It's more banal than that. Oil you have to pay for. Which for most countries you need to constantly come up with foreign currency. If you have a financial crisis like hot money flees you end up at the mercy of the world banking systems mafia enforcers the IMF.

With solar and electrified transport and industry? Can't pay the loans for the solar panels? Sucks for the saps that loaned you the money. Come and take them.

This msy surprise you, but the average person doesn't even know who owns what tech platform. Not Meta or X or Google. They don't care either.

Most don't even know Musk bought Twitter.

To complete this thought, most users of X are siloed too. There is no "capture" of the platform, whatever thst means, for them.

I agree that in some circles there may be brand damage,
Show HN: Wolflux – AI Predicts Stocks in Realtime
by nesh-html | 2025-07-10 09:49:58+00:00
I opened my first stock account back in high school and went down the technical analysis rabbit hole — RSI, MACD, VWAP — stacking every indicator I could find. I thought I was cooking, but it mostly came down to “buy the dip.”

Fast forward to now: AI is everywhere. So we thought — why not build a system that actually thinks alongside traders?

We built Wolflux — a real-time AI-powered platform for stock insights. It gives clear Buy/Sell/Hold signals (with confidence scores), technical indicators, sentiment analysis, and Monte Carlo risk modeling — all without the clutter.

Under the hood, we use a hybrid of machine learning models (LSTM, KNN, SVM, logistic regression) combined with traditional analysis. Everything runs live, with 24/7 data feeds.

We just launched a Watchlist feature too. There’s a free tier (no card required), and we’d love feedback from the HN community.

I think it's more accurate that the right is better aligned with the interests of capital, and capitalists control all of those things and have the levers of government biased in their favor.

The left has always had to fight an uphill battle politically and culturally and financially, which is why they've been at their most successful when working outside of system versus trying to work within it.

You are the one strangely claiming a 401(3)(c) not-for-profit nonstock company is a private equity company.

I assume you have changed the topic because you know you are wrong.

As the article says, Library Systems & Services is 'private equity owned'. If you can't tell the difference being a private equity owned company and being a private equity company then you really don't understand this topic at all.

They did not say git should replace this parser, though you can argue they implied it.

They did not say git should change language.

They did not say "every few years, we should torch our code and rewrite from scratch, using new tools." That's a fever dream that barely resembles their words in a way that makes you super right and them super unreasonable.

A key phrase they said was "we shouldn't keep doing new things like we did back then". New things. That's not saying to rewrite anything.

> Assistant stuff. Like you bark "order a pepperoni pizza from Joe's Pizza" and it happens

I honestly thought tapping screen to pick a pizza and all toppings you want etc is the convenient option but OK. Maybe it's a difference between people like me who like to browse menu and people who like to inquire with the waiter.

Booking a flight is a challenge (starting with captchas and hidden options they require opt out) for a living person already and expecting an LLM to do it is very far fetched. Planning a road trip, that's just robbing yourself of fun.

But because I asked & you answered I should say "thanks not for me". Maybe if I am Elon Msuk at some point and don't care about it falling for some dark pattern than minuses me $1k by accident I will be fine using assistants but then do I choose bots over living people in that scenario? Doubtful...

They're anti-institution because they think institutions have been corrupted by the left - they trust their own institutions. Intellectualism has been corrupted by leftism/communism/feminism/secularism what have you, but they have their own intellectuals. Education is indoctrinating the youth with degenerate ideology and communist propaganda, but they trust schools that hew to their narrative. "Coercion being a valid path for the homogenization of a national culture" is soft selling some very obvious and common right-wing historical policies. IMHO This particular iteration of the right differs from tradition in its self-awareness and chaotic nature, but not in its essential core ideals. It just suffers from the same post-COVID post social media brain rot as everyone else.

As far as credibility goes, I think they're as credible as they've ever been. How credible that is is left as an exercise to the reader.

The SSPL does not place restrictions on purpose of use unless you also believe the AGPL does. You can diff the two licenses and see that the part which some people consider to be a purpose of use restriction is identical.

The OSI declared it nonfree, because the OSI is a consortium of large companies - cloud service providers and the like.

