Other applications ...

Some ATMs have unmarked physical buttons next the screen and tge text displayed on the screen next to those buttons defines what the key does.

TV remotes have A/B/C/D (red/blue/green/yellow) physical buttons whose function is dynamically defined by your context or which setting / function / menu you are currently inside.

I guess this goes back to video game controllers that have A/B X/Y buttons that can have different Functions in different contexts.

> Even the LLMs themselves acknowledge that this is regarded as offensive. If you correct it, it will apologize (they just can't do it _before_ you correct them).

Nah, that's just LLMs being trained to acquiesce to the insanity of the last ~15 years, as many people seem to expect that claiming you're offended by something is an ultimate argument that everyone must yield to (and they'll keep making a fuss out of it until they do).

Playing devil's advocate: embellishing one's own features is a common tactic for attracting a mate in the real world as well. Courtship is a game, not just for humans. During this phase you rarely get to know the other person. You meet their best facade first, and then slowly get to know the person behind it. If you refuse to play this game, then you're just lowering your chances of attracting a partner. Which is fine, but it's good to be aware of this.

What GP is suggesting is simply making an effort to showcase your features. The most attractive person on Earth could be rejected if their pictures are of poor quality. That's just common sense. Being genuinely attractive by modern societal standards is important, but the first step is making an effort.

Dating apps can be a good way of finding a partner. After all, they're just the modern equivalent of making the initial connection. Their problem is the same as with any SaaS: companies are incentivized to keep users on the platform for as long as possible, which they do by engaging in shady tactics like artificially controlling the visibility of user profiles, while squeezing out as much profit out of users as they can. This is bad news for men, who are overwhelmingly the ones using these services and are willing to accept the downright predatory tactics of these companies.

But in theory, there's nothing wrong with the concept of dating apps. They're just corrupted by the usual user hostile incentives. A dating service with the right incentives could appear tomorrow to disrupt this rotten industry.
Show HN: Build your own AI code editor

Bronie was bootstrapped using bronie itself, it's a self generating AI code editor. It cost roughly $40 USD to generate over the weekend. I did not write any of the code myself.

It supports OpenRouter, and any LLM provider with an OpenAI API compliant endpoint (most of them).

It was written to be extended as a good base. I hope you'll try it, fork it, extend/modify it for your own use.

I wanted to explore to see how difficult it is to make a useful code editor amid the Cursor Pricing Crisis. I think I reached the conclusion that the platform isn't very important, models are the sauce.

> Someday, people will have to realize we live in a society. What will it take?

Anarchism, socialism and communism can work perfect in a small village where everyone knows and trusts each other. But if you scale it up it does not work well because people can be corrupt. If you want to scale up to a Geo Global level that is trust-less the best way we know is to use Capitalism, but Capitalism ends up becoming more and more centralized.

Because Capitalism is inherently competitive there will always be winners and losers and these are not just businesses it's everyone in the system because capital is required to partake in the system. This competitiveness is also what leads to the lack of "morality".

What will it take?

I think you cannot have the benefits of capitalism without these side-effects.

But what is this idea the human is realizing? With most tools, it's an indescribable essence of a work that, even if you could extract it from the author's mind at that point, would be different from the end result—not because it's divorced from its platonic form, but because the labor itself develops it.

These generators are creative Speakwrites that strip that element of thought, only padding out a short core description with cliché. The resulting work doesn't have any layers of subtext or intentionality; it can be fully summarized by its prompt.

They don't suffer the most, but the point isn't to make them suffer. The point is to change the system. If the current system feels unfair or wrong in some way, people will want to change it. If the only way to change it is war, and if enough people want change, then war is what will happen. The war might make things a lot worse, but at least people are worse off together and are forced to take care of each other in a way that we haven't in a long time. The selfishness will be reduced, communities will come back, and a better system might be the result.

Not a controlled experiment, just a study of self-reported “values” and well-being survey data. It appears it was only tracking very short term effects, on the order of days, which seems like it would ignore the presupposed benefits of long term achievement.

If I play video games every weekend instead of developing a career and building a family, maybe I’ll feel better in the short term (though, having done that, I doubt it?), but how will I feel in 10 years?

Also the title lists “Hobbies vs Achievements” which isn’t exactly what the study seems to be, they list “self direction vs conformity” which isn’t really the same thing at all.

But based on the quality of the pseudoscience ads, maybe neurosciencenews.com is more of the latter.

