> There are almost zero politicians currently advocating we completely abolish private insurers.

This is not universal healthcare either, and many countries achieve universal coverage without single-payer. I would encourage you to look this up.

> In addition, loan forgiveness is also not free college.

Dude, seriously? Biden proposed free college for families making less than $125k/yr. I'm not gonna shadow box with you, this stuff was literally written down.

You are making an excellent point about the informedness of the average voter, here.

> For example, we pay significantly more per person for healthcare while simultaneously having significantly worse healthcare outcomes. Gee, I wonder why?

Obesity, for the outcomes. The price is good old-fashioned regulatory capture :)

> My point more so was that the ACA was incredibly reasonable and obvious and still shocking unpopular. Even among the democrats, there were some at the time claiming it went too far.

Healthcare is a full FIFTH of all economic activity in the US. The ACA was stuffed full of compromises and carve-outs to get those people on board. There's no faceless villain here, there were plenty of people with skin in the game if you're looking to blame someone.

> That means they're trying to be slightly more left of the republican party, but not by much. When the republican party is far-right, as it currently is, we then have to ask ourselves: where do we land if we're trying to be slightly left of that? It's not socialism, I'll tell you that.

If Bernie Sanders cannot even win with Democrats in the primary process, he would be smoked in the general election. That's basic numeracy. And no, the party did not railroad him - he was actually just not very popular outside of college students. The US is further right than Europe or whatever other "true left" place you want to name, and our politics reflect that.

Tesla has rebranded its self-driving ambitions half a dozen times. (I’m honestly currently blanking on which of Robotaxi and Cybercab is the Level 4 product.) It’s fair to point out that “advanced driver-assistance” is another neologism of Musk’s, and not a term to be treated as comparable with other companies’ capabilities.
Show HN: Arkflow(stream processing engine) will soon support Python processors
by chenquan | 2025-06-05 00:27:21+00:00
In the recently merged PR, ArkFlow supports Python processors, which allows us to call Python scripts directly in ArkFlow. Using the Pyarrow library allows users to write data processing logic more freely. At the same time, relying on Python's powerful AI ecosystem, ArkFlow will also be able to call any Python machine learning/deep learning library (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.) and large models. We will have more detailed articles to introduce relevant use cases in the future.

There has been a lot of opinion pieces popping up on HN recently that describe the benefits they see from LLMs and rebut the drawbacks most of them talk about. While they do bring up interesting points, NONE of them have even mentioned the privacy aspect.

This is the main reason I can’t use any LLM agents or post any portion of my code into a prompt window at work. We have NDAs and government regulations (like ITAR) we’d be breaking if any code left our servers.

This just proves the point. Until these tools are local, privacy will be an Achilles heal for LLMs.

They try to have 1:1s with the team members. I have tried this and that is why I am mentioning to you. I have never met face-to-face many of whom I have worked with and collaborated effectively - and it started with having some kind of connection with them. I help those who are stuck or looking for help. I may not know the answer, but will help brainstorm. Or help with design or code review. Things like that go a long way. I don’t know your experience - may be you tried all that.

Feel free to email me and we can brainstorm.

I quite like the product and it has appeared just as I need it, I am struggling with designing a case for a project right now via fusion.

I have noticed that the tool does not do quite what I want it to. It reminds me of MidJourney a couple years ago. I might have to build a workflow where I design parts in Adam and arrange them in other tools. As details I supply for arrangement appear to being applied to individual parts.

Do you have any language that is getting better results than others?

For example I have a thread for engineer status updates. I get the call transcripts from an internal app my company developed and I push everything into ChatGPT. When I need to recall something, I just ask ChatGPT. It is much better than indexed search.

If I need to just write and don’t want feedback, i tell ChatGPT to not reply until I say so, and I will just write in the most lazy and disparaged way, a true brain dump, When I am ready, ChatGPT will sort out my thoughts.

If conversations get too large I summarize everything that’s important and migrate to another conversation.

> I'm pondering the idea of just using both and keep them both open

Do it. I've started editing with Zed and just keeping Cursor/Intellij open on the side. (Cursor b/c of the the free student plan, Intellij for school assignments).

