> “Home building resources” are not fixed, then can expand and contract like any other part of the economy.

I never said building resources were fixed so not sure why you needed to rebut that.

I did say the there was competition for them which infers 1) they are a limited resources and 2) more demand for them drives up costs. That might be mitigated somewhat if suppliers want to invest in and spin up new manufacturing - which may or may not happen depending on how shareholder pressure manifests.

Yes, and the fault is on the people using U-3 that way, not the economists. Talking about the problems with U-3 implies that the economists messed up. The issue is that everyone is looking for a quick 5-second way of making conclusions about a complicated topic.

We don't need a new metric. There is no new metric that will satisfy that criteria. The only solution is to improve the way we talk about the economy.

Have you got sources for those claims?

IAEA inspections are not just theater — they are the formal mechanism for verification under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). So not sure why you state that.

Iran had a good record of compliance until the US started moving goalposts around about 2018. Even since then it's been less transparent but partly that can be attributed to others shifting position. It's not one sided.

Enrichment has been above normal civilian use but also it's been a fair way off weapons grade. So that's not correct.

Warhead R&D in this area is commonly held to have stopped around about 2003. So again I don't believe your claims are correct.

The current situation with Iran appears highly manufactured. There is a fair amount of rhetoric in your claims which doesn't help either.

> Miranda rights apply to criminal arrests but immigration arrests are typically civil.

> The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to a lawyer

I think people arrested by ICE are not guaranteed a lawyer, because, as you say, it's a civil matter. This means if you find yourself sleeping on a cot behind a chain link fence in Alligator Alcatraz, and you want to speak to a lawyer, you'll have to pay for it yourself, because it's all a civil matter.

Are we great again?

> In virtually every country you can find a great tailor to make a perfect pair of jeans. Yet only a handful of them can make cars worth calling “a car”.

You are saying that clothing is a commodity and that a perfect pair of jeans is universally available because you don't know what makes a perfect pair of jeans and you see clothing as a commodity.

My original comment was specifically not about commoditized clothing.

It can do it type-safely.

Monad is a weird type that a lot of languages can't properly represent in their type system. However, if you do what dynamically-typed scripting languages do, you can do any fancy thing that Haskell does, because it is weakly typed in this sense. (The sense in which Python is "strongly typed" is a different one.)

What you can't do is not do the things that Haskell blocks you from doing because it's type-unsafe, like, making sure that calling "bind" on a list returns a list and not a QT Window or an integer or something.

Autism is a spectrum disorder and I don’t think it should be controversial to cure low functioning autism. However, high functioning autists can be argued to be more of a personality variant than a disability, with different strengths and weaknesses compared to neurotypical people. Society benefits greatly from supporting high functioning autistic people in say, technical fields where hyperfocus, narrow obsessions and systemising thinking are an advantage.

Meanwhile, having a genetic condition like haemophilia doesn’t give you any conceivable advantage.

At least the old, good notepad is still available in Win11. It's not in the start menu and there's no shortcut to it, but you can set those up without much trouble.

The new notepad misses the mark for me entirely. It's no good as a minimal text editor anymore, but it's also not a full-featured text editor. It's somewhere in between, so fills a need I don't have.

It is well-known that Iran has enriched Uranium to 60%, much more than the 5% which is commonly required for nuclear reactors, and also more than the 20% required by some specialized reactor designs. Iran has clearly tried to position itself as a 'threshold nuclear power', as enriching to 90% (from 60%) is relatively quick and easy.

>how do you have a layoff every couple of months for 3 years

It has absolutely nothing to do with managing out low performers or managing existential business risk. It has everything to do with managing annual EPS to Wall Street's expectations. There was an inflection point at the end of 2022 where Revenue growth slowed so to maintain Earnings growth, costs had to be cut continuously, and this process is still playing out.

No. The "cheap labor" myth needs to die quickly.

China's advantage is, and always will be, that the costs of labor in US are bloated by a huge amount of overhead for every working resident

In 2023, the BLS reported that benefits alone accounted for about 31% of total compensation, with wages and salaries comprising the remaining 69%. [1] This 31% includes direct costs like health insurance, retirement contributions, and paid leave.

Now in addition, consider employer-paid expenses that are not benefits or employee compensation: FICA, FUTA, SUID, SDI, FMLA, etc. That depends on your geography, but it can be up to 25-40% additional costs [2]

The all-in cost is at least 35% or more in additional spend [3]

In addition, none of the above capture indirect costs of compliance/overhead, with varied state and federal schemes.