I just imagine being a techie working for the cartel. In case you do not receive the ping, would you want to tell this to your violence prone boss: “Hey boss! Sooo. According to my calculations the significant investment you made in my idea should have pinged back by now. Maybe it is there, just there is something wrong with the SIM, or the antenna, or the network. Or maybe it is a few miles left or right on the coast and not getting cell signal. Or maybe the snorkel got swamped out on the sea and it stalled the engine and it is drifting somewhere. Or maybe our rivals nabbed it. Or maybe a random ship colided with it and it sunk. I hope this uncertainty is fine with you and won’t affect adversely our relationship, or how you treat my family.”

Sounds like a nightmare honestly.

> A bigger risk than the energy density (or how bomb-like it is) must be the self-sustaining fires.

The whole problem with batteries is the oxidizer is already included. When the cathode decomposes, it turns into an O2 factory. There really isn't a limit to how fast this can go if there is a structural compromise of the battery. Diesel fuel requires external oxygen constantly. This makes it much easier to extinguish.

I am more interested in what this article and project does not seem to mention.

Yes, but what exactly? I mean I guess you don't have to touch the project once its finished so there is less value in familiarizing yourself with the source. The source is roughly 15135 lines. That is quite a chunk and most likely would have taken more than 30 hours to write that from an standpoint of knowing the basics of typescript and the phaser library.

Let's be clear: it's entirely possible to leave the "herd". People can and do go completely off-grid and thus disengage from capitalism. The crucial point is that the vast majority of us choose not to. That choice is what makes your "slowest antelope" analogy so much more complex.

An antelope's greatest desire is to be in the herd, because while it may contain a lion, the world outside contains a thousand wolves.

We've built a herd—society—that is incredibly effective at holding those wolves at bay: famine, plague, and chaos. We willingly participate because it provides "shields" our ancestors could only dream of. The problem isn't the herd itself; it's the lion that we allow to stalk within it.

What I am suggesting isn't to abandon this safety and comfort brought by modern capitalism. It's to improve the herd—to enjoy its protections while finding ways to tame, cage, or evade the lion of exploitation. What we're discussing here aren't futile attempts to escape, but vital tactics for building a better, safer herd for everyone.

> I never take them as they are also often rude and I cannot rate them

You should check if there are taxi apps where you live. In Europe a lot of these apps consolidated under bigger brands (e.g. FreeNow) so it's a good bet that you'll find one and then you have the same experience as Uber. Just check which gives you a better price.

When the service providers feel cheated by the app they have to use to reach any audience (Booking, Uber, etc.), they'll find ways to make more money. Hotel owners gave me hefty discounts just to cancel a Booking reservation and pay directly, Uber drivers did the same. And with taxis it's getting ever so slightly harder to cheat when people have a recording device in their pockets at all times. I know cases where friends used Strava to record a trip and could show it's impossible for the trip to cost that much at advertised prices. Driver complied.

Startup idea: Strava for taxi rides, disrupt the market of shady taxi drivers with an app dedicated to tracking the trip to calculate/estimate costs.

Booking is the worst of them. You can open two tabs of one account next to each other and since one is from Google Maps pricing gonna be. 20% different.

Also all kind of cashback or discount offers just bake even higher premium than Cashback they offer.

So yeah booking hotels is more and more like a whack-a-mole game if you don't want to pay 30% more.

Software 4.0 is where people return to the craft instead of consuming the ai slop diarrhea that is stinking up the world around us.

Eventually, people will learn to stop putting faith in things and just get the job done. Stop trying to sidestep the process, and focus on being masters of the craft, using code as an efficient tool, not a leaky sledgehammer.

It’s not about SPY per-se, but about ETFs in general. Addition to spy is likely an addition to many other big volume ETFs. Top stocks also join QQQ which is another highly liquid ETF.

Most market volume according to citi is done by ETFs, approximately 80%.

When said ETFs rebalance at start and end of any particular day, we end up with big movements, much wider than the sideways chop we observe during the day when movement is mostly performed MMs that deal with hedging or dropping options value.

So I don’t think it’s the presence to S&P per se, but presence in big ETFs.

Also that paper is from 2012. Market’s a lot different these days.

To be clear, I am not saying that getting in there implies stock go brr. I am saying that in the context of the whole comment chain, buying spy exposes one to all companies that will enter or be evicted from the ETF, which then theoretically funds the companies which then produce value, which returns back as dividends or growth of stock.

If we look deeper though, buying into ETFs likely means the shares that are exchanged are bought and sold by and to MMs, so a whole lot of value is lost to them.

I rather stick with PHP or JS, due to having a JIT in the box for such cases.

This is something that feels alien in SF people. A fundamental difference for example from Greece and people living in SF is this.

- Greek opening question: "Which city are you from?" - SF opening question: "Which company do you work for?"