The FSF decided not to issue any opinion.

Debian decided not to issue any opinion, but because it was only affecting a few packages and they have good GPL counterparts, switched to the GPL counterparts anyway.

There is no evidence the SSPL is nonfree. That is big tech disinformation. Please don't spread it. What the SSPL actually is is an extreme point in the WTFPL-to-AGPL spectrum - it's more AGPL than AGPL itself. It's still on that spectrum, not a completely different spectrum like a proprietary license.

Tony Seba around 10 years ago predicted (among many other things) that ~2024 the cost of generating a unit of electricity onsite with PV will cost less than merely delivering the same unit of electricity over transmission infrastructure, not even considering the cost of generating that unit.

Nowadays he is diving into what he terms the phase change disruptions where he explores and thinks out the ramifications of these disruptions.

This reminds me I should actually write a "natural" arithmetic expression parser for my Rust crate realistic

Right now, realistic can parse "(* (^ 40 0.5) (^ 90 0.5))" and it will tell you that's 60, because yeah, it's sixty, that's how real arithmetic works.

But it would be nice to write "(40^0.5) * (90^0.5)" or similar and have that work instead or as well. The months of work on realistic meant I spent so long without a "natural" parser that I got used to this.

Tech industry has been perpetually growing in the last decades. That means juniors are always a large share of the tech population, and as any demographic, some are bound to be clueless and still vocal. The issue is that in more stable industries, there would be a larger share of seniors to respond with more grounded takes. In ours, these voices are drowned, especially on relatively anonymous media such as HN.

I made a tool to make LinkedIn posting feel less like a chore.

it’s called Linkgenie, and I just opened it up for early users.

Using Claude for generating post and get for hooks its saves you time.

I’d love if you gave it a try + told me what’s missing, what slaps, and what needs a glow-up.

Hey, I’m Farai.

I was burning cash on LinkedIn Premium and the built-in AI? It sounded nothing like me.

So I built Linkgenie a tool that writes LinkedIn posts that actually sound like you. It makes posting fun again, not a chore.

And the best part? It saves me hours every week, time I now use to solve real problems, not wrestle with blank text boxes.

Didn't know the IDF was active in UK universities.

Students can be stupid and this is a special demographic that thinks it was touched by Jews. And yes, if they use violence and intimidation, their hobby perhaps needs some examination.

For the unrelated conflict in the middle east it certainly isn't helpful in preventing any death. On the contrary, they often demand and justify "holy" wars, fueling even more hatred.

So f these guys, really.

Could they just make it not suck? Like the search system falls apart if you have more than a few thousand messages in a folder, not all that many by today's standards. The address book doesn't let you sort the addresses by most recently added, which is important if you reply to craigslist posts which use numeric forwarding addresses. So once you have more than a handful of them the are impossible to tell apart. It automatically makes new archive folders by year (2023, 2024, 2025...) which is kind of nice, except it shows them oldest first instead of newest first, so you have to scroll way down to get to the current year. The progress bar on the bottom looks like there is constantly something going on, and maybe there is, but it never finishes. Messages sometimes fall through cracks so you can't find them in any folder but you can sometimes find them with global search. And on and on. Stop adding new features or messing up the UI further until basic functionality like this works.

Many commercial properties are on relatively short-term mortgages and are remortgaged regularly. If they rent it out cheaply, then the paper 'value' of the building has dropped, which can make it difficult or impossible to remortgage. It's why you see so many high rent but 'free for the first year' deals - it technically isn't reducing the rent on paper, but many of the tenants vanish 13 months after moving in

Like everything else in manufacturing, economy of scale wins.

There's been plenty of subsidization efforts, but they made the mistake of subsidizing technologies that were too innovative and too early on in the scaling curve. e.g. Solyndra with CIGS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra

> Between 2009 and mid-2011 the price of polysilicon, the key ingredient for most competing technologies, dropped by about 89% due to Chinese advances in the Siemens process.

"Massive cost reduction in the existing, boring, process" beat "new technology". Possibly for the best in this case, since CIGS and CdTe are poisonous in a way that polysilicon isn't.