As you can see, we are at a range of ~35-50% of additional costs for each new hire

Now, importantly, try to imagine the effect of this bloat at a national level: Every US business is effectively carrying deadweight of additional ~35-50% costs on its pricing decisions to its customers. Why? Because the bloat is embedded into every domestic input, like raw materials, services, utilities, you name it. This cost spike may impact a few foreign industries dependent on US inputs, but it certainly explodes over US shores, spiking prices of the inputs that most US producers depend for their final goods and services. Now think of what happens to domestic costs of doing business and operating a physical business in US.

So when your cost of production have additional ~35-50% overhead because of all sort of market-distorting mechanisms, blaming china for "cheap labor" is a convenient scapegoat, when in reality the blame should be on US policy of making our jobs artificially expensive.... to fund the state bloat.

We’re in full agreement here, all I was saying is that the menality that leads to user agent sniffing is likely the idea that engines that aren't Blink are so incapable and will break the site/app so badly that it’s better to just rule out their usage altogether. Checking on a per-function basis (or alternatively, just not insisting on using bleeding edge features in the first place) is absolutely the way to go about avoiding brokeness.

So far as I can tell, the girl left with her parents (who are not US citizens). This has been the pattern in all of these cases that I have heard about so far. It’s completely disingenuous to suggest that these situations are equivalent to “American citizens being deported” like they are running no-knock raids on farmsteads in Idaho.

These children are still entitled to return if they are in the custody of a guardian who has a legal right to reside in the US.

This is a really nice writeup.

That said, there's an unstated assumption here that these truly large language models are the most interesting thing. The big players have been somewhat quiet but my impression from the outside is that OpenAI let a little bit leak with their behavior. They built an even larger model and it turned out to be disappointing so they quietly discontinued it. The most powerful frontier reasoning models may actually be smaller than the largest publicly available models.

Right. I'm not sure it would get a ton of traffic, so I was banking more on referral / ad relationships with the suppliers. I've seen it work for a similar service, but that one has the benefit of being more popular, and dynamic.

Well done with the network of sites! Unfortunately I haven't had any luck with my past projects, which is why I'm doing a lot more research this time around.

> You can provision an Azure Web Service (...) which provisions the computational resource, Azure App Service, as part of the deployment steps.

That's not a solution because deployment steps aren't a problem. The brain-dead aspect of Azure is how it forces users to handle the complexity of having to deal with provisioning and budgeting what computational resources used to run a set of web apps. This doesn't even buy isolation. If I'm paying for cloud services, why on earth should I concern myself with how much RAM I need to share across N apps? It's absolutely brain dead.
Show HN: Find movies by vibe: Try: "A raw underdog story that hits your gut."
by driftersince89 | 2025-07-02 19:15:18+00:00
Hey HN,

I’ve been building PlotSense — just launched it yesterday. It’s an AI movie search tool, but not the usual genre/actor filter stuff. This one’s different.

I always felt like the way we search for movies is broken. I never think in terms of “action” or “drama.” I think more like: “I want something that feels like a gut punch” or “a slow film that leaves me unsettled.”

So I built a search that actually gets that. You can type something like:

“Haunting and slow, makes me think about life and death”

“Warm and nostalgic but kinda sad too”

“Dark, stylish, and everyone feels a little off”

“Emotionally crushing but no one says anything out loud”

“A grounded underdog story that hits hard”

Try it at https://www.plotsense.ai

Please share your initial thoguhts. - Does it grab your attention? - Will you use it when you want to watch a movie? - What else do you like to see in this?

I don't think we should defund most police agencies in the US. I absolutely think that we need to defund ICE, throw a substantial number of its current employees in jail, and build a new immigration enforcement agency from the ground up. Nobody who authorized masked raids by the secret police can be trusted to enforce the law and I do not consider any agency who employs them legitimate.

I developed a few commercial games on unity a while ago, here's why some of what's proposed is harder than you think,

- The original developper is not working on the game anymore, another company is maintaining it and has no capacity for making significant changes to it.

- You can't release your server source code because you will be using a lot of proprietary add ons that can't be released, and those are usually absolutely essential.

- Your server is going to be built against a now unsupported version of the engine, that you probably can't even install on current year operating systems

- stripping the source code of 'proprietary stuff' is significant work, there's no package management, code is copy pasted.

- Your protocol is based on third party commercial code and that other company doesn't like reverse engineering

- Changing the way the networking works to remove the lobby is significant development work, the networking framework is out of date, not maintained, and the devs are most likely not available anymore.

Seems to be a failure to update the README, since https://github.com/doublehq/oracle/commit/7923eee62bccb565c8... was an explicit change away from MIT to GPLv3

That also tracks why the README would be pointing to a 404 file, since the other commit that touched that file was to change its name, and also not update the README

> while still attempting to meet unrealistic expectations around meeting attendance

I've routinely seen people attending a meeting from the office on Zoom camera, all gathered in a single big conference room, all looking and typing on their laptops for the entirety of the meeting, saying something maybe once or twice. I suppose they were simply working on their assigned tasks, listening to others in the background. How effective is that - I don't know.