I feel spoiled by the performance, especially on promotion displays. I've started noticing some dropped frames in Cursor and measured an avg of 45-60 fps in Intellij (which is somewhat expected for such a huge IDE). I basically exclusively write in Zed, and do everything else in their respective apps.

I like stories like this. They remind me of two things: 1) you have to be a little crazy to make history (and become an inspiration), 2) there's no need to whitewash, ignore, or silence the tellings of imperfections of "heroes"; their [often inaccurate] legend will live on anyway.

The opposite really. People don't get called a bigot for saying the Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer or that Columbus had a bad plan and was only saved by dumb luck. Which is why those facts are much more well known than the facts about Earhart.

A lot of people in history have a reputation that's not at odds with the reality. It's good to question it. If we refuse to, I don't see how we can complain about others being lead astray by false narratives. Unfortunately, questioning some people results in attacks and accusations that are meant to shut the conversation down, hide the truth, and protect the myth.

Two things. First, the judge could have issued a narrowly tailored order — say, requiring OpenAI to preserve only those chats that a filter flags as containing substantial amounts of paywalled content from the plaintiffs. That would’ve targeted the alleged harm without jeopardizing the safety of massive amounts of unrelated user data.

Second, we’re going to need technology that can simply defy government orders, as digital technology expands the ability of one government order violating rights at scale. Otherwise, one judge — whether in the U.S., China, or India — can impose a sweeping decision that undermines the privacy and autonomy of billions.

To be fair, LLVM wasn't an Apple-initiated project, but one Apple noticed and decided to adopt later on (they hired Chris Latner in 2005; LLVM began in 2000, and had its first public stable release in 2003).

Unlike Swift, there was never a period of time where LLVM only worked exclusively on Apples own OS's or hardware. From the get go, you could run early versions of LLVM on Windows. In Swift's case, Linux support came in 2016, 1.5 years after Swift's initial release in 2014, then Windows support came 6 years later in v5 (2020).

If Apple didn't want to let Swift suffer the reputation of being an Apple-only language they should've invested more into cross platform support much earlier on. Yes, today Apple and everyone else can say, 'Swift is cross-platform', but dig deeper into the history of Swift and its clear that from the get go, Apple treated non-Apple OS support as an afterthought.

Deletion via encryption only works if every user’s data is completely separate from every other user’s data in the storage layer. This is rarely the case in databases, indexes, etc. It also is often infeasible if the number of users is very large (key schedule state alone will blow up your CPU cache).

Databases with data from multiple users largely can’t work this way unless you are comfortable with a several order of magnitude loss of performance. It has been built many times but performance is so poor that it is deemed unusable.

Yes, but which of the state of the art models that offer the best results, are you allowed to do this with? As far as I've seen the models that you can host locally are not the ones being praised left and right in these articles. My company actually allows people to use a hosted version of Microsoft copilot, but most people don't because it's still not that much of a productivity boost (if any).

I’m 100% with you on that big point - the process just be “here’s what we have for you, do you have any missing data?” and 99% of people can just click “ok”. Your comment about the agent reminded me of a former coworker whose mother was an IRS auditor: she commented that most people assumed it was going to be some horrible ordeal and were surprised a) that she was a normal suburban mom rather than the Gestapo and b) ended up finding deductions such that close to half of the people she talked to came out ahead.

The idea of using stenographic techniques to exfiltrate data is interesting, but I don't quite follow the general method outlined in the repository -- either through the generated documentation or code. The threat model and case studies seem contrived. I find it hard to believe that folks would expose data via RAG that they wouldn't want users of the underlying system to be privy to.

There's too much fluff here to be useful. I imagine having something that is concise and concrete would make it more appealing to others. But as-is, it's missing a good technical summary and demonstration.

Trivial after a substantial hardware investment and installation, configuration, testing, benchmarking, tweaking, hardening, benchmarking again, new models come out so more tweaking and benchmarking and tweaking again, all while slamming your head against the wall dealing with the mediocre documentation surrounding all hardware and software components you're trying to deploy.

Yup. Trivial.

