The vast majority of the most-successful people in any field, by whatever definition of "success" that field has, are people who would do it even if they weren't successful. You can't fake it. The old saying that "hard work trumps anything else" is an almost-cruel thing to say to kids who don't know any better: A person swimming downstream will exert the same calories as one swimming upstream, do the same work, but end up swimming ten times further.

In theory, a business should be worth more alive than dead, so a young dentist looking to start their own practice should be willing to pay more than a PE that plans to break the bones and suck out the marrow. On an individual business scale, that's hit or miss. When entire industries start getting swallowed up? It's because something fundamental is wrong with the industry.

For example, Family Dining restaurants (i.e, relatively cheap sit down restaurants where the appeal is more the service than the food like Red Lobster, Chili's, Applebees, etc) are doomed, and have been for a while. Millennials and younger, on average, value table service less than their parents did, preferring fast casual restaurants (restaurants where you order at the counter, but are a step up from fast food) with better food in the same price bracket. This trend is widely known, so there's a shortage of people willing to buy up family dining franchises. But there's a lot of capital tied up in these restaurants. So in swoops PE, to basically bet that they can make more money killing the business than its current owners are able/willing to.

I think the ‘fast’ claims are just different. QUIC is meant to make things fast by:

- having a lower latency handshake

- avoiding some badly behaved ‘middleware’ boxes between users and servers

- avoiding resetting connections when user up addresses change

- avoiding head of line blocking / the increased cost of many connections ramping up

- avoiding poor congestion control algorithms

- probably other things too

And those are all things about working better with the kind of network situations you tend to see between users (often on mobile devices) and servers. I don’t think QUIC was meant to be fast by reducing OS overhead on sending data, and one should generally expect it to be slower for a long time until operating systems become better optimised for this flow and hardware supports offloading more of the work. If you are Google then presumably you are willing to invest in specialised network cards/drivers/software for that.

Well, Israel successfully won several wars without the US support in its early years. And right now the Israeli weapons manufacturers are booming, look at deals with the romania and Germany.

Its great that most people don’t have problem with our existence, but our neighbors do. That’s why we have wars.

And comparing it to the holocaust is quite different, in the entire Jewish history we never seeked to destroy anyone, we were always targeted because of antisemitism. The Palestinians? They are taught in schools that we are the devil.

There seems to be a confusion here.

Pulsar has been widely adopted in many mission-critical business-facing systems like billing, payment, transaction processing, or used a unified platform that consolidate enterprises diverse streaming & messaging use cases. It has quite a lot of adoptions from F500 companies, hyperscalers, to startups.

Kafka is used for in data ingestion and streaming pipeline. Kafka protocol itself is great. However, the implementation has its own challenges.

Both Pulsar and Kafka are great open source projects and their protocols are designed for different use cases. We have seen many different companies use both technologies.

Ursa is the underlying streaming engine that we re-implemented to be leaderless and lakehouse-native so that we can better leverage the current cloud infrastructure and natively integrate with broader lakehouse ecosystem. It is the engine we used to support both in our product offerings.

This misses the point.

The person I replied to was saying that American manufacturing was trending towards lower quality because of a shift in culture in American companies that sacrificed quality for profit.

The fact that Sig guns are manufactured in the US, or the fact that they are guns as opposed to some other product, are not actually relevant to that. Since Sig is a German company, then one would expect that they would not be subject to the same drop in quality OP described. Since they are, that indicates that the problem described is present in Europe as well and is not a uniquely American phenomenon.

Pix is similar to cash and completely replaces debit cards.

Credit cards are a completely different story. They allow floating one's expenses and paying it off all at once on a monthly basis. They allow paying in installments which is normal in Brazil. They transfer at least some responsibility for fraud to the credit card companies. They give assorted benefits and cashback. Since they are credit lines, they also enable leveraging: people can buy things they want or need now and pay it off in the future bit by bit while investing the money that they would have spent. The debt is partially inflated away while the invested money generates some returns.

