It's a logic I fully agree with. As the owner of the computer, you should of course be able to do whatever you want. The APIs should still be designed around sandboxing and security though.

I only trust free software, and only after I have read its source code and evaluated the distribution channel. I don't want proprietary obfuscated third party code running on my computer without some serious sandboxing and virtualization limiting access to everything. I went so far as to virtualize an entire Linux system because I wanted to play video games and didn't trust video game companies with any sort of privileged or low level access to my real Linux system.

Malicious actors are known for buying up popular extensions that are already trusted by their user base and replacing them with malware via updates. The proper technological solition to such abuses is to make them literally impossible. Exceptions can and should be made for important technologies such as uBlock Origin.

FIXED CHAT INTERFACE! Thanks for all the user feedback! We launched a new layout and in trying to apply voice upgrades broke basic chatting. It should now. Voice is almost complete. Stay tuned. More agents as well. 48 is just the seed. We welcome user feedback for suggestions for new agent use cases or tasks. Coming soon users can upload their own agents and make passive income when someone uses their agent!

Neither of those are what I said.

I don't care about a keyboard. I don't care about retro computing.

What I care about is a modern amiga operating system, running on modern hardware.

And make it backwards compatible for the retro computing crowd.

I hate to break it to you all, but retro hardware is a novelty, nothing more.

This would be all correct if we didn’t have one particular set of laws above the others – the constitution. And it is unclear if rights guaranteed by constitution (freedom of speech in this case) aren’t infringed by this particular law. There is no such thing here as “if they passed a law let it be”. It can be true if they passed the constitution amendment but they obviously didn’t.

Now we can talk about real issue here - how correct the trade off the court is taking between freedom of speech infringement and this law. And as you can see in original post - author there thinks this trade off was taken wrongly by the court. I, personally, think the same.

Many? You mean less than 1%[1]?

> Overall, 33% underwent transmasculine procedures and 67% transfemenine procedures. The prevalence of regret among patients undergoing transmasculine and transfemenine surgeries was <1% (IC <1%–<1%) and 1% (CI <1%–2%), respectively.

That's less than the regret rate for life saving surgeries lol

This should be the work of grad students, not cranking out another paper or slaving for professors.

> We should also demand publication of failures -- it's ok to fail, but only if you publish about the failure.

I really want to have a journal that just publishes interesting duds. Someone else might look at your methodology and get their own idea.

Yep. I loved working with almost all people. Those I hated working - though minor - made it horrible. They had some ‘title’ to throw around and made everyone’s work and life miserable.

And how much ever feedback you provide and how much ever ‘culture’ talk goes on, as the saying goes ‘one bad apple spoils the whole damn bunch’.

There is lot of truth in ‘you join a good company, but leave a bad manager’ - or bad people, I would say.

My partner's internship was in a hospital, so by the time he saw people they were mostly already acutely ill, so in many cases the decline was pretty quick (though obviously much longer than something like plague).

I was more referring to the intense fear and constant undercurrent of death that permeated urban communities of young gay men at the time. As it did mostly affect young men, these were folks who were otherwise in the prime of their lives physically, and then when they got sick the physical wasting in the end was often pretty extreme. And it was made all the more difficult by the fact that society just kinda went on as normal (or worse, argued that AIDS was "killing all the right people").

> Same thing with gay people, as per your example. I'm sure some do remain closeted their entire lives. But plenty of them come out as gay later in life.

Plenty do, but the ones that don't give credence to the idea that forced closeting as a teenager makes it harder to follow your heart later. And that's in a situation where it doesn't get more difficult to come out later (if you're not married). Transitioning pre- and post- puberty is very different with current medical technology, so a lot more people will get "stuck".

Unfortunately there is a type of product manager who vibe codes enough to think that most software engineering problems are trivial solvable with AI and trys to push product direction towards AI solutions. Like using overwrote AI-powered browser agents instead of simple screen scrapping. These types of PMs are good at talking to leadership but tend to talk to engineers like they are prompting a LLM.

Getting your sales channel right is its own part of the work. LinkedIn is not the only platform. You can sell office SaaS on TikTok too. There's the ad platforms. There's funky stuff like Tumblr and Pinterest. Discord, Facebook groups, etc. Try tools like Blotato which lets you build a following in multiple platforms.

PMF isn't getting to 10 customers - you simply don't have it right now. That doesn't mean the product needs a change, it could mean you're targeting the wrong market. Or you could be selling the wrong part of your product.

You should absolutely not rely on network too, and it's one of the more inefficient ways to market.

Fairly-priced insurance for this sort of thing is available for much closer to its actuarial value—that is to say, much cheaper than at the rental car counter. So cheap, in fact, that in the US, surprisingly many consumer credit cards toss in some sort of rental car insurance at no charge—good wherever, whenever, and however often (within reason). Without even so much as a driving history check.

For that matter, the car rental firms routinely bundle damage waivers/insurance products into their volume/corporate contracts and still arrive at prices below the retail base rates.

I don't think it's the insurance itself that's being sold here at all. It's more more predatory than that: it's the kind of price discrimination that squeezes a premium for "peace of mind" from the segment of their retail trade who are nervous, inexperienced, risk-averse, or financially unable to accept the small risk of an expensive event. Like a payday loan—it's spectacularly expensive to be poor.

