I love animals, I love people, I love dancing Down-syndrome people.

The question is who is responsible for them and what it means to those or society.

Let those ethicists take care of a Down-syndrome person one year, then ask them again.

About lifestyle and such.

Ethicize can everybody. The real questions are more down to earth. Pun not intended.

By the way, my partner and I are of different views and because of her I know there are very different types, some are totally self sufficient and work.

As always, truth is somewhere in between. Do not eradicate, let people choose. There will be people who terminate, others will not. Let those people pay a share who take the risk and then put their child to social care. But be human and society should help and pay a big ahsre too.

How much? I have no idea. We would need the exact numbers, other social projects, a good discussion forum, tests before people comment. I probably have no ida about Down syndrome and still, I am just being commenting.

I think generally a big misunderstanding that there is one solution and one way. We should always just find a middle way, listening to each other, learning, voting, discussing. Keeping freedom of choice and responsibility of own choices in balance.

My own takeaway after looking at corporate codebases for four decades is that the state of the art in software development at banks, governments, insurance companies, airlines, health care and so on is such that I long for the time before the internet.

Sure, those mainframes from the 80's weren't bullet proof either. But you first had to get to them. And even if the data traveled in plain text on leased lines (point-to-point but not actually point-to-point (that would require a lot of digging), no multiplexing) you had to physically move to the country where they were located to eavesdrop on them, and injecting data into the stream was a much harder problem.

The problem: what if the government fails to provide a competitive entrant?

We must NOT expect the government to excel at anything. We must assume it is, and will always be, a mediocre follower of established playbooks. To ensure the government accomplishes X, we must stress in the playbook that X is mandated and cannot be compromised in any way.

You cannot mandate competitiveness.

Your logic seems to fall apart here.

> an operating system which essentially handles all of your private data.

This is exactly why one should continue using GrapheneOS as it is by far the best, most secure and private option. If you do not agree with one project member about something that is not related to the technical features of the project, it does not matter, since you can not be targeted with any GOS updates. Same updates would have to go to all GOS users and as stated before, the previous project leader has a stellar reputation when it comes to their work and prior actions regarding users security and privacy.

> the artist being "Google" and all their controversial practices

You believing this is a problem, you should then be using an iPhone anyway.

You are worrying GOS devs might push a malicious update, even when there are no proofs of that happening? What prevents the same from happening with other projects that are already inferior in every way? You are implying people should switch to less secure options because of this one thing that also applies to all other options? It does not make any sense and seems dishonest.

I like the idea. I haven't used the tool, but what I'd love to (maybe it already does this) is to be able to take a recording and turn it into a text document showing what to run, what output to expect and so on.

Something that lets one turn a terminal recording into a document showing how to redo that thing without having to watch a video and no need to copy/paste between terminal and text editor, take screenshots and such.

Maybe this could be achieved by recording in a human readable file format and then running it via an LLM with right prompt.

Then I'd like it to record all the time.

I always have a bunch of tmux sessions running. I've set it up to save the history of all sessions, but obviously the history is one file. Something like this could resolve it nicely.

This is what Keith Olbermann said. He personally detests Colbert for wrecking Letterman's set and more, but would've brought up if it was for political reasons if it were. Network TV/cable operations, especially expensive shows like Colbert, are dinosaur businesses.

Generally, the demos for network TV is 70-80+ years and not much else.

Agree. I stopped reading after the blurb below because it tells me this person has not actually even used Copilot or Cursor to a serious degree. This is an AI-written sentence that seems fine, but is actually complete nonsense.

> Each tool has carved out its own niche in the development workflow: Copilot excels at enhancing your typing speed with intelligent code completion, Cursor at debugging and helping you implement discrete tasks well, and recently pushing more into agentic territory.

Cursor's autocomplete blows Copilot's out of the water. And both Copilot and Cursor have pretty capable agents. Plus, Claude Code isn't even mentioned here.

This blog post is a Kiro advertisement, not a serious comparative analysis.

We were given 1 in 21 from the nuchal transparency on the 12 week scan, then we did CVS testing to find out for sure.

Terminating on 1/100 without any further testing seems crazy to me. Of course, our scans and screening were all 'free' on the NHS, so there was no cost to getting extra data.
Ask HN: How will 6G change enterprise networking in the next decade?
by selenedyxx | 2025-07-25 10:00:18+00:00
6G is still in the early research phase, but it promises massive changes in speed, latency, and connectivity. I’m interested in hearing from network engineers and IT professionals: how do you think 6G will reshape enterprise networking over the next 10 years? What new opportunities or challenges do you foresee?

