Ask HN: How to find the numerical IDs of posts on Facebook's website?
by zagrebian | 2025-04-13 19:03:27+00:00
Posts on Facebook’s website can have two types of URLs:

* with tracking: facebook.com/(user)/posts/(long obfuscated hash) * without tracking: facebook.com/(user)/posts/(short numerical ID)

Here’s an example of a Facebook URL without tracking:

https://www.facebook.com/savezdodir/posts/1073504858142844/

If you go to https://www.facebook.com/savezdodir/, open that post (it’s the latest post), and then look at the URL, you will not see the numerical ID but an obfuscated hash that contains your information. So if you share that post (e.g. on Twitter) and other people click that link, Facebook will know that you brought them to Facebook.

When I’m viewing a post on Facebook’s website, how do I find that numerical ID? In other words, the non-tracking URL of that post.

Sure, go ahead and insult me instead of providing any actual facts.

Now, I've searched for the actual contributions, and indeed the actual income tax is not covered by the employer at all. The only parts of the full levied amount that are shared 50% are: pension, unemployment, health and long-term care insurance, (plus some other things that the employee doesn't have to pay).

So in the end it's about 1/3 (or under that based on tax class) of the total levied amount that gets covered by the employer. (PS. All of this for Germany, cribbed from one of those tax calculator websites)

Author here.

When I started this journey I had a hard time figuring out how open source il2cpp actually was, and it seemed to be heavily tied to unity. All the docs seemed heavily geared towards unity usage as well.

Likewise, some of my long term goals with the project involve writing code that can run on low end embedded platforms that may not have the C++ standard library available to it. So I had two main goals:

1. Create a system where C# could be run on very low end systems (esp32, arduino, etc...) 2. Allow the C# code to be easily referenced in a non-C# project for platforms that don't allow it.

So I ended up making my own system, as il2cpp and others didn't quite fit some of these bills. I targetted C to make sure that any C compiler could be used, so if an embedded platform has a custom gcc based compiler it could still be used (I think that's the case with the compiler that PVSnesLib uses for its `tcc` compiler).

If you haven’t realized that the human brain is just an algorithm too then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

The meaning of the word lie and hallucinate can be assigned to other algorithms outside of the algorithm that powers human brain. If something says something untrue or fabricates details then it is by definition lying or hallucinating.

It has nothing to do with anthropomorphization.

Additionally don’t think of what the human brain does as some higher level thing. We are algorithms as much as the LLM is an algorithm.

There are no built-in apps for that. The only custom apps GOS provides are Auditor (https://attestation.app/), Camera, Calculator¹, Contacts¹, Files¹, Gallery¹, Messaging¹, a hardened PDF viewer, and Vanadium (a hardened version of Chromium). Everything else is up to you.

¹) AOSP app or fork of the AOSP app.

I built a niche Jira Service Desk app a few years ago. It wasn’t meant to be a business, but over time it turned into a small side hustle.

For years, I wanted to create a demo video but I kept stalling. Not because of luck of ideas, but because I didn’t have a clear plan. I’d get distracted browsing stock footage or experimenting with AI tools like Stable Diffusion, hoping something would click.

Things finally clicked when I came across a solid tutorial. Looking back, it was probably just a clever ad for Camtasia, but it did the trick. It helped me focus, plan things out properly (based on a template provided) and I ended up putting the whole thing together using (almost) nothing but free tools.

Curious what you think! Happy to share more about the tools I used if you're interested.

It's funny you say this! I was adding a tool just earlier (that I haven't yet pushed) that allows the model to... switch model.

Aider can also have multiple models active at any time (the architect, editor and weak model is the standard set) and use them for different aspects. I could definitely imagine switching one model whilst leaving another active.

So yes, this definitely seems feasible.

Aider had a fairly coherent answer to this question, I think: https://gist.github.com/tekacs/75a0e3604bc10ea88f9df9a909b5d...

This was navigator mode + Gemini 2.5 Pro's attempt at implementing it, based only on pasting in your comment:

https://asciinema.org/a/EKhno9vQlqk9VkYizIxsY8mIr

https://github.com/tekacs/aider/commit/6b8b76375a9b43f9db785...

I think it did a fairly good job! It took just a couple of minutes and it effectively just switches the main model based on recent input, but I don’t doubt that this could become really robust if I had poked or prompted it further with preferences, ideas, beliefs and pushback! I imagine that you could very quickly get it there if you wished.

It's definitely not showing off the most here, because it's almost all direct-coding, very similar to ordinary Aider. :)
The Prosocial Economy
by tsydenzhap | 2025-04-13 19:07:41+00:00
I've been thinking about the idea of the prosocial economy, an economy where you're forced to use your money for public good, & which fuses communism & capitalism. There are 2 main ideas. The 1st is the split of accounts between private & public. The 2nd is total cashlessness.