> the climate change "movement" and messaging is so bad and misguided that it is counterproductive

I really don't think that the climate change messaging is bad and misguided. At the end of the day, it's because climate change advocacy is underfunded and there is a lot of money in oil.

If climate change messaging was nicer, it's hard for me to see how anyone would care more anyway. On the other hand, if climate change advocates had real money behind it on the order of big oil PR and regulatory capture, you would see change and legislation really quick.

Always exciting to see a new Toledo post, but this one is especially inspiring, because it talks about the author's errors that you will probably make too if you don't read the post, and tells how to overcome them. And the activity described is the highly practical activity of designing a PCB this year with the best current free software and getting it built and debugged; the fact that it's an ISA board for a Transputer is fun but not central to the problem-solving process.

I wonder why he used the 74LS00 family instead of 74HCT00, even if he really needed the TTL thresholds? I forget if ISA even requires TTL levels. Is that a question of nostalgia, or is there a practical advantage of TTL over TTL-compatible CMOS in this context that I'm unaware of?

It's more common than you'd think, even today. A lot of sites I recently explored leave SQL injections as is (you can see the typical MySQL errors) and rely on some kind of "security plugin" provided by a third-party for their framework of choice which checks if a URL contains something which resembles an SQL injection attempt (such as "UNION SELECT" in query params).

You're right, they can try to manipulate you on a thousand tiny things. My counter-argument is that at a certain point, it's not worth the mental energy to fight over what amounts to pennies on the dollar.

Anecdotally, when I bought my car recently, they forgot to even offer me the extended warranty they'd planned to push. I find it funny to think it was so minor, even they forgot to care.

It is so odd how request-centric my worldview was back then. I literally couldn’t fathom how “old legacy crusty languages” like c/c++ could possibly be behind a website. Learning google was built this way blew my mind.

It’s strange thinking back to the days where persisting information as simple as a view counter required persisting data to a flatfile* or something involving a database.

These days with node and our modern languages like go and rust it’s immediately obvious how it’s done.

I think it’s both a mix of me learning and growing and the industry evolving and growing, which I think all of us experience over time.

* for years using flat files was viewed as bad practice or amateurish. fun to learn years later that is how many databases work.

It is not just that. Companies that already have lots of users interacting with their platform (Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple ...) want to capture your AI interactions to generate more training data, get insights in what you want and how you go about it, and A/B test on you. Last thing they want is someone else (Anthropic, Deepseek ...) capturing all that data on their users and improve the competition.

It's an interesting hole that the test cases don't cover any of Microsoft Office, Windows Explorer, PowerShell's various cmdlets, or the several major .NET ZIP archive libraries. It would seem that the author just does not use Microsoft Windows.

There's a whole extra level of archive file format tooling gotchas that one misses out on when one assumes "UNIX" for everything, and does not account for "FAT", "NTFS", "HPFS", and even "OpenVMS".

There’s no gain from outrage. Just opt out and move on.

I sold my TV. Don’t wanna get creeped on thanks. A TV with a microphone might be convenient for some but for us that’s a hard pass.

I drive a 12 year old car, its fuel efficiency is horrendous and its entertainment system barely works. But it’s off the grid! When I turn it off it TURNS OFF. It doesn’t creep on me, it doesn’t sell my driving habits or report my location or upload microphone recordings at the dealer when it’s plugged in for a service.

I’m biding my time until enough others think like me that a company takes notice. One day someone will make a car that loudly says it doesn’t creep on you, one day someone will make a TV that doesn’t creep on you. One day companies will care again about the customer. One day people will be wise enough to recognize enshittification and will call companies on their shit, and the market will speak.

Not today, but soon. Eventually.

I don't think this is true. A lot of people had no interest until smartphones arrived. Doing anything on a smartphone is a miserable experience compared to using a desktop computer, but it's more convenient. "Worse but more convenient" is the same sales pitch as for AI, so I can only assume that AI will be accepted by the masses too.

The UN and EU regularly publish evidence-based reports with multi-pronged recommendations. That seems to me as "unified" as you can get, in terms of multinational cooperation and holism in recommendations. But to have any concrete change you need political will, and that is obviously lacking.

To get political will in democratic societies you need to convince people to elect their leaders on this and not taxes or pet special interests, which is why you have been hearing about this fight all your life.

I still don't understand why desktop OSes now have mobile style taskbar icons that are twice as large as they need to be, grouped together so you need to hover to see which instance of what is what, and then click again to switch to the one you actually want if you can even figure out what it even is with just a thumbnail without any labels. All terminal windows look the fucking same!

Win NT-Vista style, aka the way web browsers show tabs with an icon + label is peak desktop UX for context switching and nobody can convince me otherwise. GNOME can't even render taskbars that way.
