect.

> We could have kept that and implemented policies that were far less painful and far more likely to increase wages.

Yeah, but we didn't, so this is what we get.

That's why, ultimately, I blame Democrats for Trump. They had many opportunities to improve things, but they chose to ignore the trouble and prioritize other stuff more amiable to their increasingly upper-class base. The root cause was their neglect of the building pressure, Trump is just the explosion. They keep claiming they're the competent and responsible ones, but they are just irresponsible in a different, more subtle way.

I upgraded the screen to a 1920x1080 IPS panel.

The argument is that if the many (maybe the majority) of systems are sending packets with a TTL of 64 and they don't experience problems on the internet, then it stands to reason that almost everywhere on the internet is reachable in less than 64 hops (personally, I'd be amazed if it any routes are actually as high as 32 hops).

If everywhere is reachable in under 64 hops, then packets sent from systems that use a TTL of 128 will arrive at the destination with a TTL still over 64 (or else they'd have been discarded for all the other systems already).

I completely disagree. It's not getting "better." It always just copied. That's all it /can/ do. How anyone expected novel outputs from this technology is beyond me.

It's highly noticeable if you do a minimal analysis, but all modern "AI" tools are just copyright thiefs. They're just there to whitewash away liability from blatantly stealing someone else's content.

There are still physical limits to computation, even if we had godlike powers to rearrange the universe as we like (Bremermann's limit, Landauer's principle, there are probably others but I'm not a computer scientist or physicist). More practically, the mass and energy we have to build and operate computers with is finite. Until we know what principles the brain actually runs on, we can't do the math to determine if its physically possible to build computers that simulate it.

That said, if we find it uses some new principle that we don't exploit in our computers, things get very exciting because then we can start trying to do that (you see a faint whisper of this in the excitement around quantum computing).

> The policies are different too, but over time we've gone from a world where there were at least some cases where the two parties had different policies for how to reach the same goals, and into a world where the parties policies are aiming to realize fundamentally different visions of the world, based on fundamentally different values.

What difference do the parties have? They are both the 'corporate party' maximizing shareholder profit at all costs including killing brown people overseas or murdering Americans at home if they cant pay for healthcare.

Leaders from both parties in US government agree that global trade needs to be rebalanced behind closed doors; I have videos of Pelosi and Schumer supporting tariffs to balance trade deficits with China specifically. For all of the talk about “reserve currency” it doesn’t really seem like sitting back and doing nothing will prevent global trade in RMB, euro, or some BRICS currency, which is increasing every year. So if we’re going to get to that state eventually anyways, might as well start preparing for it now.

For all of the whining about the previous tariffs from the first Trump term, or the TCJA, neither were repealed when democrats had the opportunity, although there were small adjustments. That should really tell you all that you need to know.

It turns out that manufacturing jobs are better for supporting a family than service jobs, hollowing out our economy so there are far less good paying manufacturing jobs turned out to be a huge mistake, originally pushed by CFR, Cato, Brookings, etc. so the only people who are doing well are the rich, because the benefits of global trade accrue almost exclusively to them (although many CPI advocates will make the argument that you’re better off now because you can own a nice cell phone even though you can’t own a house)

The public BSing goes the other way too of course. Imagine getting worked up over classified stuff on a private email server and then letting your cabinet use signal and Gmail.

> For the last 20 years at least, the leadership of the two main political parties in the US have largely invested in messaging around the values that they represent.

The largest two U.S. parties have been heavily minmaxing the propaganda they release to divide districts on the most effective issues they can convert into election wins. Their values are "get elected to office" but the propaganda can't be so straightforward because there aren't a lot of voters who are easily converted by that directness.

Voters have values; political parties and candidates have propaganda. Game theoretically the winning move is to compete on comparative advantage of an issue within a voting district; because (for example) Democratic voters are split on the death penalty it's a very useless propaganda point for the party as a whole [0]; sticking to one side or the other would lose more elections than it would win. Note that this is very different from ranking the importance of values and focusing on the most impactful to real people; the (implicit) hope is that by focusing on effective propaganda issues then some values may be preserved through the election process. In practice politicians also horse-trade for future party political capital in preference to espoused values.

One fundamental problem is that without a parliamentary style of government where coalitions are required to form a functioning legislature the usefulness of values in elections is greatly diminished. If I may say, the Republican party has done the best at shedding the illusion and explicitly transferring power to the party itself to enforce the values held by one man, which is the ultimate game-theoretically strong position for a political party. Disconnecting the ultimate value-judged outcomes of elections from the political machinations that win them has been incredibly damaging to democracy.

I really don't think so. If I paid a human artist to make the prompt in the title, and I didn't explicitly say "Indiana Jones" I would think it should be fairly obvious to the human artist that I do _not_ want Indiana Jones. If they gave me back a picture of, clearly, Indiana Jones, I would ask them why they didn't create something original.

You can’t talk politics without first overcoming tribalism, so I suggest you start there, since in the US that is sadly the state of things.

If you start by talking about which sports team is better you will also cause these reactions. But politics should not be sports. It’s harmless to support a sports team that makes bad choices. Politics has real impact on people’s lives. It’s important to have exit criteria for alignments and affiliations with groups, to the extent they’re necessary.

> What physical changes in the world do you expect afterwards?