She’s a magistrate judge, she’s handling discovery matters, not the substantive issues at trial; the plaintiffs are specifically alleging spoliation by OpenAI/Microsoft (the parties were previously ordered to work out discovery issues, which obviously didn’t happen) and the judge is basically ensuring that potentially-discoverable information is retained, though it may not actually be discoverable in practice (or require a special master). It’s a wide-ranging order, but in this case that’s probably indicative of the judge believing that the defendants have been acting in bad faith, particularly since she specifically asked them for an amelioration plan which they appear to have refused to provide.

I develop for both platforms and don’t agree at all. The Android dev experience has a lot of potential to be good, but it’s dragged down by the unmitigated messes that are Gradle and ProGuard, both of which regularly cause more pain for me than their iOS counterparts (Swift Package Manager and clang’s code stripper).

It’s also only been relatively recently that Google has decided it’s ok to be opinionated and provide happy paths for devs to follow in their UI library with Compose. Android Framework was/is notorious for having 5 ways to accomplish any given task and none being “right” or the only one capable of doing what you need being deprecated.

And then there’s Kotlin, which is so close to being a great language but dies on weird hills ideologically (e.g. please just give me “if let” syntax, “.let {}” is ugly and automatic unwrapping fails just enough to not be useful).

Freedom of editor is nice but doesn’t make up for the rest, at least for me.

This has veered fully into politics, but... In addition to that bare minimum obstruction they should be doing but aren't, they could also be working on the policy and people that they see winning in 2028. Where is the Democrat's own "Project 2029" document? The Heritage Foundation has been publishing their detailed, written plans since at least Reagan. Where is the Democrat's version of Trump that can win back rural populists? Why isn't he on TV every day hyping up their base like Trump hypes up his base?

I would solve this using the equivalent of a service account - I would give that "agent" an identity - "CodeBot" or whatever - and then that as an actor which has permission to read things on Jira, permission to send notifications to Slack, permission to access the GitHub API etc.

Then I would control who had permission to tell that to do, and log everything in detail.

> but are frequently overlooked to hire cheap, low-skill Java devs to write "yet another Spring app".

Yeah, that’s why I labeled it culture since it was totally a business failure with contracting companies basically doing the “why hire these expensive people when we get paid the same either way?” No point at ranting about the language, it can’t fix the business but unfortunately there’s a ton of inertia around that kind of development and a lot of people have been trained that way. I imagine this must be very frustrating for the Java team at Oracle knowing that their hard work is going to be buried by half of the users.

OK to your credit your original request was to get this all working in a single html file. That is not possible with the easy paths documented on ffmpeg.

By default, the build relies on web workers which need to load their code from somewhere (and usually it has to be the same origin as the code making the request)

Through much mastery of JS build systems that I would not wish on my enemies, I bet you could get it working on localhost, but you’ll have a much better time of it if you set up vite or something for a local build. You can still easily do a “serverless” deploy with GitHub pages or similar but you do need an http server correctly configured for asset requests.

I get where it's historically coming from, but the combination of American courts having almost infinite discovery rights (to be paid by the losing party, no less, greatly increasing legal risk even to people and companies not out to litigate) and the result of said discoveries ending up on the public record seems like a growing problem.

There's a qualitative difference resulting from quantitatively much easier access (querying some database vs. having to physically look through court records) and processing capabilities (an army of lawyers reading millions of pages vs. anyone, via an LLM) that doesn't seem to be accounted for.

Well, it is gonna be all _AI Companies_ very soon so unless everyone switches to local models which don't really have the same degree of profitability as a SaaS, its probably not going to kill a company to have less user privacy because tbh people are used to not having privacy these days on the internet.

It certainly will kill off the few companies/people trusting them with closed source code or security related stuff but you really should not outsource that anywhere.

While I admit I shouldn't be defending Tesla for free - I've come to realize a lot of these "FSD crashed into me and Elon is hiding it!" claims usually come down to the user driving recklessly then using FSD as a get out of jail free card.

FSDs failures are either far more boring (imagining a stop sign) or put's the user in danger (driving onto train tracks).

Musk is on the outs because if he didn't leave his post within another week or so as he was a temporary government employee. In other words, had he stayed, he would have had to publicly disclose a ton of personal financial information.

