If you look at Mistral investors[0], you will quickly understand that Mistral is far from being European. My understanding is it is mainly owned by US companies with a few other companies from EU and other places in the world.

The swapping of the colors is pretty bad in and of itself, but I find the change to the right face's chin even more grating.

To the many people ITT who seem to be puzzled by this kind of complaint, the issue is that it suggests someone at some point said "what if we flipped the Finder icon?", for which no valid answer appears to exist, making it unwarranted and unsatisfying. It also suggests their priorities are off.

> it's still up in the air if they "missed" AI yet (like MS missed mobile)

I think the clock on this won't start until someone ships something compelling that is not available on Apple devices. Currently, the leading AI tools have first-party iOS apps.

> Why did this team feel they had to leave Apple to create something like Sky?

No personal knowledge of that team, but the economics around an acquisition of an AI-based product in this market are very different from the economics around "generous bonus for shipping a successful product."

I'm still a little dissapointed. It seems those models are only available for iPhone series 16 and iPhone 15 pro. According to mixpanel that's only 25% of all iOS devices and even less if taking into account iPadOS. You will still have to use some other online model if you want to cover all iOS 26 users because I doubt apple will approve your app if it will only work on those Apple Intelligence devices.

Why should I bother then as a 3rd party developer? Sure nice not having a cost for API for 25% of users but still those models are very small and equivalent of qwen2.5 4B or so and their online models supposed equivalent of llama scout. Those models are already very cheap online so why bother having more complicated code base then? Maybe in 2 years once more iOS users replace their phones but I'm unlikely to use this for developing iOS in the next year.

This would be more interesting if all iOS 26 devices at least had access to their server models.

I don't disagree but you're just talking about iOS. I run third party AI stuff on Mac including ollama and https://boltai.com which gives you a common interface for both local and remote models.

iOS devices are just consumer devices for consuming content. They're almost a completely different platform.

As for integrated AI, I kinda like that Apple is trying to get it "right" in the sense of being on device in many cases (or at least capable of it) and secure (privacy respecting).

Their models are behind though. If they were really serious they would buy Anthropic or Mistral with all their cash. Anthropic might not sell but Mistral seems like something they could bulldoze with cash if they wanted, and they'd get better models and a better model-making team.

Even a fine is absurd. There are straightforward technological solutions that might even generally decrease costs of employing people. For example, imagine that there was a special kind of money transfer called “payment for labor”: the payer would send the payee $X (via their bank), and the bank would automatically verify the immigration status of the payee, generate the correct tax records, and withhold the correct amount of money and send the withheld money to the IRS. With some sensible regulation on top, this could automatically handle unemployment, etc.

Then businesses or even individuals could hire someone for an hour, a day or a year and pay them with no friction. And the check for eligibility would be automatic. Fees could be driven to very low levels by the fact that there is no creativity whatsoever in actually implementing the transfer.

But there’s a showstopping problem here: the US economy, especially agriculture, is highly dependent on employing people illegally. So a real solution to controlling illegal employment would also require the kind of immigration reform that actually allows useful immigration, and it would require a competently run nation database of employment eligibility, and good luck getting bipartisan consensus on that.

If you close off the market to US tech giants, maybe they'll have some amount of market dominance at home, but I would doubt that would mean they've "caught up" tech wise. There would be no incentive to compete. American EV manufacturing is pretty far behind Chinese EV manufacturing, protectionism didn't help make a competitive car, it just protected the home market while slowly ceding international market after international market

I don't understand why the benchmark selections are so scattered and limited. It only compares Magistral Medium with Deepseek V3, R1, and the other close weighted Mistral Medium 3. Why did they leave off Magistral Small entirely, alongside comparisons with Alibaba Qwen or the mini versions of o3 and o4?

I haven’t used the new UI, so don’t assume this to be an endorsement of it, but even if you have good ideas about UI improvements and implement them, there still is pressure to make the UI look different because that, at a glance, shows users that they get something new.

And yes, “looking different” doesn’t have to mean “requires faster hardware”, but picking something that requires faster hardware makes it less likely that you will be accused of being a copy-cat of some other product’s UI.