Our official website has been officially launched, and the features are expected to go live by the end of the month. https://www.scribify.ai/

Why do we need to develop a product for meeting transcription and audio transcription?

Based on the existing products on the market, we have found that some of them have poor accuracy, sometimes confusing speakers, and even requiring manual proofreading. Some with relatively high accuracy are priced quite expensively.

Therefore, we hope to resolve these issues.

We've set a price that is possibly the lowest across the entire network, enabling everyone to obtain the same or even better experience at a lower cost.

If you pay for the service, you can transcribe without limit, with no quantity restrictions. Of course, there is also a free version available, with 3 uses per day.

We support a variety of video and audio formats, such as MP3, MP4, M4A, MOV, AAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, MPEG, WMA, WMV, etc.

Once you have completed transcription, you can export it in formats such as PDF, DOCX, Excel, CSV, SRT, TXT, VTT, etc.

Moreover, after testing, its accuracy is relatively satisfactory, accurately identifying speakers and supporting over 100 languages.

We would be very grateful if you could experience it and provide feedback to us!

> Extensive athletic physical activity, becoming an athlete, are at odds with working an office job. You can get out of work and go play soccer for 2-3 hours every day instead of doing household chores, pursuing other hobbies, etc, but most people won't - it's a huge ask.

> Becoming an athlete or doing extensive athletics takes a huge time commitment. Eating less does not.

Yet perhaps taking a huge time commitment during which you won't be able to eat much is exactly what is needed.

Yeah, 4 buses sounds terrible. I already don't like it when my trip to that one fancy office is bus-metro-tram instead of just bus/tram and metro. I would totally hate if buses in question were overcrowded, smelling hobos and not having a schedule.

Is this the usual European supremacy propaganda? Yes, of course it is.

> after his mental illness became clear.

Here you are again in yet another comment repeating these baseless claims about mental illness.

> think about attack scenarios that could occur when the main developer of your OS is not trustworthy in the slightest.

First of all, he's not the main developer. There are multiple developers. The other developers do most of the development work these days.

But to say that the OS is untrustworthy is completely false. You say GrapheneOS's founder has a mental illness based on watching a video where someone turned malicious toward the project recorded a conversation where the founder was extremely upset after being swatted multiple times.

The update client doesn't send identifiers when checking for updates, and the update servers only have static files saved to them. You're making stuff up here, and clearly trying to turn people off of using GrapheneOS by repeating baseless claims that the founder is crazy and fake worries of being targeted by them.

> The community of emacs editing enthusiasts was adamant that the full emacs editor not be included in IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 because they were concerned that an attempt to standardize this very powerful environment would encourage vendors to ship versions conforming strictly to the standard, but lacking the extensibility required by the community. The author of the original emacs program also expressed his desire to omit the program. Furthermore, there were a number of historical UNIX systems that did not include emacs, or included it without supporting it, but there were very few that did not include and support vi.

I feel it’s both similar and different this time around. While 6G rollout will face challenges much like 5G—such as infrastructure upgrades and security—what sets it apart is the era of artificial intelligence we’re entering. AI won’t just optimize network management and resource allocation; it will enable real-time predictive maintenance, dynamic traffic routing, and autonomous security threat detection. These capabilities could significantly reduce downtime and improve efficiency but also require new skill sets and raise concerns about AI decision transparency and control. So, while some challenges echo 5G’s, the complexity and scale introduced by AI integration make 6G a fundamentally different beast.

I find it extremist and inflammatory this reoccurring—frankly conservative—tendency on HN to police any strong polemic criticism as "hyperbole" and "inflammatory". People should learn to take criticism is stride, not every strongly critical comment ought to be socially censored by tone policing it. The comparison to Louvre was a funny comment and if people didn't get that perhaps it is not too far-fetched to suggest improving on basic literary-device literacy skills.

What are you going to do when China invades Taiwan, though?

If rumors are to be believed, TSMC will scuttle their fabs before they fall into Chinese hands. Even if they don't, or fail to execute, Taiwan-based chip production will be disrupted for years.

Bet you'll be happy that TSMC has fabs in the US, despite your understandable misgivings.

True privacy is such a rare commodity these days. It’s a breath of fresh forest air to enter an OS unwatched, allowing your mind to be free.

