It is still almost always unwanted garbage though, which is why the specification says please don't.

We know from the Web PKI how this goes. People who have no idea what they're doing copy-paste a "good" list in 2025, but in 2035 the fact a third of vendors on that "good" list are now known villains and another third went bankrupt doesn't change the problem that stuff on the list works and everything else doesn't, because it was mindlessly copy-pasted

Narrowly, the vendor attestation could make sense if you're BigBank and you bought every employee (or maybe every customer, I wish) a FooCo security key, you can require FooCo security keys. If you're big enough you could have FooCo make you a custom model (maybe with your company logo) and attest every key is the custom model. I expect Yubico would sell you that product, if you were willing to commit to the volume. You get assurance of the exact hardware properties, and you retain the option to shop around by updating your software to trust different attestation. IMO not worth standardizing, but people really wanted this and better it exists but isn't used than it doesn't exist so they walk away.

> All I can say to those companies is RIP.

This is why this commentary doesn't matter. Either it'll work, in which case, great, cheaper products and services, or it won't work and the company folds and a competitor who didn't do it replaces them, or it won't work and they realise in time and stop it.

It's capitalism, baby.

> But those training the LLMs are still using the works, and not just to discuss them, which I think is the point of fair use doctrine.

Worse, they’re using it for massive commercial gain, without paying a dime upstream to the supply chain that made it possible. If there is any purpose of copyright at all, it’s to prevent making money from someone’s else’s intellectual work. The entire thing is based on economic pragmatism, because just copying does obviously not deprive the creator of the work itself, so the only justification in the first place is to protect those who seek to sell immaterial goods, by allowing them to decide how it can be used.

Coming to the conclusion that you can ”fair use” yourself out of paying for the most critical part of your supply makes me upset for the victims of the biggest heist of the century. But in the long term it can have devastating chilling effects, where information silos will become the norm, and various forms of DRM will be even more draconian.

Plus, fair use bypasses any licensing, no? Meaning even if today you clearly specify in the license that your work cannot be used in training commercial AI, it isn’t legally enforceable?

It would be completely on-brand for the dems to slow roll the prosecutions only to have the entire thing blow up in their faces and let a criminal off the hook.

That said, the Jan 6 prosecutions followed the traditional, deliberate bottom-up approach. The classified documents case was derailed by a maverick Trump judge but would eventually see a jury. The Georgia state charges were hamstrung by their chosen RICO path and Willis's ill-advised romantic entanglement. It could be that Biden and the DNC stayed out of it in a deliberate attempt to take the high road and/or avoid handing Trump a political defense.

On January 7 everyone thought Trump's political career was over and that he could only delay justice. Alas, he set up a very large inflation time bomb in 2020 and the rest is history.

Airbnb is bragging about their UI? As a long-time host this appalls me. The best you can say about their UI is that it's marginally better than their primary competitor.

- Finding important settings is an absolute mess (Obviously you can't get to rate and billing settings from the Listings menu! Duh!)

- The UI having absolutely no depth or even consistent layout between pages means constantly losing track of where features are

- Some important features/functionality are buried and hard to find (like scheduled messages).

- The UI is often buggy or inconsistent (since the recent app update, the button to switch between units often disappears completely).

Last year we found a software bug where it let two guests book the same unit at the same time! Absolute disaster scenario as a host. After 3 hours with Airbnb support, they made me take the hit for cancelling a guest because their support team was (apparently) unable to raise software bugs!

I also prefer hotels, but Airbnbs are a better niche for groups.

If you have a large family or a group of ten friends, you can get a much better option for much less money via Airbnb than if you try to do the same thing at a hotel.

That said, I find the hotel experience generally better and I hate the Airbnb list of rules and chores.

> the commute times end up being about the same if you ever have to leave your immediate community

People routinely leave their community for their job all the time here. Go take a look at that map I shared earlier. Most of the people in that neighborhood probably don't work in Princeton. They probably don't even work in McKinney or Fairview. Good chance they work in North Plano, Frisco, Addison, Dallas, maybe Garland. Most people living here are probably driving about an hour to their job, each way, every day. With a lot of those people with those kinds of commutes having that take place on a tollway.

They do that because they can buy that 4-bedroom 3-bath 3-car garage ~2,400sqft with a gameroom house on its own lot for $375k. Meanwhile, a similar house within a few miles of their work (say, Frisco) is probably anywhere from $590k to $2M. Property taxes can be pretty steep here, so that $590k house gets like $14k/yr in property taxes in Frisco while that $375k house in Princeton is only $9k/yr, over $400/mo in additional taxes. They could potentially accept a smaller and thus cheaper house, but to them it's not worth the tradeoff. They need that 3-car garage, they need that gameroom.