I also haven't pirated games since I was a child, but I run Linux, and I game on Linux, whether desktop or on my ROG Ally (Bazzite).

The experience for me, when I buy a game, is that I either don't buy one with DRM, or, I buy one that _might_ work, and then I spend a little while trying to get the right version of Proton that runs correctly, and get banned / blocked temporarily for switching my machine identifiers or something too much.

It really is a sick joke that the experience for gaming, music and video is all far, far better for those who _don't_ pay than for those who do.

Slight amendment. It's actually a little worse than you describe. Like a machine, if this is amortized over 5 years, it's subject to the "half-year convention" - the assumption is made (to keep things simple) that the engineer is hired at the exact midpoint of the year.

So for your example of a $200k salary amortized over 5 years, you can only deduct $20k the first year, then $40k, $40k, $40k, $40k, and then the final $20k in the sixth year.

> The Delaware legal system is fundamentally broken for defendants.

The entire US legal system is fundamentally and utterly broken.

If you want to make a few thousand dollars, I hate to share this secret thing you can do, but the reality of my experience is that the only thing stopping more people from doing this is, you know, some semblance of morality. Go find any local, smaller nonprofit organization. Volunteer with them for a day or two. Pay $80-$150 to sue them in small claims court for $5000 because <<you can literally make up any reason, you don't need evidence, it doesn't need to have happened, "mental hardship", I'm actually wondering if you hadn't have needed any interaction at all with the organization>>. Have an LLM generate 2-3 emails a week outlining anything at all related to grievance; each one you send to the organization is likely to result in billable legal hours. When the court date gets near, you can file for a motion to extend. Keep sending emails. After 4-6 months of doing this, send them a settlement offer for half of what you originally sued for.

I've seen this essentially destroy one nonprofit; the board was inexperienced in dealing with it, the person doing it had clearly done it before, by the end they'd spent ~80% of their bank account on legal fees, paid out a few thousand in a settlement to the plaintiff, and half the board resigned in burnout.

If you've never came into contact with this kind of weapon before, you might have it in your head "we'll just argue the case, we're clearly in the right" ha. ha. No. You'll never get the opportunity, and the people who do this know it.

If you're now thinking "well, if you're such a small organization why are you paying lawyers at all? We have AI. We'll just file responses on our own" I wish it were the case. But sadly: at least in my state, you can sue organizations in small claims court without representation, but filings made to the court in defense of the organization must be made by a licensed attorney. Asymmetry is built into the system.

The only thing that can protect nonprofit organizations from this, beyond having a massive bank account, is getting a lawyer to donate work pro-bono and/or sit on your board of directors. This is a common thing for nonprofits, for this exact reason, and assuming you're legit and well-known its not too hard to find legal experts who will do this for you.

If you're not a nonprofit, I have to imagine you don't have this angle open to you, and you're just SOL.

a centralized system is by definition not present locally, so it cannot verify the person itself, hence it cannot be used for identity verification.

You need a local actor for all the things you mention.

Credit card? there's a bit that designate that the card was physically present on the transaction place. And nothing that identify the person (even the signature on the back is joke)

Drivers license? you pay the salary of hundreds of thousands of cops.

IRS? you actually proved my point even further: remember california urging everyone to claim they account/password asap because criminals were rushing and filling fake returns to collect checks instead? clear sign of a system that have no clue how to verify identity.

So, Who is pretending? Stop daydreaming that the technofascist lie of everyone being a verifiable number is real.

> This sealed, nonconvertible nature of Java enums makes them "true" enums, which you can call tag-only discriminated unions or whatever if you want, and no such thing exists in Go.

It is no secret that Go has a limited type system. In fact, upon release it was explicitly stated that their goal was for it to be a "dynamically-typed language with statically-typed performance", meaning that what limited type system it does have there only to support the performance goals. You'd have to be completely out to lunch while also living under a rock to think that Go has "advanced" types.

But, as before, enums are values. It is not clear why you want to keep going back to talking about type systems. That is an entirely different subject. It may be an interesting one, but off-topic as it pertains to this discussion specifically about enums, and especially not useful when talking in the context of Go which it isn't really intended to be a statically-typed language in the first place.