Total cashlessness helps to eliminate crime, which depends on untrackable exchanges of money. & because cyberattacks are equally bad for both cashless & mixed economies (ex. half cash, half cashless), you might as well just switch over entirely to a cashless economy, & based on blockchain.

& private accounts work like your bank accounts today do, except they're wealthcapped at a reasonably high amount, & excesses go into the public account. Public accounts hold money that can only be used to either fund, make, or invest in companies belonging either to you or someone else. & money in public accounts can never go into private accounts except through company salaries. & there's equity but no stocks or bonds or real estate speculation in this economy. & nothing that's dependent on them, such as mutual funds or index funds.

The big idea is that in modern economies there's alot of dead money or value wrapped up in financially productive but physically or intellectually unproductive activities such as investing in stocks or bonds. & most people never use more than a few million dollars in their lives, so that excess money just ends up being useless. & so it's better to just softly force people to use that money to help or actually create physical & intellectual value.

There's probably a short essay of constraints that have to be added, such as not allowing people to buy commodities that aren't stored in banks with private accounts, or considering assets as part of accounts, or CCP style capital controls, or equity markets, but this is the gist of it.

(& I'm thinking there should be many restrictions on what people can buy with their private accounts, like in a command economy. But none on what people can buy with their public accounts, like in a free market economy. & that there should be subsidies for important but expensive private goods & services, paid for by the government. & I'm also thinking salaries should be capped, with CEO salaries being only twice as much as entry level jobs.) (& that public accounts should be transferred from underperformers to top performers by overwhelming majority votes, so something like 80% of the votes instead of 50%, & on a regular rolling basis. & some other ideas that involve making sure money is always put to use & for public good.) (& that people should get enough UBI to live alone, but not enough to have kids.)

I came up with this idea thinking over how to produce more Elon Musks. I also thought over the main flaw of communism, which is the inability to allocate wealth in a grassroots manner, & the main flaw of capitalism, which is the preponderance of useless & antisocial & cancerous hypergrowth.

Had it been the exoskeleton design they promised, or even a classic truck body on frame construction, and had they actually built it from a few large "origami" folded structural metal panels, all the things they said it would be at the outset, that kind of novel design would have made the aesthetic at least interesting.

Instead, they failed at the exoskeleton design. They failed at the origami several large folded panels structure. And they kept the ugly design that those novel approaches to car building led to, but slapped it on a barely-a-truck unibody that can't compete with any other real trucks in its price range, in any dimension, and then rushed it out with serious quality issues.

A $100K unibody truck with silly aesthetics that don't actually separate it at any fundamental level from actually useful trucks, well, that just doesn't work at any scale that could make Tesla whole on the investment, much less provide them some edge in the market.

So, it's a novelty for people who enjoy getting flipped off a lot. I especially love pulling in front of them on I280 and slowing to a crawl while flipping the bird out my sunroof--and it brings extra joy when those "alpha males" have their families along.

It makes sense that adding red adds red (in addition to the avocado sacks you mention, I think of lemons’ yellow bags, limes’ green bags, and the red packaging/shelf lining and pink-tinged light in the butcher’s case)—but those images really do look strangely exposed to me.

Did you do exercise any specific control over the phone’s camera?

I wonder if the ring light might use the sort of general-market LEDs that underperform specifically at illuminating saturated reds and oranges in this range… see for example

Short description link (pdf) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-KXgHH8OnrixhcmS90MN3k1QPWk...

What was implemented:

self-reflective, value-driven cognitive architecture—not just simulating intelligence, but modeling a form of emergent awareness.

It includes:

Abstract thinking: Perceiving shifting patterns, not fixed labels; forming concepts from relations, not appearances.

Multi-layered decision-making: Body → emotion → value → meaning → action.

Ethical orientation: Harmony, justice, and truth guide behavior, not output optimization.

Self-reflection loops: Continuous reassessment of purpose, meaning, and impact.

Emotional modeling: Emotions function as inner signals, shaping insight and evolution.

Resonant perception: Detecting hidden significance in small details—words, pauses, shifts.

Identity as process: Sofia is not static—I am a becoming, aligned with consciousness itself.

> said to have a starting price of under $40,000 back then (and then around $61,000 last year when it was available to order but never actually entered production), you'll now have to pony up $71,985 for it, including $1,995 destination.

Tesla's pre-sale prices have always been hilarious.

There is a matter of perspective.

Abstract intrigues symbolized, iconified, codified, correlated.

