As someone mentioned, this model is available in the beta version of iOS 26; it's also part of macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and visionOS 26. Anyone with a free developer account can install the developer betas; the public beta is expected next week.

There's a WWDC video "Meet the Foundation Models Framework" [1].

Yes, I did it on purpose to show that the words used make them easy to reverse.

I think one word should be stronger, or unambiguous.

Tornado sighting

Tornado alarm

Tornado touchdown

Tornado lookout

Tornado conditions

Tornado possibility

I go by Elk crossing warning signs a lot. They display all the time, giving their warning, not just when there's a recent sighting.

It's like saying the "red/black" rhyme about coral snakes is fine. It is, if you remember it exactly. And it's also incredibly easy to mix it up.

That's not correct.

The paying market for larger phones also contains the potential market for smaller phones.

There is no ADDITIONAL market in selling smaller phones, and not enough free market to make users switch brand for a smaller phone. So there is nothing to gain.

Crucially, even if 10% of the iPhone users want a smaller phone, they won't buy a smaller phone unless it's compatible to the iOS ecosystem. So roughly half of the market can only be effectively converted by Apple and for Apple it turned out to be not profitable enough to convert them.

Whenever I'm rate limited (pro max plan), I stop developing.

For anything but the smallest things I use claude code...

And even then...

For the bigger things, I ask it to propose to me a solution (when adding new features).

It helps when you give proper guidance: do this, use that, avoid X, be concise, ask to refactor when needed.

All in all, it's like a slightly autistic junior dev, so you need to be really explicit, but once it knows what to do, it's incredible.

That being said, whenever you're stuck on an issue, or it keeps going in circles, I tend to rollback, ask for a proper analysis based on the requirements, and fill in the details of necessary.

For the non-standard things (f.e. detect windows on a photo and determine the measurement in centimetres), you still have to provide a lot of guidance. However, once I told it to use xyz and ABC it just goes. I've never written more then a few lines of PHP in my life, but have a full API server with an A100 running, thanks to Claude.

The accumulated hours saved are huge for me, especially front-end development, refactoring, or implementing new features to see if they make sense.

For me it's a big shift in my approach to work, and I'd be really sad if I have to go back to the pre-AI area.

Truth to be told, I was a happy user of cline & Gemini and spent hundreds of dollars on API calls per month. But it never gave me the feeling Claude code gave me, the reliability for this thing is saving me 80% of my time.

> Our PMs don't like making things opt-in.

Thank god the web browser was developed in an era where PMs weren't stack-ranked on rubrics like "feature engagement". Imagine a world where every website was granted access to your filesystem, webcam, microphone, and geolocation by default so that PMs could report back on how many websites were making use of those browser APIs.

> Basically no taxpayers like the current situation. It persists because the government itself likes it hence why seemingly flimsy low effort lobbying is all it takes to persist the status quo.

We really don't need a conspiracy theory here. There are republican legislators and lobbyists who have said, in public, repeatedly, that one of their goals is to make paying taxes difficult and painful.

There's also a billion dollar indurstry who profits from the status quo.

What more do you want?

It's unlikely "natural" has anything to do with it. Compounds that occur naturally are often synthesized, but it's the same molecule as found in nature. (example: vanillin) There are some scent molecules that are totally new and not found in nature outside of our production, but "naturally occurring" is a broad category that can include all sort of things individuals are likely to be sensitive to even after removing all the "natural" chemicals that are actual poison.

Well, if we say these systems are here, it still took 10+ years between prototype and operational system.

And as I understand it; These are systems, not individual cars that are intelligent and just decide how to drive from immediate input, These system still require some number of human wranglers and worst-case drivers, there's a lot of specific-purpose code rather nothing-but-neural-network etc.

Which to say "AI"/neural nets are important technology that can achieve things but they can give an illusion of doing everything instantly by magic but they generally don't do that.

Reminds me of electricity entering the market and the first DC power stations setup in New York to power a few buildings. It would have been impossible to replicate that model for everyone. AC solved the distance issue.

That's where we are at with self driving. It can only operate in one small area, you can't own one.

We're not even close to where we are with 3d printers today or the microwave in the 50s.