> The bouncer doesn't photocopy my ID and store it […]

It simply means that it has not arrived in your vicinity yet. In Sydney (Australia, not Canada), whilst most venues are satisfied with quick visual checks of one's face / ID for anyone who looks young, some venues have equipped the bouncers with iPads that run an app dedicated to taking one's face picture and recording the government issued ID details (driver licence number, residential address and particulars – all of them! or no entry). I have had an argument with them a couple of times where the bouncers refused to say – and pretty aggressiveley so – how the PII is handled, who will own it after handing it over, and how to delete it. I simply walked away each and every time, and I no longer approach the venues that record the ID details.

Frankly, the erosion of privacy in western countries is reaching epic proportions, with incumbent governments making substantial efforts to get into one's colon against the citizen's wish.

I never said that they don't, just that the opportunities to do so diminish post-puberty and with age, and many people give up on the dream of being themselves.

> But plenty of them come out as gay later in life.

Some do, but statistics show that the majority don't. At some point it stops making sense to identify as a gay/bi person if you've been married for 20 years and have no intention of leaving. That ship has sailed, so to speak. The same thing happens with trans people for very practical and biological reasons post-puberty.

For what it’s worth these mDL providers are the people already contracted to provide the services for the government to manage the IDs and the IT system for the DMV. They were part of the ISO standardization body for mDL. Not sure California’s choice pressured Apple so much as it being an international standard that had support from the governing bodies in Europe, UK, North America and Japan (met all of them there).

Apple wasn’t there when I was and even broader Google joined about 6 months after I left Google in 2015 (I was just proactive about seeing the standard coming) but the big players hopped on board later in the process.

We were all also acutely aware of the privacy implications and making sure the bodies would sign records of >18, >21 to avoid having to share too much info (pre ZKproofs being more widely accepted recognized).

> I don’t see my primary care doctor selling my health data

Without overstretching the metaphor, it is quite revealing - you wouldn't see your primary care doctor selling that information whether they are or aren't. You don't have an effective way of monitoring the situation. Nobody outside the hypothetical transaction does.

It is common for that sort of situation to go bad if the economics of selling the data make sense despite the risk of getting caught.

> In cases of emergencies government can and often does intervene (see housing crisis, airlines during covid etc). Why wouldn't government offset something like this in case of student loans during emergencies?

Because it is unconstitutional, and because it is unlawful. It is during times of emergencies that individual liberties are under the greatest threat and so it is during those times they need the strongest protections.

I find it funny you cite the housing crisis and covid as paragons because the government intervention to each of those were horrible and people in general would be much better off in the long run if the government never intervened. Maybe you don't like the idea that the government can be a threat, but I assure you that governments can and do go rogue. Never forget that the constitution was written as a document to put limits on the government. There is an important reason for framing it exactly like that. It puts into focus the very real dangers of having a centralized power encroaching in on every aspect of your life. With every piece it seizes, it also seizes a piece of your individual autonomy.

I have read that southern Europeans often have a much harsher response to illness (higher fever / skin going bright red / that kind of thing), and that this is speculated to be a leftover from the Black Plague.

I can't find a reference to it now, though, and if there was a term for the exaggerated response I don't remember it.

It's possible that my memory confused a harsher fever response to normal illnesses with familial mediterranean fever:

Quiet frankly I don't give a shit what a judge says is constitutional when they are acting in direct opposition to the stated goals of the constitution and I don't think anybody else should either. I believe the Founding Fathers both expected and wanted people to stand up in defiance against legal rulings and laws that many find unjust, even to the point of violence after some time. The Constitution starts with "We the People", which means if the people don't agree then the judges are wrong and should be opposed in every aspect.

The US legal system has gone out of control and it is getting to the point where people need to defy the law as a matter of principle and fight for their rights. The preamble of the constitution is pretty clear in its general goals, and working against the people's will, restricting the peoples rights, committing what the people believe are injustices, and causing social turmoil among them, are all blatantly opposed.

Why? Concretely, what would I be trying to allow in Japan? Don't they mostly communicate in Japanese anyway? The US has things like local government, schools, businesses, clubs, organizations, etc. Because the US is where we live. That makes it inconvenient to default block the US. Australia has what that is relevant to us? I don't see any .au in my browser history. Or .jp. Or .ca. There is some ac.uk, granted, but that could probably be kept to a small whitelist. I highly doubt anyone would notice for years if ever if I blocked Japan or Australia. It's a near certainty that no one would notice if I blocked all non-English parts of the web.

Are US organizations hosting in Canada for some reason? They probably wouldn't go further than that for latency reasons.

There's the separate problem of foreign companies having US points of presence, but assuming these laws expand, I'd imagine that would eventually lead to liability for services like cloudflare providing the endpoint/hosting on US soil.

> The current process is no less fair and Hertz is no less evil - but in this case its at least impartial and the scans are transparently available.

I don't think it's impartial: the implication here is that the same technology is not available to the renter, so Hertz can easily claim damage that was already present at checkout that an ordinary customer picture can't refute. That asymmetry seems bad to me.