Maybe 20 years ago I read a book on Henrietta Leavitt who was a 'computer' in the 19th Century. Her and many other women did (mostly hand) calculations for a living. She analyzed photographic plates of stars. She discovered Cepheid stars. After I read that I thought 'Holy Shit'. That's what I do for a living - the moral equivalent of long division by hand on 20 digit numbers all day long - and someday this is going to be automated. People will one day say - I can't believe people coded by hand for living - how tedious. I just didn't think it would happen so fast.

That said, I have loved writing software for 40 years, but I too have lost some joy. I am retired now and am having trouble finding joy in my personal projects. I use the LLM's to write functions for me and I do the rest (and I like not having to deal with minutia any more - but one time I loved taking apart binary files by hand and getting paid well).

I liken it to too many choices. If you have 2 cars to choose from, you can feel good about your choice. But from 40, you are always saying, Hmmm, maybe I should have gotten that 17th choice instead of the 26th.

Back then. A C compiler, a linker, a manual and a couple books. Get to work. Create something by your own hand.

Now when I find the right project, usually music related, and it get's under my skin, I get those old vibes and I love it.

I guess I'm glad I'm out of the rat race - but in all honesty - I little envious too of the younger gen who embrace the new tech. Yea - I wish I had it back then!

> it offers almost no protection against the websites you may browse to (how could it?) > All you have to do is combine the "anonymized" data with data from other sources

I'm struggling to understand why. Can you give a very specific example of how I, using Tor browser to browse web, can still be tracked as an individual? What are "other sources"?

Each session of Tor browser has a randomized IP and user agent, and moreover if JavaScript requests for instance the "screen width" of the device, it gives some random numbers. Letterboxing, anti-fingerprinting in action: https://support.torproject.org/tbb/maximized-torbrowser-wind...

> True anonymization is possible: it requires the collector to just keep general aggregate statistics and to immediately delete

Most businesses store all that "raw" data (pageview and other events) to process it later. It's reasonable – hard to build and unify it otherwise, but at the end of the day it gets aggregated. To add, they have their own data retention policy. So the best and minimally required one can do IMO is to use aka "incognito mode" when browsing, if it matters.

The "heavy" model is $300/month. These prices seem to keep increasing while we were promised they'll keep decreasing. It feels like a lot of these companies do not have enough GPUs which is a problem Google likely does not have.

I can already use Gemini 2.5 Pro for free in AI studio. Crazier still, I can even set the thinking budget to a whopping 32k and still not pay a dime. Maybe Gemini 3.0 will be available for free as well.

Yeah, I meant specifically C in an ergonomic way with operators working on them and being passable to existing functions.

Though wrapping in different structs doesn't seem to even make gcc & clang properly optimize utilizing the types as non-aliasing: https://godbolt.org/z/r1MT9W9db. Clang just completely fails to do anything, but gcc somehow manages to reorder the load but not do the trivial part of constant-propagating afterwards..

You need to export the profile and re-import on each machine. If you make any changes on one machine you want to see it reflected on the others.

The profile import is a bit iffy and there was some odd issues with downloading profiles over 2GB IIRC, the last time I did it (which was over 2 years ago).

There seems to be a lot of focus on features that IMO that I couldn't care less about and some outright stupid UI decisions like the context menus being changed after 20 years for god knows what reasons.

The result was that I just gave up and use Thunderbird on one machine and web-mail on all the others. I suspect I will just drop Thunderbird as a result.

There's geopolitical implications. Solar is long stability, short conflict. It's easy to cut undersea cables, it's easy for instability arriving to one the landlocked countries in the middle of transit. This creates systemic risks that are asymmetric with respect to offense and defense.

Many would see this as an invitation to retreat from solar, but I view it as the opposite. Widespread solar will cause peace via the capitalist peace theory, similar to the role that trade plays in staking everyone in mutual stability. Stability will become a public good that everyone will want to preserve. Solar will be another part of the international diplomatic-cultural-economic web that binds countries together in mutual interest.

Resiliency can be figured out with creativity, it's not something to give up on at the first challenge.