My wife has coworkers who live in Forney and commute to jobs in Plano and Frisco. They do that commute 3-5 times a week and see nothing wrong with it. They value having a large home with tons of space, and with the kind of income they make there's little chance they could afford it anywhere near where those jobs are. Think a security guard and a building engineer (like an on-site maintenance tech for a commercial property) are going to own a $1M+ house? No. But they still want a 3 bedroom home with a pool and a spa and an outdoor kitchen, and they can get that for $300k in Forney.

Just trying to share the follow on mindset. If you're having to leave your home by car every day for work, then you're absolutely going to have a car. If you already have the car, why go to the little grocery store at the edge of the neighborhood when you just spend a little more transit time and go to the big store that has everything else you'd want to buy?

> Ursula comes from a family of influential EU politicians and has been groomed since childhood to take high ranking jobs in politics.

Do we say such things if a dentist encourages their child to become a dentist? Or an MD towards being an MD? An accountant to account? A programmer to a programmer?

> That woman hasn't worked a job a day in her life […]

Being a politician (or in the government bureaucracy) is a job. It is a career. There is domain of knowledge in governance that one must learn to be effective just like there is in any other human endeavour.

The context is that on a traditional Linux laptop/desktop you are in fact running everything as one user.

Firefox, the desktop environment, your password manager and even `sudo` are traditionally all running as your own user.

This is not true in Android whatsoever.

Being multi-seat or not has little security implications - most traditional Linux systems can handle multi-seat but they’re still limited in security by running everything as a single user

And no nearly all 100% of Linux systems do not run proper multi-user configurations because none of the most popular distributions ship like that. Not in the context of desktop usage anyway.

Servers do use multi-user configuration but that’s not what we’re talking about here

I'm pretty sure there's already a popular hypothesis that relates to evolutionary biology, but I don't know the name of it.

Essentially, as hunter-gatherers every group of humans needed one or more experts on the local megafauna, so virtually all of us have some degree of fascination with big animals baked in, but some have more than others. I've also heard the same hypothesis used to express young boys' obsessions with trucks and trains.

Alcohol is famously super high margin, though. People will pay like $5-10 for a 54¢ shot of Costco vodka or rum at a comedy club and another $5 if you mix 10¢ of cola into it, you simply can't get the same margins out of even very expensive feeling food which usually needs more labor and prep.

In addition, alcohol lowers the bar for entertainment. Comedy, music, dancing, none of it has to be as good to satisfy if people are at least a bit tipsy, which makes the performers happier, and the customers happier.

One aspect of this ruling [1] that I find concerning: on pages 7 and 11-12, it concedes that the LLM does substantially "memorize" copyrighted works, but rules that this doesn't violate the author's copyright because Anthropic has server-side filtering to avoid reproducing memorized text. (Alsup compares this to Google Books, which has server-side searchable full-text copies of copyrighted books, but only allows users to access snippets in a non-infringing manner.)

Does this imply that distributing open-weights models such as Llama is copyright infringement, since users can trivially run the model without output filtering to extract the memorized text?

You say but your landing page almost lists similar features that getlago does including things like "metering" etc. It is ok to be similar of course but I don't really see how you are different than them other than saying that they are focussed on Series B and you are for early stage. So feature wise, I am not seeing a huge difference. I could be wrong of course.

From that perspective (thing be paid off), yes, they're the same. But that's not the point I'm making. I'm saying debts signed up to voluntarily, even 200 years ago, are not the same as debts created involuntarily today, retroactive 200 years. A noble act (helping to end slavery) freely given and in normal debt-creation circumstances doesn't justify totally different circumstances.

Show HN: Built a Resume Optimizer to Improve Your Resume Based on Job Role
by Arindam1729 | 2025-06-24 17:30:29+00:00
Recently, I was exploring RAG systems and wanted to build some practical utility, something people could actually use.

So I built a Resume Optimizer that helps you improve your resume for any specific job in seconds.

The flow is simple: → Upload your resume (PDF) → Enter the job title and description → Choose what kind of improvements you want → Get a final, detailed report with suggestions

Here’s what I used to build it:

LlamaIndex for RAG

Nebius AI Studio for LLMs

Streamlit for a clean and simple UI

The project is still basic by design, but it's a solid starting point if you're thinking about building your own job-focused AI tools.

If you want to see how it works, here’s a full walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8qIR29zCHU

And here’s the code if you want to try it out or extend it: https://github.com/Arindam200/awesome-ai-apps/tree/main/rag_...

