I see it 3 fundamental pillars:

* Accuracy (does it do what we want) * Reliability (does it consistently do what we want) * Speed (does it do what we want fast)

We're mostly focused on solving 1 and maybe in some capacity 2.

The belief here is that models are going to get better. With that smaller models will become more capable. This will result in speed ups automatically.

So yes, I will concur that speed is probably not the main strength of our framework right now, but believe that we will get there with time.

YouTube Kids is exempt from the ban, this one should have been banned first because the sheer amount of smoothbrain content.

Channels like cocomelon and AI-generated songs with weird visuals are played on infinite loop with a mobile stand holding the phone in front of the child's pram while the parents pay no attention- and the children are hooked onto it as if they are hypnotized.

These videos in early stage of childhood has a very strong impact on environmental awareness and vocabulary of the children.

> Why do I have to provide it? The burden is the other way around.

Well, it sounds like you have an axe to grind, but I didn’t ask to “prove” anything; I was curious to learn what was meant by the bad-performance claim. I don’t program in any of these technologies; I don’t have a horse in this race.

Let’s try this again:

I added 6 mosquitofish to my 110 gallon container pond two months ago. There are now nearly 100 in there, and the mosquito count in my back yard has definitely diminished.

Cool mosquitofish facts:

- An adult female can eat between 300-400 mosquito larvae in a single day.

- They're highly tolerant of low-oxygen and high-temperature water. They're hardy fish.

- They're native to North America, so pose little risk to getting into the water system, as they're already there.

- They're so effective at reducing mosquito populations, some local governments give them out for free.

you might enjoy Lem! for ages i thought it was an editor _for_ common lisp, and then i learned the other day that it has built in lsp mode and highlighting for typescript and lots of other langs. it's pretty good!

though i highly recommend writing your own editor. there aren't really any editors out there that can provide what emacs can provide someone who's been using it for almost a decade.

Choice is good but here is why prefer Ollama over others (I'm biased because I work on Ollama).

Supporting multiple backends is HARD. Originally, we thought we'd just add multiple backends to Ollama - MLX, ROCm, TRT-LLM, etc. It sounds really good on paper. In practice, you get into the lowest common denominator effect. What happens when you want to release Model A together with the model creator, and backend B doesn't support it? Do you ship partial support? If you do, then you start breaking your own product experience.

Supporting Vulkan for backwards compatibility on some hardware seems simple right? What if I told you in our testing, there is a portion of the supported hardware matrix getting -20% decrease in performance. What about just cherry picking which hardware to use Vulkan vs ROCm vs CUDA, etc? Do you start managing a long and tedious support matrix, where each time a driver is updated, the support may shift?

Supporting flash attention sounds simple too right? What if I told you over 20% of the hardware and for specific models, enabling it will cause non-trivial amount errors pertaining to specific hardware/model combinations? We are almost in a spot, where we can selectively enable flash attention per type of model architecture and hardware architecture.

It's so easy to add features, and hard to say no, but given any day, I will stand for a better overall product experience (at least to me since it's very subjective). No is temporary and yes is forever.

Ollama focuses on running the model the way the model creators intended. I know we get a lot of negativity on naming but often times, it's what we work with the model creators on naming (which surprisingly may or may not be how another platform named it on release). Overtime, I think this means more focus on top models to optimize more and add capabilities to augment the models.

OMG could you imagine writing MMC snap-ins using some sort of plugin declspec import bs in C++? .Net and reflection with Assembly.Load saves so much time and effort to build modular “ship it now, deliver features later, extend it if we fall behind” apps. Not that those are good things, it just means you can defer until your MS PM gets the budget to fill those backfill positions that have been open for 12 months because the hiring bar is astrophysics

There are also cities in Europe where Muslim women are harassed for wearing a hijab, where mosques are either illegal to construct or vandalized outright, and hotels in which refugees from Arab countries are torched in race riots.

>A couple of months ago a religious jew tried to walk through London, and a police officer stopped him because there’s a pro Palestinian protest, and his presence there would be inflammatory.