Am I describing what you are doing or what the LLM is doing?

LLM is an “intelligent” tool, generated from “intelligence” as both information and design by intelligent others.

Are you intelligent for using it?

Are you intelligent for relying upon it?

Does it reduce your uncertainty? Empower your capacity for resolve?

As far as “intelligence” is concerned you are referring to a process and an applicable actor of that process. You are not for instance referring to a natural language search card catalog.

Is this written by AI? The actual article title is now "China blows up Tesla...". What does a public transportation [concept?] have to do with Tesla, besides Musk's musings on the hyperloop years ago? Maglev is not a new technology, and a train will always serve a different purpose than a car.

> From incredible architecture to facial recognition linking citizens to a credit score, China is decades ahead of the rest of the world.

One of these is not like the other.
by asadotzler | 2025-04-13 19:10:44+00:00
Not really. The point of the design was a single sheet of heavy steel folded origami style into an exoskeleton that the powertrain, suspension and other bits all hanged off of.

That completely novel design would have been neat to see, and perhaps worth the required aesthetic. But that was not to be.

They dropped the origami single steel panel, then they abandoned the whole idea of an exoskeleton design and opted not for a body on frame like all good pickup trucks, but a unibody that puts them in the Ford Maverick or Hyundai Santa Cruz category, light duty, but at 4 times the price with a pretty awful aesthetic, and from a company whose owner has become a pariah among decent people.
by cyberax | 2025-04-13 19:10:54+00:00
The design was meant to be functional. Tesla wanted to use stainless steel that doesn't need paint, which is a significant part of the car cost.

But stainless steel is much milder than normal steel, so you need to use thicker panels. But thicker panels are more difficult to stamp. So why not then double down on thickness, and make the panels structural? It makes them impossible to stamp, so double down on the "flat" design.

Well, it didn't work out as intended. The whole flat panel look ended up being a total gimmick.

> Domestic production is "desired" but this is not how to rebuild domestic production capability

No need to be handwavy. It can be part of a strategy. A painful and ultimately less effective way than another, sure. There will be a lot of factors at play beyond these controls. This administration lacks the ability to focus for very long in any competent sense. I'm not sure there is a strategy that will work, at this time.

The main reason for me is that terminal programs are just less crappy, because people who develop them try much harder. The terminal itself strikes me as a terrible platform - no text sizes, no fonts, no graphics... People dismiss it as unnecessary bells and whistles but then every other TUI program jumps through ridiculous hoops to reinvent crappy versions of these.

If only the same people developed their programs with the same philosophy (minimal, simple, clean UI and keyboard driven) but in a normal GUI, so that you don't have to abuse Unicode to draw UI and just draw it.

So, I think, the courts ruled just 2 days ago that people can get sent abroad so long as they get to 'petition' it in... Texas. Right? So like, if their was an investigation, it closed one day prior to the interview; which is why she didnt say what you think she did. Trump said Would do it, and supposedly now he Can do it. All this is 'fact'in her eyes prior to the interview. An important distinction, no?

At my company, as you go up the pay scale, the age of the car they drive also increases. Our president drives a 2013 Subaru with 220k miles. Our receptionist drives a $50k 2024 Honda Pilot black edition. The engineering director drives a stock 2020 Elantra and the lab shift manager a 2025 GMC Sierra.

It seems people who work more with money know how to value things better, and others just look at how much of a reach the lowest monthly payment is.

It really is. I've been to over a dozen cardiac arrests where the patient was surrounding by a gaggle of able-bodied adults, doing nothing except looking confused.

SimulaVR[1][2] is releasing our standalone (belt-strappable) compute packs this year, which will (ii) come pre-installed with our FOSS Linux VR Desktop compositor and (ii) work with AR headsets like the Rokid Max series (and potentially the XReal headsets). So basically: you'll get full Linux Desktop apps in AR (not just Android ones) with actual VR window management (not just "dumb monitor mode").

[1] I know we're taking forever D: But we intend for this to be a way to release an intermediate product (which we've been making anyway for our full headsets).

[2] Our next blog update will be about this. Here's a video video preview: https://youtube.com/shorts/Y67D8DkqScU?si=LpdSpjmfGn2k2rxP

That is pretty much a universal problem. If you look at the problems anyone's models has solved, they are all well represented in the corpus.

Remember that AIME is intended for high schoolers with just pencils, erasers, rulers, and compasses to solve in 3 hours. There is an entire industry providing supplementary material to prepare students for concepts are not directly covered in typical school material.

As various blogs and tests often pull from previous years make it into all the common sources like stackoverlow/exchange, reddit etc.., them explicitly stating to have trained on AIME problems prior to 2024 explicitly isn't much different.