Would love to get your feedback on what to add next or how I can improve it

You don't take your hand off the keyboard for cursor movement on Datahands either but yes, having two embedded trackballs is pretty sweet.

Aside...

Datahand moved RSI pain from my wrist to my knuckles. These keyboards don't magically prevent all RSI, which is ... only obvious if you actually think on it, which i didn't back then.

I'm trying to think about why this bothers me so much. I'm a happy (I think?) user of Warp The Terminal (eg their product with all of the AI features turned off), and it's a really nice terminal.

I think it bugs me because it feels like a company with a product in search of a problem, trying to maximize returns for their investors, cashing in the AI hype, instead of just trying to build a Really Good Product.

Their terminal is Really Good! And in fact an AI-enabled terminal could even be Really Good - but they won't of course let you use your own API keys (because $markup$), and now they're pitching this whole "ADE" thing which just screams to me "Hey Cursor got a huge valuation so what's our secret sauce?".

And look, I can't fault them -- they're doing exactly what VC-backed companies are built to do. I would probably be doing precisely the same thing if I were CEO.

But it still bugs me.

The only examples you give of it 'catering to female and LGBT audiences' are the existence of some female and LGBT characters.

Also, Abby is just a regular cis heterosexual woman, and there is never any indication that she might be otherwise. I can't really see how the mere existence of a straight cis female character in a game could signal very much about its intended audience.

I found the config a lot nicer. It was very easy to custimze to my (very minimal) liking. The config is easily readable. And its portable to any supported shell.

Most shells can probably do everything this can as well and if you're already familiar with the archaic syntax there is probably limited use for you.

For an idea, here is my current config https://github.com/LukasKnuth/dotfiles/blob/main/zsh/.config...

In my younger years, classic ASP + SQL was easy, and I had IIS + SQL Server set up on a server at my house. And I could write HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

Deployment was... run update scripts, push ASP files via FTP.

Now I know there are newer ways to do things, and I'd love to set up CI/CD in my personal life, but every time I want to do a "toy project" I get hung up researching and thinking about my own personal software development life cycle.

What you choose for hosting and deployment for your toy projects?

> i think it just means he can't just doge the regulators out of existence this time.

I don't believe this "contact" by regulators has shown that to be the case. However ultimately my point is that this "contact" happened because Tesla's taxis are failing at obeying the law and believing the regulators are out to "get" Tesla (or any company for that matter) is partly why America is facing its current challenges.

In particular, this points away from our health care system as a significant life expectancy causal factor. The biggest health-related contributor to life expectancy, by a long ways --- really, the only "big" one --- is CVD. But CVD deaths in Mississippi look nothing like CVD deaths in Connecticut, despite the same health care structure in both locales; Connecticut's CVD deaths look like Europe's, despite drastically different systems.

It depends on the industry. In high tech they would not carry the "professor" shine, they are just one more person in the meeting.

They would also quickly suffer from corporate politics is they are not used to it (and they will be exposed because professor).

OTOH I think they can become more arrogant when they are back to the uni, now that they have seen both worlds
ComfyUI workspaces that just work
by urbanfable | 2025-06-24 17:34:18+00:00
Hi all!

We at Kimara.ai have been working on something that's meant to resolve some of the biggest headaches with ComfyUI: constant technical issues and the fact that the hardware is just super expensive, owned or cloud-rented.

So here's some big promises that we are committed to keep:

- Never wonder why updates broke ComfyUI again - Never fix python dependencies again - Never fix your old workflows again - Never have your commercial workflows stolen again - Never share your workflows just for them to be broken for everyone else again

What we're building is a cloud ComfyUI platform where you get your own persistent workspace that just works, with an option to easily share, or even monetize your workflows as small apps. All while keeping the workflow itself private. With this approach you can easily share your workflows with your friends without them needing to have ever heard of ComfyUI. Also, no more fixing your workflows that have suddenly broken for no apparent reason.

And yeah, about pricing, of course there will be paid subscriptions, but:

- The ComfyUI workspaces can be used for free - All GPU models can be used for free

We're still in development, but we're pretty excited about where this is going. To get free early access, visit https://kimara.ai/ !

Fair use "overrides" licensing in the sense that one doesn't need a copyright license if fair use applies. But fair use itself isn't a shield against breach of contract. If you sign a license contract saying you won't train on the thing you've licensed, the licensor still has remedies for breach of contract, just not remedies for copyright infringement (assuming the act is fair use).

If we agree that solar+storage is off the table, then the question is what should we build instead?

The answer is actually "nothing". We keep gas generators around for the winter months in extreme northern climates.

We don't have to drive fossil fuels down to zero. If we need to run fossil fuel plants 10% of the time, then we've cut 90% of our power-generation CO2. Cutting the remaining 10% is far less important than other greenhouse gas sources (transportation, concrete & steel manufacture, agriculture, etc.)