Gideon Falter is rather specifically a pro-Israel campaigner who, per a 13-minute filmed exchange with the officer involved, had behaved provocatively towards protesters, and was accompanied by members of Isaac Herzog's security detail. The clip that was widely circulated omits this context. But even if it was as clear-cut as Falter makes it out to be, it would be weird to cite this incident of one cop being a racist dope as evidence of endemic antisemitism in Europe - Orthodox Jews frequently participate in such protests, after all.

I think "insular rural folk" are often literate enough to see highfalutin dick-bags like yourself coming and don't want to be associated with that level of disdainful pretense.

I work in project management for a massive multi-national, about as "businessy business" as you can get, and my moon-shining, hog-raising cousins give me shit for being a sellout (we grew up showing and milking cows together) but we all still can sense a vibe about "certain types from the big city" that's more about respect and shared culture that any sort of financial, social, political, or other illiteracy/incompetence.

> Having left the church, it's much clearer to me that Arabs and Jews have both lived there for thousands of years

Yes, and there was a lot of mixing and slow but gradual conversion to the dominant socio-cultural muslim group that happened over more than a millenium. After the muslim conquest of Levant in about 630 AD, caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab lifted the Christian ban on Jews entering Jerusalem some time later during his reign. We do not have data on how many jews decided to return there, rather than keep living in civilizational centres across the region and in Europe.

What we do know is that the jewish population of Palestine at the time that the British government initiated the process of handing over Palestine to jews in return for Lord Rothschild's money that they needed to keep fighting WW1 [2], was only about 7%. Subsequent immigration of mostly European jews into Palestine, resulted in about 30% jewish population by the time Western powers decided to declare an independent Jewish-dominated state of Israel on top of Palestine in 1947.

> Both have a right to exist and the capacity to live peacefully together

Brutal occupation has no right to exist. The supremacist state has to go. Apartheid South Africa had to go, and now South Africa is a better country. Nazi Germany had to go, and now Germany is a better country. Imperial colonial Japan had to go, and now both itself and its former colonized territories are better countries. Supremacist ethno-nationalist Israel that occupies natives of the land it was established upon with despicable brutality has to go. In the resulting state that comes after it, yes, people of any religion and ethnicity need to be able to live together in peace. After reparations have been made, the right of return has been honored, most of the stolen land has been given back, and apartheid has been dismantled.

> If you're optimizing memory use for that, it's really about runtime speed and less about total memory usage. You're trying to make things small so you have fewer cache misses and the CPU doesn't get stuck waiting as much.

The complication is that cache is a global resource. Code that has larger data structures, even if it runs faster, can contribute to a larger working set and a slightly higher cache miss rate in other code. This can lead to a death-by-thousand cuts scenario and it's hard to get solid data on this when profiling.

You're right, though, that there are a number of ways that smaller structs can be slower, either directly by execution time or indirectly by larger code causing more misses in the instruction cache. Some other factors include whether the compiler can coalesce accesses to multiple fields grouped together, or whether the struct hits a magic power of two size for faster array indexing or vectorization. Which means you can end up speeding up code occasionally by making the struct bigger.

This is likely an OpenAI model as it's relatively easy to get the model to admit to it without leading, however it generates tokens at ~124 tokens/s which is far faster than a GPT-5 class model (GPT-4.1 is 93 tokens/s) and its context window is only 256k so it's likely something more unusual, perhaps the open source model.

Feelings are important because they affect us. They can hurt just as much as the physical. It's a condition of the mind, not the 'soul'. That doesn't make it any less real for the person experiencing those feelings. The concept of a soul was invented, as some entity that survives after death. So that even people with nothing to lose in life could be forced to conform using the many threats religion makes to their 'afterlife'.

And LGBTIQ+ is not an ideology. People don't choose who they are attracted to. That's a conservative myth invented to make it seem like people are 'converted' to being gay or trans and that thus this could be prevented or reverted. There is no ideology nor agenda and it just is. We don't convert people. That's again a projection of something that religions do. They have agendas and conversion.