Not to get too deep, but contemporary philosophy posits that our phones have become extensions of our brains (not only theoretically, but literally! See e.g. Andy Clark and David Chalmers, “The Extended Mind,” 1998). Our devices have access to profound parts of our lives— our habits, friends, desires, notes, thoughts… With something this fundamental, it’s vital to have privacy.

Thank you, Graphene team, for all the hard work you do.

how would a group hound the processors in the other direction?

also, how are these "puritan" groups doing the hounding? I mean, are they threatening some kind of legal action? based on old (or not so old) obscenity laws?

could the against hounding group do the same? on what legal basis? or is it enough to do the usual "securities fraud" angle?

maybe what matters is how much money the hounding group credibly has to spend on lawyers?

Researchers have discovered that the cowpea mosaic virus (from black-eyed peas) can activate the human immune system to attack cancer cells, without infecting human tissue.

Unlike other plant viruses, CPMV triggers a strong interferon response, making it a promising, low-cost immunotherapy. The team is moving toward clinical trials, and the approach could open a new front in cancer treatment using plant-based biotechnology.

Is this a viable treatment and can we one day stop using Chemotherapy?

> Rossmann's data or himself could be targeted through malicious code pushed via an update, for example. While GOS is opensource and malicious code or exploits could be detected by the community, he himself did not have confidence to audit the source code to make sure it was safe, hence his decision to stop using.

This isn't even possible given how updates on GrapheneOS work. The update client doesn't send identifiers to the update server, and the update server only hosts static files.

Rossmann either doesn't understand this, or he made it up to get more views, or possibly to entertain fellow Kiwi Farms members.

To be honest, I don't think that he didn't understand that he couldn't be targeted. He continued using GrapheneOS for months after the video. As I understand it, it was clear in a few videos months after the initial video was published.

Around 2014 I bought one way ticket to Morocco in order to simply vanish and die.

I ended up traveling all to south to Mauretania, comming back and becoming well known poor but very popular street perfume seller in Marrakesh.

I came back after buring my friend who got stabbed to death around one year later...

Then I become successful backend programmer and husband.

Now I'm after divorce, jobless for 3 years and homeless for 1 month.

I consider going back to African mountains and desert everyday...

I’ve seen this exact workflow (PDF → extract data → update structured files) come up a lot, and it’s impressive that Claude handled it end-to-end like that. We’ve been building Retab.com to handle those kinds of tasks more reliably, especially when you want structured output (like JSON) from messy documents like PDFs, scans, or even images. Instead of writing ad-hoc scripts or chaining LLM calls, you just upload the file, define what you want (via schema), and it gives you clean structured data. It’s AI-native but deterministic, no need to install PyPDF2 or debug model behavior. Just wanted to share in case others are solving similar problems repeatedly.

I am only familiar with MLIR for accelerator-specific compilation, but my understanding is that by describing operations at a higher level, you don’t need the frontend to know what LLVM IR will lead to the best final performance. For instance you could say "perform tiled matrix multiplication" instead of "multiply and add while looping in this arbitrary indexing pattern", and an MLIR pass can reason about what pattern to use and take whatever hints you’ve given it. This is especially helpful when some implementations should be different depending on previous/next ops and what your target hardware is. I think there’s no reason Zig can’t do something like this internally, but MLIR is an existing way to build primitives at several different levels of abstraction. From what I’ve heard it’s far from ergonomic for compiler devs, though…

Eyewitnesses can help clarify fault in a crash, but many injury claims succeed without them. California law doesn’t require a witness—only proof that someone else’s negligence caused your injury.

Most crashes happen on side streets, in parking lots, or when no one is watching. So how do you prove fault without a witness?

By building a case with hard evidence:

– Dashcam or surveillance footage – Police reports and 911 records – Photos of skid marks, debris, damage – Vehicle GPS/speed data – Expert reconstruction – Medical reports showing trauma consistent with crash mechanics

These facts often tell a clearer story than memory-based testimony.

If there were no witnesses:

File a police report. It timestamps the event and adds legal weight.

Seek immediate medical care. Delays weaken your claim.

Document the scene with photos. Even one skid mark helps.

Let your attorney talk to the insurer—never go it alone.

How attorneys win these cases:

Gather and analyze physical evidence like damage patterns, weather, traffic light data, etc.

Use expert testimony to reconstruct the crash using physics and data.

Leverage your injuries as proof—medical records can tell the story.