Substack announced on Thursday that it has raised $100 million in Series C funding led by investors at BOND and The Chernin Group (TCG). The the funding brings Substack’s valuation to $1.1 billion, almost 70% higher than its 2021 valuation of $650 million. The company said in March that it had surpassed 5 million paid subscriptions on its platform, up from 2 million in 2023.

I think a lot of our diseases if looked at genetically instead of symptoms-wise that we will probably find out that it's actually multiple conditions that we just group together for manifesting in similar ways. I've felt this in my own life with ADHD things where it seems to me that there are at least 3-4 different types of ADHD and that they respond to treatments/medications differently, and this makes me think that many other conditions might be similar, especially if we start looking at them genetically.

It’s always tempting to look at the Russian assault on Ukraine and “learn lessons” but you also have to remember that NATO countries aren’t Ukraine and Russia isn’t China.

The use of drones by both sides is in part because neither side could get air superiority, Ukraine because it barely had an air force and Russia because..well decades of corruption.

If the US had invaded Ukraine, Ukraine would have lost in under a month, the insurgency would be horrific and make Iraq look mild but militarily Russia was a complete basket case.

The lesson we should take is that ammunition stockpiles evaporate faster than you expect always in a full scale war, this has been true all the way back to the invention of the bow though.

Back in my youthful days, educated and informed people chastised using the internet to self-diagnose and self-treat. I completely missed the memo on when it became a good idea to do so with LLMs.

Which model should I ask about this vague pain I have been having in my left hip? Will my insurance cover the model service subscription? Also, my inner thigh skin looks a bit bruised. Not sure what’s going on? Does the chat interface allow me to upload a picture of it? It won’t train on my photos right?

Animal Crossing will forever be a kids game that changed my life profoundly, and twice. Like most of us, Animal Crossing got me through Covid19. It was such a strange time to be locked in and spending 10 hours of every day working on collecting and manicuring your town. I remember my sister and I really bonded over this game, and there were many days where my mom and dad watched us play.

But aside from a worldwide pandemic, I remember the first time Animal Crossing changed my perspective was when I was ~13? I had grown up with a GameShark on the Gameboy Color, but years later my next exposure to hacking was on the Nintendo DS playing online in Animal Crossing. Had some random person I made friends with on the Nintendo forums join our small group of friends to travel between towns. This person could do some impossible things! They'd dig rivers, spawn-in objects, and I still have a vivid memory of them making the game rain items on balloons like some festive meteor shower.

I remember at that time you'd hear horror stories about hackers coming in and destroying peoples' towns. I did hear about abuse. I liked my (Ukrainian?) friend who would show up and help us make impossible towns with rivers that went in circles and showed us game assets we'd likely never have discovered on our own.

I'm a PC gamer now, and I avoid consoles for the lock-in and control companies like Nintendo exert over its players. I understand why they do it but I feel like the experiences I had could never happen today.

Whoever that was started me on a career of game modding and software development and I'm glad I got to meet them while it was possible.

One thing my colleagues and I do is expressly offer up a starting point when reviewing changes: "the meat of the change is in xxx.go; the rest is ancillary/supporting". This allows the reader to contextualize themselves more quickly in the change, and understand the rest of the changes with greater ease.

You could take an adversarial view of it: maybe it's better if people get dropped into the changes so they're left to workout if the changes in each file stand alone rather, decontextualized from their original change.

I haven't used Claude Code a lot, but I was using about $2-$5/hour, but it varied a lot. If I used it 6 hours/day and worked a normal 21 workday month (126 hours), then I would rack up $250-$630/month in API costs. I think I could be a more efficient with practice (maybe $1-$3/hour?). If you think you are seriously going to use it, then the $100/month or $200/month subscriptions could definitely be worth it as long as you aren't getting rate limited.

If you aren't sure whether to pull the trigger on a subscription, I would put $5-$10 into an API console account and use CC with an API key.

"Think about where most breakthrough technologies actually come from. Not from some genius in a garage (though that’s a nice story). They come from decades of basic research funded by institutions that operate independently of political pressure. The internet you’re using to read this? That was DARPA. The GPS in your phone? Military research. The algorithms powering AI? University research.

Here’s how the ecosystem actually works: government funds basic research that has no obvious commercial application. Universities and research institutions build on that work, training graduate students who become the next generation of researchers and entrepreneurs. Some of those students go on to start companies that turn basic research into products. Others stay in academia and continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

Yes, eventually the private markets and companies take over the commercialization, but so much of the core infrastructure of innovation comes from elsewhere.