And I don't care about what the SCOTUS says. They are completely irrelevant where I live (and they should be in the US too as they are heavily politicised by the appointment process by the president).

The LLM + agentic framework supplements many core dev skills including sporadic habits of tirelessly testing things, spec-driven development (thinking what you’re gonna make before you do), and debugging.

Some devs may have all of these, some may lack several.

I certainly benefit from having a better overview while vibe-coding: I don’t get lost in some rabbit-hole trying to optimise something that is good enough, and my most important tasks are always well-defined before I start.

> Are we sure per capita GDP is the measure we want to use, though?

Oh I completely agree that GDP is a terrible measure of prosperity (and even median income is lacking, as you noticed). But I was not using it to measure individual/median prosperity, but the overall material wealth of the country, to debunk the assertion that a single teacher's salary could comfortably sustain a family then only because of a unique, brief set of circumstances that materially enriched the US.

But that’s not what history shows us. The subway with the second most ridership in the US is WMATA. How did they get there? By going big with their plans in the 1960s. All the systems that thought small in that era (MARTA, BART, LA Metro) have much lower ridership to this day.

There is a good basis to this. Every new mile and station you add to a system compounds on the size of the system. The 11th station connects you to 10 places. The 51st station connects you to 50 places. Build small and you never get the critical mass needed to see widespread adoption.

You want to run dynamic workloads on a PC? As in a desktop PC? That is clearly a completely different market than Oxide serves.

Or do you mean PC as in rackmounted servers? If that's what you meant, PC is a very poor word for it. That's kind of the point Oxide made from the beginning. Why are you running server workloads on a PC with a funny shape? Why do you need 84 power supplies (2/shelf) in your rack? Why do you need any keyboard or graphics controllers? Why don't you design for purpose a rack-sized server?

Or did you mean exactly what you wrote: "a PC"? You only need one server, not a whole rack's worth? Again, that is not the market Oxide is targeting.

Or you need to be able to run "dynamic workloads" that could require 40-4000 CPUs? You need hypervisors and orchestration, etc.? And you don't want them to be Solaris, or to run on Solaris? And you know all about Hubris and you don't want that either? But you think it would be nice if they weren't Linux? Maybe if they were modern microkernels written in something like Rust? But not the Hubris microkernel written in Rust?

I'm going to have to take you at your word. Your needs are "a bit of a different world" than Oxide fits.

But it's pretty cool that you still got some friendly personal attention from two big-name Oxide employees who seem willing to try to help you if they can. If you ever do find yourself in a world that aligns with theirs it appears that they are willing to try to accommodate you.

I do not agree with your postulate that funding any medical research necessarily brings "long-term benefits for society and also result in a net increase in happiness and productivity".

Surely that needs proving. And it seems quite hard for the argument trivially collapses if said research is done by incompetents who misinterpret results, is done by frauds who fake the results, or if the money given is squandered isntead of researching, or if the research results are not written down and shared.
Show HN: Host Claude Artifacts on your own domain
by ed | 2025-07-31 01:01:24+00:00
Hi HN, I've been using Claude to generate landing pages and it's a huge time-saver.

But, it's hard to go from Artifact -> Published website. That's where Artifact Ninja comes in.

How it works: 1. Click "Copy" above your artifact in Claude.ai and paste into Artifact.Ninja 2. We'll generate a static webpage without any Claude branding 3. Use your registrar's "masked forwarding" feature to connect a custom domain

Artifact Ninja is a quick utility I needed for my own purposes. It's cheap to host (Cloudflare worker + D1), so it's free! Hope it helps.

We thought of that demo with like a week or two to go before the event when we realized we needed something more visceral than a blinking cursor :)

So, it stayed with the world because it went semi viral in some tiny circles. But it didn’t stay with me because I personally learned little from it.

The thing that stays with me is all the things I learned spending years trying to implement an API you can describe in ~30 seconds really well. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to go so deep on a problem in a career.

> I had a PM at my company (with an engineering background) post AI generated slop in a ticket this week. It was very frustrating.