Not sure what you’re meaning? A CVE like this: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-24201 found in 2025 impacts iOS versions before 18.3.1 (Safari and iOS are shipped together).

Which means there is a decent chance an iPad running 9.3.2 is vulnerable.

And there have been thousands of CVEs since 9.3.2. Most of low severity, but not all.
Show HN: P99.chat – Chat for Performance Measurement
by art049 | 2025-06-10 15:11:49+00:00
Hi HN! We’re the team behind CodSpeed (https://codspeed.io), a continuous performance testing tool.

Today, we're really excited to launch our new product: p99 (https://p99.chat), an assistant for software performance optimization.

Through CodSpeed, we have been working with hundreds of projects doing performance optimization. What struck us was how fragmented the tooling landscape is. You would identify a performance regression in their CI, or worse, in production, then disappear into a rabbit hole of benchmarking frameworks, sampling profilers, memory profilers, instrumentation tools, and visualization tools. With each tool coming with its own setup requirements, data formats, and workflows. This less interesting part of setup ends up taking most of the troubleshooting time.

Even for our own developer-focused tool, we worked hard on making the CI product as simple as possible for straightforward use cases, but the required integration level is so deep that there seems to be an inevitable high entry cost for performance tooling.

Our solution, p99 eliminates this friction with an integrated chat interface. Instead of context-switching between tools, you describe your performance challenge, share your code, and p99 orchestrates the entire analysis pipeline. It handles code analysis, instrumentation (using CodSpeed's CPU profiling), and visualization in one seamless conversation.

The goal is to cut setup overhead from hours to seconds, so you can focus on what matters: finding the issue and making your code faster.

Current features: Python and Rust execution, algorithm comparison, (differential) profiling, flamegraph and charts display.

Coming next: MCP integration for editor integration, additional instruments (memory profiling, walltime profiling, DB instrumentation, ...), GitHub integration for direct code analysis, and automated PR generation for performance improvements.

For now, the product is completely free. Although we require a login before creating chats to prevent abuse, you can check out a short demo here: https://youtu.be/yxY-nWNbK6M

Looking forward to your feedbacks and comments!

Can you explain why you think that the population (eventually) falling is an inherent problem? (Beyond claiming that unnamed experts think that it is a problem, I mean.) There are of course problems which it implies, primarily, bluntly, "how do we pay for all the old people", but really that one was going to show up to some extent _anyway_ just due to increased lifespans, and it has many possible solutions which don't involve population increase.

If, in a couple of centuries, the world's population is, say, 3 billion, then, provided that they've weathered the economic stresses around pensions etc., why is that a problem?

Personally, I'm far from a dog enthusiast. My reasons for questioning you on this are in no way related to dogs.

> You said this isn’t “_that_ novel”? Are you kidding?

I was referring to a shortfall in working-age vs non-working-age population (for reasons other than low growth; disease or war generally, though if you go back a bit further famines sometimes also cause a similar distortion) not being that novel. And the working/non-working ratio is the only _real_ concern that I can see here.

I think this is a topic that every Linux user eventually stumbles into. It is indeed quite frustrating.

I found the article hard to follow, but maybe because I was already familiar with the problem and was just skimming. Skip to "Some experiments..." for the actual useful examples.

I disagree with the conclusion, though. I think there should just be more obvious ways to escape the input so one can keep their sanity with nested 'sh -c' invocation. Maybe '${var@Q}' and print '%q' are enough (can't believe I didn't know those existed!)

Maybe for "Apple", but there's one team that takes performance seriously. The WebKit team has a zero tolerance policy for performance regressions (https://webkit.org/performance/) dating back to the implementation of the Page Load Test in 2002 (Creative Selection, p. 93).

WebKit sounds like the kind of scrappy startup Apple might want to acquire and gain some hard-earned engineering knowledge.

Different teams and services have very different needs. What’s critical for one team might be noise for another. Being too aggressive and using blunt, one-size-fits-all policies can hurt debugging or alerting.