Him "leaving" was part of the plan, and this fallout was most likely part of the charade.

They probably ditched the transceiver because it weighed 40-60lbs, which is a lot of extra weight for something that you don't need, based upon "success oriented" planning.

(The linked article says Earhart didn't know enough about radio, either to convert from wavelength to frequency, or to match an antenna to the transmitter. Such knowledge was probably rare in 1937.)

Not everyone exercises perfect control over the activities of their mind, and not every thought is carefully selected for optimum results before thinking it.

The point is just that even altruistic people, who one might presume are disinclined to such judgments, can find themselves making them after a time.

Besides, the doctor in my example was not even judging people, merely expressing exasperation at the inability for the resources expended to hit their intended targets. No one likes to feel like their work is meaningless, and getting paid (in public funds, no less) for patients who don’t show up might feel meaningless.

I’ve long thought that embodiment was a critical prerequisite for the development of something that humans would identify as “real” AGI.

Humans are notoriously bad at recognizing intelligence even in animals that are clearly sentient, have language, name their young, and clearly share the realm of thinking creatures with the apes.

This is largely due to the lack of shared experiences that we can easily understand and relate to. Until an intelligence is rooted in the physical realm where we fundamentally exist, we are unlikely to really be able to recognize its existence as truly “intelligent”.

Since March these libraries, along with others, have all been [unable to use Apple iOS app store authentication blocking any downloads. This is a usual cat and mouse game of Apple fixing/patching/changing and various third parties trying to keep up. For some reason this time was different and Apple went back on their changes after 3 months.

There are two main libraries, among others ipatool https://github.com/majd/ipatool/ and ipswm https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw/, that are used to download the IPA files. (https://github.com/majd/ipatool/issues/357).

June 2025 update: Aaand their back! Without any fixes from the public, all the existing tools are working again. This is much different and seems to indicate that Apple either walked back their changes.

Notably, this happened after the recent antitrust measures, so I discussed that a bit in the blog.

In all the commercial mechanical CAD packages I've seen, the default libraries are pretty weak. Each organization needs to dig in to build out the standard parts libraries to cover the basics of fasteners, bearings, etc. I think the data needed for CAD AI to work properly is going to be processing the various industrial standards from SAE, DIN, ISO, AGMA, etc to properly implement standard interfaces. I suspect it is going to be more of a tool matching AI, where there are library calls that have the explicit technical definitions of various mechanical items, and the AI is coordinating them.

But a lot of the data needed to train an AI is probably locked up in user company product lifecycle management systems. Autodesk is probably going to be out front in any AI wave of CAD with all the data they are accumulating in their Fusion 360 cloud. The main question for me is whether they will pull a Kodak and not develop it for fear of cannibalizing their current market, or not.

I'm happy now, but I have a more optimistic take. I believe that humanity could make progress in conquering unhappiness, disease or even death. While happiness levels possibly didn't improve as much as we expected in the last 1000 years, we did eliminate much misery in the world. Losing loved ones to diseases is bad, among many improvements we made. So, I think that in 1000 years, our descendants may be living in an objectively better world - possibly even without the gadgets we rely on so much for our happiness today.

Without the Axis-branded SD card, they axe or deteriorate access to the cameras from mobile devices.

Namely, you cannot add the camera to a site for access from Camera Station Edge. This applies to both the desktop and mobile flavors of the software.

On the desktop version of Edge, there's a little-known hack you can make to a config file to override the behavior. But this means you need to drag a computer to the physical site for the initial provisioning.

There is no such override available on the mobile app.

(Also depending exactly how you provision, the Storage, Motion Detection and Continuous Recording toggles will be disabled when viewing the device in Edge).

It's a weird place to gatekeep, and reeks of pure sales / marketing driven impetus.

I think it's fair to question how proprietary your data is.

Like there's the algorithm by which a hedge fund is doing algorithmic trading, they'd be insane to take the risk. Then there's the code for a video game, it's proprietary, but competitors don't benefit substantially from an illicit copy. You ship the compiled artifacts to everyone, so the logic isn't that secret. Copies of the similar source code have linked before with no significant effects.