This is likely because LLM's solve for document creation which "best" match the prompt, via statistical consensus based on their training data-set.

> We asked them: "Where is xyz code". It didn't exist, it was a hallucination. We asked them: "Did you validated abc use cases?" no they did not.

So many people mistake the certainty implicit in commercial LLM responses as correctness, largely due to how people typically interpret similar content made by actual people when the latter's position supports the former's. It's a confluence of Argument from authority[0] and Subjective validation[1].

How is that relevant? Is your thought process that the government should just shrug say “oh those dastardly hamas guys got us this time. Fair play on the torture, mutilation, rape and kidnapping. They got our people fair and square they can keep them”

Would you say the same if a bunch of iraqis murdered and raped your family due to what we did under Bush?

Not really sure what point you’re trying to make. Its the governments job to punish those who hurt their citizens and ensure that it doesn’t happen again.

All of these tools definitely help for the people who use them. In particular, the manylinux standard and associated tools are why I can reliably `pip install numpy` without even thinking about whether it will work, and regardless of whether (on Linux) there is a system package for OpenBLAS (which will be disregarded, unless of course you use a system-packaged version of Numpy instead). But there are also definitely still unmet needs.

> Israel doesn't really have a charter,

It has a series of Basic Laws that serve that function (they are expressly a solution to the failure initially to pass a Constitution and are intended to be compiled once complete into a Constitution), but while some of them are problematic on grounds that touch on the Israel-Palestine conflict, I don't think any of them call for the destruction of Palestine (which isn't to say that most Israeli leaders since Israeli occupied the West Bank and Gaza haven't done something like that, but that's a different issue than the Basic Laws doing it.)

When Hitler asked the King of Moroco to hand over all the jews living there , the King replied that there wrre only Morocans living in Moroco, and he wasn't handing any of them over. Also many muslims voluntered and fought the Nazi's from all over the world, as indivuals and as soldiers in colonial army's. As to jews bieng kicked out, no thats not true, and to this day there is an ongoing effort to get jews to emigrate out of the US or wherever in an attempt to bolster the demographics of there ethnostate......which is currently facing the largest out migration,ever.....

> In the late 90s and early 2000s we as teenagers had access to unfiltered internet and unregulated. The harm to us were largely moral fanaticism, this was when they also tried to ban video games because of violent content and now we have complete censorship and control over what games can sell or not on steam.

I get your point but I don't agree.

I mean, politicians back then were actually right in assuming that danger looms on the Internet. They just were completely wrong about what was the danger. Everyone and their dog thought that the danger was porn, violent video games (Columbine and Erfurt certainly didn't help there), gore videos (anyone 'member RottenCom), shocker sites (RIP Goatse), more porn, oh and did I say they were afraid of boobs? Or even of cars "shaking" when you picked up a sex worker in GTA and parked in a bush?

What they all missed though was the propaganda, the nutjobs, the ability of all the village idiots of the entire world that were left to solitude by society to now organize, the drive of monetization. That's how we got 4chan which began decent (Project Chanology!) but eventually led to GamerGate, 8chan and a bunch of far-right terrorists; social media itself fueled lynch mobs, enabled enemy states to distribute propaganda at a scale never before seen in the history of humanity and may or may not have played a pivotal role in many a regime change (early Twitter, that was a time...); and now we got EA and a whole bunch of free to play mobile games shoving microtransactions down our children's throats. Tetris of all things just keeps shoving gambling ads in your face after each level. The kids we're not gonna lose to far-right propaganda, we're gonna lose to fucking casinos.

We should have brought down the hammer hard on all of that crap instead of wasting our energy on trying to prevent teenagers from having a good old fashioned wank.

anyone who has been online for more than 5 years and didn’t see this coming from a mile away weren’t putting much thought into it.

we’ve heard nothing but laughable excuses from these companies for years ‘oh, we can’t, it would cost money…’ well, you’re some of the richest companies in history…

if these companies had done even a mediocre amount all of us wouldn’t be getting screwed.