Pull digital proof: black box data, GPS logs, phone records.

“When there are no witnesses, the truth lies in the details,” says Sasha Bojat of Bojat Law Group. “We use everything from camera footage to medical scans to prove what happened—and we don’t leave gaps for insurers to exploit.”

Worried your claim won’t hold up? At Bojat Law Group, we build cases that speak for themselves—even when no one else was there to see it.

Then what are the other issues? Because you repeatedly cited that as the reason it makes it ironic.

I told you why I am talking about torrent. No one has a legit copy of Windows 11, no one actually buys it here, especially not individuals. Companies might.

Oh yeah, how would they know Windows 11 is the latest if not by looking it up?

Either way, as I said, someone will be asked to install an OS, or they will buy computers with an OS pre-installed (and they will eventually ask, even then). None of which require them to pick anything.

After the IMO gold by 2 labs, also gold by independent researchers with public gemini, silver by a team from china, and so on I wonder where the goal posts are heading. I distinctly remember a sit down with LeCun (I think it was after GPT4 launched, there was also a young guy from MS there) where he confidently said that "yes, yes, they work on poetry but they don't work on math. Call me when they solve hard math problems". Well, someone call him, dunno.

Really interesting project, love the idea of skipping traditional ETL by generating structured views on demand.

We’re building something in a similar space at Retab.com, but with a different philosophy: instead of querying live across unstructured sources, we focus on reliably turning raw inputs (PDFs, scanned docs, images, etc.) into clean, structured outputs, using schema-guided LLM generation, multi-model consensus, and an evaluation dashboard. So it’s less about on-the-fly queries, and more about building robust pipelines where you can trust the output and audit how it was produced. Curious if you’ve thought about integrating evaluation or schema validation layers downstream, or if SwellDB is mainly about exploration? Excited to follow the project either way!

The older I get the more I just see these kinds of threads like I see politics: Exaggerate your "opponents" weaknesses, underplay/ignore its strengths and so on. So if something no matter how disproportionate can be construed to be, or be associate with, a current zeitgeist with a negative sentiment, it's an opportunity to gain ground.

I really don't understand why people get so obsessed with their tools that it turns into a political battleground. It's a means to an end. Not the end itself.

Is it really a strawman? At some point, the code would need to identify rossmann. Please elaborate on the techniques required to do it and how it could be obfuscated.

GOS doesn't use an account, so the code would have to perform very targeted heuristics in order to verify this is Luis' phone. It would have to compare his sim number against a known one, or dig into application data to find his logins and compare them against known emails. So the only way to not write `if (user is rossmann)` would be to send various diagnostics over the wire, to a service that contains these identifiers and perform the comparison onlinr, meaning he would introduce an imense security whole into everyone's phone, and everyone would see there is a home calling.

So it's either a patch of if user == rossmann, or a home calling patch.

> I'm sorry, what? Those with Down's Syndrome are people, with all the emotions and experiences that entails. If they are supported, nurtured and loved then they'll lead correspondingly happy lives.

Heartily agree! My question was a reaction to the last line in the parent comment:

> If a child can't achieve independence and a life of their own, why let all parties suffer through that ordeal?

I’m sorry that I didn’t make that as clear as I could have.

* * *

I’ve seen the negativity on Reddit and, now, here. Some of that is based on historical reality: the standards for medical care and early intervention have dramatically improved outcomes for people with DS even just in my lifetime. It turns out that if you don’t believe a child is capable of, say, reading, then you don’t bother teaching them to read. This becomes a self-fulfilling diagnosis. And not too long ago, many kids with DS had inner ear damage from undetected ear infections, leading to hearing loss and difficulty communicating. As we learn more about what’s possible and what needs monitoring in kids with DS, long-term outcomes get better and better.

This recent (~last 20-40 years) improvement means there’s still a visible cohort of people who didn’t receive that level of care and probably are less independent. But I’d also suggest that there’s sample bias in anecdotes on Reddit. Like with product reviews: the vast majority in the middle don’t bother to post, and negative experiences get more emotional traction than positive ones.

The range of associated medical conditions is long and scary. But no individual gets all, or even many, of those conditions. And a lot of the scariest/most complicated stuff is correctable early post-natal (heart surgeries are common) or end of life (early appearance of dementia is unfortunately still the likely outcome for most people with DS). Medicine continues to make progress, and I think outcomes will continue to dramatically improve.