Has anyone found flexible and efficient approaches that worked? Would love to hear how others balanced cost vs value without over-simplifying. Open to tools, strategies, or lessons learned.

Thanks!

I like your take, as it provides a place for those who oppose it without making the massive leap from "I can find reasons to support my distaste for it" to "No one anywhere ever should do it".

Not to get too political, but in the USA, I always romanticized states as the places where enough people could gather under the "I don't like X" banner and make their own way, without neighboring states trying to use federal law to ban it anyway.

We're way past that though, sadly.

If you can't google/ask a LLM about ASML and EUV why should I do it for you? Why waste time to convince a troll on the internet operating on thoughts and assumptions?

I'm NOT asking you to believe what I said. If you don't believe me that's fine with me, just have the decency to google information yourself and provide your own counter arguments if you want to argue further, but don't be rude and expect others to provide information on a silver platter just for your lazy convenience.

> I addressed that in my next sentence! The whole point of making it two sentences was to split up the real world and not real world cases. Come on.

Your next sentence was just obviously flat-out wrong though. Not just because who says that's the case (maybe I don't have that much time?) but because it's trivial to find P(H) that makes it false for any duration of time. "A few hundred iterations" literally doesn't guarantee anything unless you make unstated assumptions about the biases your device works for.

I don't get why we're going in circles here. It seems we've hashed everything out.

> N is 1. Every bound is a constant bound.

Kind of a meaningless statement when you don't even say what your N is. I can imagine lots of N where that's not the case. But whatever you want to call it, my point entirely stands.

> They would not be entitled to a penny back because it's impossible for them to hit the failure case.

No, it is very possible. All they need to be given is a coin whose bias they don't know beforehand, whose bias is unfortunate. Or a coin whose bias they do know to be much worse than whatever you imagined a few hundred tosses would be enough for.

I find it interesting that the 6 replies to my comment assumed that I was talking about myself, when in fact my comment specifically was talking about other people. I can and do write just fine, thank you. But I have sympathy for people who have something to say and struggle to say it, whether because they lack the skill or the time or the executive function. They don't need to be recognized as a writer, they just want to have an impact.

Using LLMs to write is like wearing fast fashion. If you want certain kinds of people to notice you and think of you favorably, you need to wear clothes that represent how you want to be seen. It would be better if people made their own clothes, or paid money to "real" designers for bespoke and/or high-quality items. But most people can't afford the time and money for that. So we have places like Hot Topic and Forever 21 and you probably recognize when other people shop there and you turn up your nose at them. But they are still effective at getting what they want from their sartorial choices.

All of the 'great philosophers' got virtually everything wrong (and where they got things right, it was by luck rather than virtue) right up to the point where a few people started believing in wacky concepts like "the existence of an objective reality" and "maybe we should test our assumptions". Before that point all "great thoughts" were basically people with too much spare time, confidently making stuff up and declaring it as fact because they thought it made them sound smart.

We first had that discussion some 10 years ago. They're not taking the world by storm, we know that much.

They are a worse variant of the fireworks we know, but they're different enough to be something else. Cost and regulatory overhead has meant that we haven't fully explored what that could be. Drones work at a completely different speed, and with a different language. Much slower, much more docile. More female, if you will.

The same way that good firework is an art form, a good drone show is a whole choreography, and must be treated as such. It is neither a flashing firework, not a hovering dot matrix display.

I wonder if AI is just not up to Apple's standards yet. It's very, very amazing in some ways, but also, deeply flaky in others. Remember all the Apple news summarization memes? That sort of thing bothers any tech company but it really bothers Apple. "Very amazing but also deeply flaky" is fine for the Android ecosystem but it's not on brand for Apple.

I suspect Steve Jobs would be very aggressively driving them internally but also not necessarily releasing much yet either.

There are so many neo-shells that go crazy with colors, autocompletions, & SQL-like features while the most basic problems (like handling of newlines/spaces/international chars) are mostly swept under the rug with -null/-print0, which is more hack than solution. I think Tom Duff's rc shell was an excellent start in that direction, which sadly went nowhere.