These days I don't care. I'm 100% "at work" when I'm in the office, so whatever. I just pull up my phone and plan my next vacation trip or whatever. When I'm remotely I take my laptop to the kitchen and start preparing stuff for dinner. Life is too short for this mess.
by andy99 | 2025-07-02 19:17:36+00:00
Lol I've seen this happen, people feeling they're too important to attend meetings and then complaining when something happens in them.

Skipping meetings because they aren't organized the way you like is pretty passive aggressive. I agree with all the criticism about poorly organized meetings, but I think the non prima Donna thing to do is push back on their existence or format, not just skip them. That's part of why a job is a job.

> 1. What are the positive aspects of deafness?

I think a more appropriate question would be, what are some positive aspects of being deaf, that are unique to being deaf? As you point out a few times, a positive aspect of being deaf, and the main reason it's 'not disabling', is because there is a community around it. But that is not inherent to being deaf, since non-deaf people also have communities; indeed, those same deaf communities could exist as they are even if their members were cured

> 2. What are the different aspects of deafness (neither positive nor negative, but leads to a very different human experience).

Can you elaborate on some of these?

> If either of these significantly outnumber the negative aspects

Also, I surely hope this isn't a simple matter of numbers, right? I mean, surely one has to weigh the severity of the negative aspects in this. "Not being able to hear" is but one negative aspect, but it's a pretty big one.

They have a Azure Function Serverless Offering called consumption plan: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/azure-functions/func...

Quote: „Default hosting plan that provides true serverless hosting“

This one doesn’t require an app service plan.

Actually I like that offering, depending on your requirements you have several options to host your functions. That’s pretty great.

If they would offer just one kind of function app or one kind of storage solution people would complain that their very important edge case is not supported. For those simple requirements you can use cloudflare, vercel etc…

I agree that Liquid Glass's edge distortion looks great, and I will try my hand at recreating it eventually. For the current project, I aimed to create a material that looked polished, worked consistently across browsers, and didn't use real 3D. And you're right about the effect being more visible when moving over a fixed background. The demo site I'm working on for the library does this, it's just not ready yet.

Thanks for sharing the resources!

“ I'm finding that developing prompts, managing context, controlling pace, staying organized and being able to effectively review the LLM's work are required skills for LLM-assisted coding “

Did you not need all these skills / approaches / frameworks for yourself / coding with a team?

This is , I think, the key difference in those (such as myself) who find LLMs to massively increase velocity / quality / quantity of output and those who don’t.

I was already highly effective at being a leader / communicator / delegating / working in teams ranging from small , intimate , we shared a mental model / context up to some of the largest teams on the planet.

If someone wasn’t already a highly effective IC/manager/leader pre LLM, an LLM will simply accelerate how fast they crash into the dirt.

It takes substantial work to be a highly effective contributor / knowledge worker at any level. Put effort into that , and LLMs become absolutely indispensable, especially as a solo founder.

Especially for an organization like OpenAI that completely twisted its original message in favor of commercialization. The entire missionary bit is BS trying to get people to stay out of a sense of what exactly?

I'm all for having loyalty to people and organizations that show the same. Eventually it can and will shift. I've seen management changed out from over me more times than I can count at this point. Don't get caught off guard.

It's even worse in the current dev/tech job market where wages are being pushed down around 2010 levels. I've been working two jobs just to keep up with expenses since I've been unable to match my more recent prior income. One ended recently, and looking for a new second job.

Demographics had to change and belief systems had to develop for Mamdani to win the NYC primary. Huge turn out, 12 point victory over Cuomo. Democratic socialist policy platform. This is the future as young people remain economically disadvantaged and old folks with their beliefs and wealth to protect age out. Young people aren't going to get more conservative because they don't have something to lose economically as older cohorts might have had.

If workers are not seeing improvements in life over time, why would their viewpoint change? I agree a minority of workers might change their mind when they luck into favorable economic and labor circumstances, but luck will not find the majority, and when it comes to voting, a majority matters.

It's worse than that. Two years of declining sales at Tesla.[1] Mostly for ordinary car manufacturer reasons. Tesla hasn't had a new model in years other than the Cybertruck, which was a dud. Prices are still too high.

Electric cars still cost more than gas cars in the US. This seems to be a US-only problem. Electric cars are doing fine in the rest of the world. A majority of new cars in China are electric.

Here's the BYD Dolphin Surf. Costs US$11,000 in Europe.[2] It's apparently a fairly good car. BYD has a whole range of cars, from super-cheap subcompact to supercar. BYD sold over 4 million cars in 2024. Tesla was around 1.7 million and dropping.