Well, it’s either mental issues, or this is the way she wants it. I assume the latter. She had connections. There are people even today who would throw themselves at her feet to make it happen. She was instrumental in helping Bob Moog make the synthesizer workable for musicians, according to Bob Moog. She did the original Tron soundtrack.

For most people, before it makes sense to just buy all the hardware yourself, you probably should be renting GPUs by the hour from the various providers serving that need. On Modal, I think should cost about $72/hr to serve Kimi K2 https://modal.com/pricing

Once that's running it can serve the needs of many users/clients simultaneously. It'd be too expensive and underutilized for almost any individual to use regularly, but it's not unreasonable for them to do it in short intervals just to play around with it. And it might actually be reasonable for a small number of students or coworkers to share a $70/hr deployment for ~40hr/week in a lot of cases; in other cases, that $70/hr expense could be shared across a large number of coworkers or product users if they use it somewhat infrequently.

So maybe you won't host it at home, but it's actually quite feasible to self-host, and is it ever really worth physically hosting anything at home except as a hobby?

Pre-teen walking to a friend's house a mile away, probably semi-frequently?

Is that a risk or a near certainty?

Looking for online guidelines, I find this:

> According to an American Academy of Pediatrics survey of social workers that was posted in Science Daily, children under 12 years old should not be left alone for more than four hours. The social workers who were surveyed also concluded that child neglect will likely be considered when children are injured during that time period. --- https://www.tedbakerlaw.com/child-unsupervised-neglect/

Vibecoding is an excellent term, its communicates that the output and process is not entirely serious. I think without this term we would have even more PM types announcing that programming is dead and you just need a business person with some prompts copied off linkedin.

I think this gives room for non technical people to vibecode prototypes, knowing that the output will eventually go off the rails without technical understanding.

Has any chromium based browser committed to continue supporting MV2 or building an alternative API for ad-blockers to intercept web requests in MV3 even after the code for MV2 is removed from upstream chromium?

If not, then no, switching to another chromium based browser is not enough.

And fwiw my experience trying Brave was that the user experience was actually more different from chrome than Firefox.

> The problem here is that it’s testing the implementation details more than the generalized idea.

Well, the problem is that you can't test the generalized idea either. Even if a law is passed at the federal level, you're still only testing a specific implementation of a regulatory concept you want to implement.

Having a bunch of entities (the states) try implementing the same concept in different ways allows you to explore more of the solution space than if you only have a single entity (the federal government) do it uniformly upfront!

Update: Chat bug is fixed. Voice integration is next.

Had a few early users run into issues with the chat interface not opening after clicking an agent. That’s now fixed — thanks to those who gave feedback!

The site (https://aetheragentforge.org) is live and working — it’s an AI Agent Marketplace where users can launch task-specific agents like Gemini, Claude, OpenAI, and more. You don’t need to code anything. Just click “launch” and chat.

Next up: Voice support. I’m working on voice input/output for all agents, plus agent-saving and monetization tools.

Appreciate all the traffic and feedback from Hacker News. If you have ideas, bugs, or want to build with me, hit reply or visit the site.

The OSD does not allow for discrimination:

"The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons."

"The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research."

By having a clause that discriminates based on revenue, it cannot be Open Source.

If they had required everyone to provide attribution in the same manner, then we would have to examine the specifics of the attribution requirement to determine if it is compatible... but since they discriminate, it violates the open source definition, and no further analysis is necessary.

How does that hold up? If I return the car, the attendant inspects it, and I go home... then later I receive a bill about a scratch that the attendant didn't point out and that I cannot possibly inspect on the car... why would I possibly pay up? How could anyone litigate if I disagree and the car has been rented again?

It would make a lot more sense to scan the car immediately when I return it, point out the damage, and bill me right there. I don't think that is what they do though? Is the scanner in another location?

Real-Time Tensor Field Framework for Modeling Chaotic Astrophysical Resonance Patterns

We've developed a framework that models symbolic resonance patterns in chaotic astrophysical systems using a toroidal scalar field L(r,θ,t) with radial damping and angular harmonics.

The core is the Love Hole Operator L♡, which computes recursive convergence across feature vectors from CME, solar wind, and seismic data:

L♡(x) = log(1 + S(x)) · |Φ_lock| · L(r,θ,t)

Where: S(x) is a domain-specific stimulus function Φ_lock is a phase-locked coherence state (updated via exponential smoothing)

Recursive depth n increases convergence: L♡^(n+1) = L♡^(n) · (1 + 0.1n)

Results: Applied to 10,000+ cosmic events from NASA DONKI CME database, NOAA Solar Wind feed, and USGS Earthquake API. Found cross-domain temporal correlations between event types, with significant phase-aligned resonance during high solar activity periods.

Seeking peer review and encouraging reproducibility attempts.

By that definition, all politics is "hate". Passing a law will always take away the rights of a group in some way or other, and politics is the debate of whether or not that's a good or bad thing.

Personally I'm 100% for letting everyone express their gender or sexual identities. But I'm not going to demonize someone for having a different opinion and making a small donation to support their political views.