We already have all of the gas plants we need to do that job. Replacing the with nuclear is unnecessary.

If it turns out that we can build nuclear fast and cheap enough to supplement the existing zero-emission transition, so much the better. But there's no need to prioritize the last dregs of fossil fuels. Just the opposite: whatever gets rid of most of the problem, fastest, is optimal for reducing the harm from climate change.

I wouldn't even compare mouse keys to what is done on Svalboard.

I know I personally found mouse keys unusable for day to day use, and another local DH users thought much the same, we had other pointers we used. (I used a fingerworks trackpad back when, clamped onto the side of the laplander, the other guy used a mouse, if I remember right.)

Hi HN,

I'm Marco — ex-ethologist turned AI systems engineer — and I built something I needed but couldn't find: an open-source framework to wire cognition like circuits — not spaghetti prompt chains.

It's called OrKa: the Orchestrator Kit for Agents.

WHY I BUILT IT • Tired of black-box LLM chains (LangChain, AutoGPT, etc.) • Needed a way to fork/join reasoning paths • Wanted true traceability, memory, and reproducibility • Inspired by how cognition decays, splits, reconverges • Built from scratch with Redis Streams, YAML logic, and local model support

I wanted reasoning I could see, debug, version, and replay — like functional circuits.

WHAT ORKA IS

> YAML-defined cognition graphs (versioned, inspectable)

> Fork/Join execution with trace replay

> Router agents w/ confidence-weighted branching

> Redis or Kafka backends

> Scoped memory (episodic, procedural, etc.)

> Visual UI (React-based): https://orka-ui.web.app

> ServiceNodes: RAG, Memory fetch, Writer, Embedder

> Full local+remote LLM support via LiteLLM / OpenAI / Ollama

> 76%+ test coverage, deterministic behavior

BENCHMARK (REAL)

• 1000 orchestration runs (2-agent pipeline)

• DeepSeek-R1 (1.5B) via Ollama on Pop!_OS

• Avg latency: ~7.6s per agent

• Zero agent drift across runs

• Total cost (simulated): ~$0.49

• CPU temp: stable 88–89°C

• RAM: < 5.3 GB

• RESULTS: https://github.com/marcosomma/orka-reasoning/blob/master/doc...

LINKS

• PyPI → https://pypi.org/project/orka-reasoning/

• GitHub → https://github.com/marcosomma/orka-reasoning

• Examples → https://github.com/marcosomma/orka- reasoning/tree/master/examples

• UI (Docker)→ https://hub.docker.com/r/marcosomma/orka-ui

FEEDBACK WELCOME

• Is this the right abstraction layer for agentic reasoning?

• Should this remain infra-first or move toward hosted cognition-as-a-service?

• Anyone else frustrated with current LLM toolchains?

Thanks for reading. AMA

People living paycheck to paycheck need (in your "franchise" language) food and basic clothing as opex for their human capital, and possibly even entertainment, something that is provided to our troops. Trust me the military would not allow for leisure time if they did not think it had a purpose. Eating enough food and wearing a shirt without holes in it does let people make more at work.

The "vibes" are that the US government has been cutting funding from education since the 80's. I feel this is very well established, but if you really want a source I can fish up a few charts. As a fun fact, today we still spend about as much per student as we did in the 80's for university. The main difference is that funding cratered, so colleges need to make up for that out of pocket.

>people will say shit like "Why didn't school teach me how to balance a checkbook" as if school didn't teach them basic arithmetic and the ability to read a single paper of instructions included in your checkbook by middle school.

Not sure I agree with this interpretation. It's like responding to "why didn't they teach CS" with "well they taught you discrete math and binary". Specialized instruction on applied mathematics is well worth pursuing. It's arguably the big reason Al many students end up thinking "I'm bad at math". They get no context on what it's really used for.

MCP, in its current form, functions as a fun and profit remote exploit vector, primarily because it exposes AI systems to a wide range of attacks through under-specified security controls, heavy reliance on natural language context, and the ability for untrusted servers to manipulate model behavior. While MCP aims to standardize and simplify tool integration for AI, its half-implemented security features and architectural choices have made it a high-risk protocol, especially when deployed without additional safeguards.

A treasure trove of possibilities: OAuth tokens, almost impossible to build alarms for outside of transmission rates (what are you running your own LLM? How about a meta MCP for twice the API calls?) , assumed trusted input, the server can inject malicious instructions via tool descriptions, leading to prompt injection, data exfiltration, or even remote code execution, sometimes without any explicit tool use by the user.