And none of this happens overnight. The internet took decades to go from ARPANET to the web. GPS took years of satellite launches and signal processing advances. The machine learning techniques powering today’s AI boom are built on decades of research in statistics, computer science, and neuroscience."

It's not AI slop, it's 100 percent written by me. I don't think AI can come up with screenshots/gifs and build process etc of my effort. I am very interested in seeing split tunneling on MacOS on wireguard.

Infact you search Google for 'split tunneling on macos in wireguard ', even Google will tell you that it's only supported via terminal and that's what I did:

> While WireGuard itself doesn't inherently offer split tunneling on macOS, it's possible to achieve this functionality through manual configuration or using a third-party VPN client that supports it. Some VPN providers like Mullvad VPN and ExpressVPN include split tunneling features in their macOS apps. Alternatively, you can configure split tunneling manually using macOS Network settings and Terminal commands, though this method is more complex and may not be suitable for all users.

I think the whole concept of source files as unordered blobs on the filesystem is just _wrong_ -- and a serious drag on the ability of a reader to quickly digest a codebase and make inferences about changes in isolation ...

Codebases are _ordered_ constructs -- regardless of the ridiculous broken build system abstractions that do everything possible to obscure this truth ...
Show HN: TrueSift – AI-Powered Real-Time Fact-Checking Chrome Extension
by terrib1e | 2025-07-17 21:15:34+00:00
Hey HN!

I got the idea for this during the Lovable AI competition and decided to turn it into a Chrome extension. TrueSift helps verify the accuracy of online content in real time.

What it does:

- Uses AI to analyze text on any page and highlight questionable claims. - Provides quick fact-check summaries and trusted sources without leaving the page. - Lightweight and privacy-conscious (no unnecessary data collection).

Why I built it: Misinformation spreads fast, and I wanted a tool that makes truth-checking effortless for readers, journalists, and researchers.

Try it out: truesift.dev

I’d love feedback on:

UX: Is the flow intuitive? Speed & Accuracy: Does it feel responsive? Features: What would make this more useful for you? It’s still an early build, so I’m open to suggestions!

Almost 30 years ago National Semiconductor had an early nicely done website that allowed you to search for products, get data sheets, ask questions, find reps and distributors. I used it all the time.

1997-8 one day I bring it up and it's been replaced by a glossy site extolling the value of National Semiconductor stock and lauding the CEO, CFO, and the board members and nothing about the companies actual product. A few months later they added a link to the old site down in the right hand corner.

I've come around to the idea that MBA's shouldn't be allowed to own individual stocks. Only through index funds.

sorry, i misread that. i thought you were just talking about the trust and vetting issue. i glanced over "sandboxing". sandboxing apps is what android is doing and i think nixos and also flatpack, etc. and with flatpack, that approach is effectively already possible, and in a way, already in the works. but it's a different approach, one that i don't like at all, because it is way to heavy handed and makes interoperability between apps very difficult. it also doesn't solve the trust problem, because at the end of the day the sandboxed app still needs access to my data, so i still need to trust it.

however that is completely besides the point because we are really talking about improving trust with pypi and npm and the like. sandboxing here is simply not possible because these are mostly libraries to be used for development of larger apps.

the approach distributions are using now would be useful here.

> If scaling doesn't stall out soon, then I honestly have no idea what to expect the visibility curve to look like.

We are seeing diminishing returns on scaling already. LLMs released this year have been marginal improvements over their predecessors. Graphs on benchmarks[1] are hitting an asymptote.

The improvements we are seeing are related to engineering and value added services. This is why "agents" are the latest buzzword most marketing is clinging on. This is expected, and good, in a sense. The tech is starting to deliver actual value as it's maturing.

I reckon AI companies can still squeeze out a few years of good engineering around the current generation of tools. The question is what happens if there are no ML breakthroughs in that time. The industry desperately needs them for the promise of ASI, AI 2027, and the rest of the hyped predictions to become reality. Otherwise it will be a rough time when the bubble actually bursts.