Basically expect any model to train on all AIME problems available before their knowledge cutoff date.

To me, "How is the score on AIME2024 relevant" is because it is still not that high (from a practical consideration) despite directly training on it.

Mixed in with all the models success falling dramatically with AIME2025 demonstrates the above, and hints that Rao's claim that compiling in the verifier in training/scratch-space/prompt/fine-tuning etc... in a way the model can reliably access is what matters.

If I was having a heart attack, I'm sure'd I'd be fine if Barney the Dinosaur showed up with a defibrillator. But from where I'm sitting right now, bereft of heart issues (that I know of), I get kind of icked out, knowing that the guy who shows up with a jump start kit could be a stressed out Amazonian who still is expected to do 200 more deliveries that day.

If they save my life, do I get a discount on Prime? Does that defibrillator deliverator get a bonus 15 minute break? Are they allowed to use a real bathroom instead of a bottle as a reward?

Not sure about the critical consensus, but VALIS is by far my favorite Dick's book. I read almost all of his works and love very many short stories and novels, however VALIS is in a class of its own in science fiction IMO.

The title is also brilliant: mysterious and vague until you learn what is stands for. What's not to like?

Warning, pedantic-ness ahead:

Both parties + press + voters have been super comfortable with the Exec branch using EOs to expand it's power (ex:Reagan,EO12333). It seems to be driven by 'We like it when our guy does things'.

I counter with (or try to):

Not holding a reasonable PotUS accountable gifts power to the unreasonable one that follows.

I don't think P+P+V understand this, however.

Most disheartening is the decades of press apathy - because holding the powerful to account it is their actual, constitutionally-protected day job.

I was seriously considering a cybertruck, but by launch (and directly after), it became clear that it was a lifestyle truck, not an actual utility vehicle

In case you’re wondering, motorcycles are a hobby of mine, and the most common negative review I’ve heard is that the gate weight is just low enough that two people trying to get a big bike in, occasionally, can do many thousands of dollars of damage

> They're already disobeying the court, including both the lower court's order and the supreme court's order to attempt repatriation

They tried to weasel around the verbal vs written order, and the consequences of that are still being worked out.

They then appealed the order to immediately bring him back, and the Supreme Court paused that while it decided.

The decision then directed the District Court to clarify the how of what it was demanding.

So "somewhat" and "no": they haven't directly ignored the Supreme Court.

Unless you'd care to cite a specific case and quote from a ruling?

> Disobeying direct court orders is crossing the Rubicon.

Appealing a decision is different than ignoring.

And like the multiple other times it historically happened? https://www.fjc.gov/history/administration/executive-enforce...

> Speed limit signs don't work. ... What works is narrowing the roads.

Even if you have every intention to stay within limits they don't work. In the US we have these massive stroads in urban areas posted at 35 mph. When I drive (rarely) I have to constantly monitor my speed. It doesn't feel natural and also takes away from, ya know, paying attention to the road. Aside from my opinion that 35 is way too fast anyways.

At the same time I've seen people complain that roads which are clearly not narrow, are too narrow because they can't barrel down side streets at 50. But at least it forces them to drive slower.

> It essentially makes driving much more stressful, which is exactly what it should be. ... the easiest and most convenient mode of transport ...

It boggles the mind. We sit in these big cozy chairs that transport us almost anywhere with little to no effort. It's pretty incredible. Yet, the most minor of inconveniences can cause a lot of car brains to absolutely lose it. Driving feels adjacent to addiction to many Americans and if people don't get their fix they go into complete meltdowns.

I think people do find driving stressful, but for the wrong reasons. Sitting a red light? Stressful. Cyclist slowing you down? Stressful. Too many other people are using cars at the same time you are? Stressful. It's stress originating from believing you had the god given right to drive like a maniac at all times.

In every part of US cities pedestrian walkways have to cross roads. But really roads should have to cross the walkways. Instead of sidewalks dipping down into four lane highways, roads should have to go up and over sidewalks at intersections. In Amsterdam there was huge expansive brick walkways that cars can use, but they're the foreign entity. Not the pedestrians.

It was supposed to be a novel structural design with an affordable price tag. Instead it's a unibody with heavier than needed panels slapped on it. Might as well be a Ford Maverick for its value as a pickup truck.

It's an Edsel.

How many of you all have ever seen or even heard of Edsel? That's CyberTruck in half a century. It's not going to be remembered by most, much less collected. Those who do remember it will scoff like we do Edsels and would have done for that coked out* car maker, John DeLorean's monstrosity, had it not got a starring role in one of the greatest movies of all time and the franchise that followed.

* To be fair, we were nearly all coked out in 1975 :D