To be fair, natural gas and oil shares similar systemic risks, whether it's pipelines open to sabotage or water transits being subject to blockade, such as the Malacca dilemma that China would face if it invades Taiwan. But at least with solar, it won't ruin countries with the resource curse, and in principle it doesn't give a small number of countries leverage since anyone can produce this fairly basic commodity.

Hey HN!

After drowning in 50,000+ unorganized photos across multiple devices and much frustration, I built FlipFocus Photo Organizer to solve my own problem.

What it does: * Smart organization - Sorts by date/device/EXIF automatically * Duplicate detection - Finds duplicates even with different filenames * 100% offline - Your photos never leave your device * Cross-platform - macOS & Windows

Why I built it: A lot of photo organizers either require cloud (privacy concerns) or are manual/tedious. I wanted something that respects privacy while being intelligent enough to handle years of photo chaos.

Tech stack: Built with Electron, Node.js and Angular. Price: €19.99 one-time purchase (no subscriptions)

The privacy-first approach means everything runs locally, no internet required after download. It helped me create oversight of years of digital photos and save me hours of work I otherwise had to spend manually organizing photos.

Would love your feedback, especially from fellow digital hoarders!

I know exactly what it does – I just think it is incredibly misguided. Cookie walls and consent banners are not uniformly legal; there are repeated instances of the IAG's "default" option being found to be breaking EU law by many national regulators. I don't want _any_ form of tracking, beyond the inevitable server-side usage logs, of what I do on a website. None. Nil. Nada. I don't consent to GA, Adobe Tags, or anything like that – and I both make that choice explicit by declining tracking and by blocking them at source. By proxying requests for the scripts that I (and google's own extensions for people like me!) explicitly chose to block at an OS level as well as in my browser you are directly _not_ complying with my requests and your actions – and this product – may well be manifestly illegal.

If I see an obsfucated load of JS as a website, I (and good search engines like Kagi) automatically distrusted that site and I will be far less likely to visit in the future. Give me plain html, make it fast, and make it readable. I realise most people aren't as extreme as perhaps I am, but honestly I suspect a very high percentage of computer-using professionals are -- and we're likely to be a particular market segment that the owners of sites that would be your target audience would wish to court.

Who needs 貂蝉 when we have 英子ちゃん?

(it's not just a western obsession; Deepthink's suggestion for the album cover of a Fonsi vs. Yongming remix "Dale despacito… 愛の火計！" included a photobombing 孙悟空 — only his magical staff is a glowstick)

EDIT: oops, think I hit some guardrails. Inspired by the parallel apartment balcony scenes, I started to get output for "Ya Boy Yongming" remixed with "Ivan Vasilievich Changes His Profession", but then it all disappeared to be replaced by "Sorry, that's beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." What's wrong with asking for party boys crossed with Party boys? «Танцуют все!»

There is another side to it. Instead of using open solutions, big business then copies the open solution to a degree that is permissable or a copyright vioaltion deniable. It can easily stomach the development costs. And in that case would outcompete you as well, as they offer service level agreements and build a consumer product around you solutions.

On the contrary, you would penalize small business, because they cannot stomach the increased developing costs. Large businesses wouldn't even notice the change.

Sure, for software exclusive businesses there were cases were a too permissive licence was counter productive for economic success.

Does it count as irrational if he can get a puppet President elected, have his child mock that person publically while he's present, and repeatedly urge the trusted AI authority he presents for people's use into opinionizing on Boers and Mecha-Hitler?

It sounds like he is getting exactly what he wants. That's the most rational thing about him in what's otherwise a storm of ketamine. I think all the other stuff he thinks is flat-out insane, but exploiting X and pushing it as hard as he can, that's about as rational and effective as Elon ever gets.

Thanks for linking that. I've tried Thunderbird a couple of times in the past and quite liked it, but that thread has put me off using it forever.

What are you basing this on? Because:

https://www.carolinapoliticalreview.org/editorial-content/20...

> the report shows X’s dedication to content moderation by suspending millions of accounts and removing harmful posts, which could potentially help rebuild trust among users concerned with safety and dangerous behavior. On the other hand, this increased moderation contradicts Musk’s earlier promise of promoting free speech, something he has been very vocal about, potentially alienating users who see X becoming more restrictive.