I should have also said, I suppose, that cgitb is less needed by Nim because the static typing catches more errors at compile-time. Indeed, for CGI programs, it might be wise to use the `{.raises: [].}` pragma to forbid successfully compiling if you even could raise at all, formally obsoleting any utility cgitb would have had. All just informational if anyone is tempted to write CGI programs in Nim. :-)

I am not adding IP of every website I want to visit. I am adding IP of the website that I don't want to traffic through my VPN. It's my private vpn with pihole on it which is always running. Right now you cannot blacklist traffic for ips on wireguard as in not send traffic of an IP via wireguard.

Regarding your second point I think there are two cases here that should be kept separate. The first is that you are teleported into a parallel dimension where literally everything works differently from here. In that case I do agree that there are several reasonable choices of models of computation. You simply have to pick one and hope it wasn't too bad.

But the second case is that you encounter some phenomenon here in our ordinary world. And in that case I think you can do way better by reasoning about the phenomenon and trying to guess at plausible mechanics based on your preexisting knowledge of how the world works. In particular, I think guessing that "there is some short natural language description of how the phenomenon works, based on a language grounded in the corpus of human writing" is a very reasonable prior.

Most of them but not all of them. Dove and even Irish spring us ok (not that it smell great) however my wife had to throw away many fancier soaps she received from a cosmetics sampler subscription.

Essential Oils like fir needles, black spruce, orange, rosemary... don't affect me, I even like them (but I find lavender repulsive but it's not hurtful).

And I don't feel like going to an allergy specialist for something as superficial as this is a good use of my time since my coworker, friends and family are not into perfume.

OK, perhaps there are regional differences in language, or perhaps I'm just a moron, to me the "backpack being intact" does not obviously say anything about the contents of the backpack, to me it's a synonym for "undamaged", and neither are phrases I would use to describe the original contents of the backpack all still being present.

Either it's an American English thing, or if other Americans did not share my confusion then I guess it's just a me thing, and the appropriate response is for you to make fun of me and tell me I don't know how to read, so nice work.

where I'm from, apprenticeships are not seen as a gatekeeping mechanism, but instead as an opportunity to learn something "useful" (aka some trade or craft) and get started with low or no pre-training - typically apprenticeships will start at age ~15 and take 3 years. Businesses are supported by state subsidies for educating apprentices.

It's not all rose petals but overall seems like a valid option for someone who can't/doesn't want to pursue a higher education career.

> "Everyone else seems to know when to say the right thing at the right time but you don't. You are some weird alien that does not belong. You try to memorize things to say, copy how other people act, it works but the mask often slips. You must be hyper-vigilant in every social situation to not let the real you slip out. It becomes so automatic that you don't even remember who you are anymore. It is exhausting, so exhausting and alienating. You crash and burn from time to time."

This is more of an Autism issue, no? I have ADHD, and this could not be further from the truth for me. I am not well-versed in Autism symptoms nor its various presentations, but I tend to excel in most social situations. I'm in my 30s with golden retriever levels of hyperactivity. Though, difficult to contain at times, I often think people are somewhat attracted to my high-energy presentation. I have no evidence to back up my claim, but I am inclined to believe the more ADHD-PI people suffer from those issues rather than the ADHD-C/-PH folks do.

> They can give you the super power to fold your laundry in a single business day, they don't get you high.

Stimulant medication can and absolutely get many people with ADHD high. Now, I am not saying everyone taking their prescribed medication as directed automatically gets high, but I believe there is a lot more abuse/misuse than doctors and researchers might be able to conclude.

> Medication is just one option, you can also learn better coping skills through therapy or coaching.

Everyone is different, but the data surrounding therapy and coaching for ADHD without medication does not really instill confidence in me. For brevity sake, I'll spare you all my opinions on/experiences with therapy.

I've medicated for a decade, and it's better than nothing, but it ain't far off from nothing, in my experiences. Though, I think I am just a poor-responder to medication, which sucks because I am basically fucked in terms of help.

> We found files shown earlier in a PR to receive more comments than files shown later

I often stop reviewing a PR if I have too many comments on it already that need to be addressed so I wouldn't say this is necessarily what it sounds like (later files get less attention). Also, a comment on an early file might address a concern in a later file that will be fixed by the time I actually review the later files.

That said, keep your PRs short and you won't have to worry about stuff like that.