Just like voting, it has no effect in the small. You discuss to form and exchange opinions and ideas that become part of the whole. The benefits are in the aggregates. Thus it’s important that it has some other incentive. Where I’m from it’s not very tribalist, so we get the pleasure from thinking and discussing problems even without having an expectation that it will change policy. That wouldn’t work in the US outside very specific groups that understand the rules of engagement and the point of the game. But the discussions themselves are similar in vibe to board games or puzzles, that it’s somewhat fun even though it’s entirely useless (in the small).

No, you don’t need to reach for non-materialistic views in order to conclude that we don’t have a mathematical model (in the sense that we do for an LLM) for how the human brain thinks.

We understand neuron activation, kind of, but there’s so much more going on inside the skull-neurotransmitter concentrations, hormonal signals, bundles with specialized architecture-that doesn’t neatly fit into a similar mathematical framework, but clearly contributes in a significant way to whatever we call human intelligence.

Oh. This actually looks like something I could see myself using, maybe. I thought I'd hate it, but after checking out the examples, this is pretty nice.

There are some syntax choices that aren't ones I'd have made (eg I prefer `ident: Type` and types being uppercase, I don't like `fn type identifier ()` for functions etc), but coming from C, I can see how and why it ended up like it did, and overall this looks really good. Great work!

When I was a kid, this pattern of over-purchasing video games was very rare. When you had to go to the store and buy a game, it was very uncommon for people to buy a ton of games and then never get around to playing most of them. Even when the stores had discount bins, people would usually buy just a handful at a time and then play them until boredom (or frustration) before going back to the store. The one exception I can think of is when buying those CDs that came packed with dozens of old games from years ago, e.g. shovelware, when you hardly even knew what you were getting when you got the CD.

Also today, with gaming consoles, Nintendo's platforms, and similar, I don't think the pattern of buying lots of games and then never playing most of them happens very often.

What I'm saying is this pattern has something to do with the way Steam is structured, it's not an intrinsic property of game consumers which occurs with any kind of games store.

But, Dadaism, for instance, was a far left movement. Its followers, were people that held radical or even far left views. [1]

Marxism is really a cancer that destroys everything it touches. Its final aim was always to destroy everything that is beautiful, elevated or pure about mankind, and we, as a society, have been sponsoring it with our taxpayer money that pays for the self anointed gatekeepers of intellectualism that populate a big part of our Academia - that is to say, all Academia that doesn't get judged by the outcomes of their ideas when applied in practice.

as much as i like a better 'C' language, it is hard to use them. so many things have been done in C and you find everything in the net you would ever like to use. Using a better 'C' places you on that strange island where no one hears you cry. Using C3 in a company places you in a place where only you can understand the code.

I too maintain an older thinkpad! i want to say T430 so probably not as old, maybe got in 2012 or so? In any case, I have replaced: the screen, the battery, the power button (3D printed), the hard drive, the RAM, and the entire internal fan /cooling structure, and probably some more things I've forgotten. Why? Well it's all been over the years. But 1) because you can! like this post describes. Also: it's been nice to have a windows system around that I can remote into for certain tasks that are difficult or impossible on linux, like using the adobe suite. The last time something broke (the fan) I looked up how much a used T430 costs on ebay (~$40-$50) and buying a new fan was still cheaper. So I fixed it. It's been like that every time and it's still here.

The user already has to explicitly "install" a PWA on iOS. See dfabulich's comment in this same thread for how overly complicated and convoluted that process is currently. So there's a pretty good argument that installing a PWA actually require much, much MORE intent than a native app from the app store.

Similarly, the user needs to consent to notifications (among other things) just as they do for native apps.

<< Capital knows no borders

Those statements are offered as truism ( and they do sound true enough ),but are they anything more than a hopeful assertion? I won't go into too many details, but I think it is not exactly axiomatic. It may be have been 99% accurate in the post-world war new world order, but, needless to say, that has shifted.

We can argue over whether it is a temporary pit stop or a longer term change that is likely to remain its place, but 'capital knows no borders' has its place along other otherwise useful phrases such as 'bet you bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun'. As in, sure, but it is more of an expression of our wants, not an if/then scenario.

> In this world, asking "who did you vote for" isn't a matter of tribalism, but it is a (good) proxy for asking someone "what are your values".

I strongly disagree. In this duopoly of a political system, most people on both sides are just picking the lesser of two evils. Meanwhile, we are creating an alarmingly decisive political society by choosing not to associate with those who vote differently than us. Perhaps most importantly, we lose the opportunity to actually shift the political positions of others (and ourselves) by not engaging in healthy and non-judgmental political discussions with our friends and neighbors, ultimately increasing polarization even further.

Not everyone is voting based on their values—some are simply voting their wallets or the special interests they align with. Someone who is pro-choice, pro-LGBT, and pro-immigration may very well vote Republican because they work in the US Automotive industry, and so do their friends and families and people who they care most about. It doesn’t necessarily mean their core values are different than yours, but instead maybe simply just their priorities.

1. Not all workers are fungible. Your average 30th percentile individual =/= the person progressing your biotech industry. Would they be more beneficial to the economy working in a customer service job, or in a factory?

2. It's very hard to be a powerhouse of innovation if you don't vertically integrate. China has taught us this. You can't split out the gritty part (manufacturing) from the fun part (invention) of technological innovation and win in the long run.