A credit form of Pix is allegedly coming but has not materialized yet.

True, but the last time I checked (several years ago), the size of the portion of code that is not drivers or kernel modules was still 7 million lines of code, and the average system still has to load a few million more via kernel modules and drivers. That is still a phenomenally large attack surface.

The SeL4 kernel is 10k lines of code. OKL4 is 13k. QNX is ~30k.

I was wondering, with AI and stuff, why do we still rely on human likes and dislikes? (in general, not HN-specific)

It seems like an ideal application of text-based inference: to assign points depending on how someone interacts in a discussion (using correct factual arguments, not straying away, not misdirecting, being considerate and reasonable, and so on).

It surprises me that no one tried it before.

So, why we don't have any automated explicit karma-based moderator anywhere?

That's definitely a real thing. It's beneficial to try to steer the ship rather than stop it - instead of buying like-new stuff, restrict yourself to getting second-hand stuff from FB marketplace or Craigslist, or to sales. This can serve the dual purposes of saving you money on your initial investment and also reining in your overall collection of more gunk to clutter up your home over time.

Living in the city I sometimes wonder if this isn't what garage sales were amazing for; gather up all your stuff that you don't touch anymore, lay it out on the driveway, and people come to you to take it away rather than you having to hunt them down.

Maybe there's benefit in some kind of "temporary hobbyist" FB group or similar, where people who are excited to start a hobby they know they won't continue with can pick up an entire batch of like-new equipment from people who started a hobby they didn't continue with.

> You've got to be kidding. No one is going to keep wearing those masks, regardless of whether they get reinfected occasionally.

Give people the facts about COVID, that it is basically like airborne AIDS, and then let them decide. Unfortunately they were never given that chance thanks to capital's forced messaging on the issue. Even most doctors are drinking the Koolaid. Everyone has a nuked immune system and have become used to getting sick constantly as a result, all seasons of the year.

> "Long COVID" isn't anything unique or special. An infection by most any virus can cause similar long-term symptoms in a subset of patients.

What's different about SARS-COV-2 is that it's constantly mutating and reinfecting at drastically greater rates than anything else we're used to dealing with. Each reinfection increases the risk of long COVID, causes measurable IQ loss, etc.

But keep burying your head in the sand so that you can remain blissfully ignorant.

> but please make sure you keep the search product top of mind and make sure that's a sustainable business.

Having best web search in the world has been our bread&butter from day one. This is what so many people pay us for!

Great search becomes even more important in the age of agents - model quality is converging to the same spot across frontier models and what will make great answers different from mediocre ones is the quality of search fed to them. We are currently testing v2 of our Search API with select partners and plan to make this generally available soon.

We 100% intend to continue to dominate this and we heavilly invest and innovate in search quality space. A major announcement soon.

Honestly sounds like you handled it very well. Starting with strong parental controls, then gradually decreasing it as they become more mature and understanding of the dangers is definitely the best way to provide online safety, without being overly restrictive or invasive. The important part being that they can learn what's normal from the real world before going into the digital world.

I just wish that this was the standard for every child. So many of them are handed completely unrestricted tablets and smartphones from a very young age these days.

I’ve done conceptual work on this for the last year, my RSS reader does try picking high quality comments from HN relevant to my interests together with 108 other RSS feeds. The results are promising but not revolutionary yet.

Further progress is blocked by the need to develop a general test classifier, that is blocked by the project of migrating my arangodb systems (like my RSS reader) to Postgres.

day 1 of peaceful march of return:

Hundreds of young Palestinians, however, ignored warnings by the organizers and the Israeli military to avoid the border zone.[74] Some began throwing stones and Molotov cocktails, to which Israel responded by declaring the Gaza border zone a closed military zone and opening fire at them.[55] The events of the day were some of the most violent in recent years.[75] In one incident, two Palestinian gunmen approached the fence, armed with AK-47 assault rifles and hand grenades, and exchanged fire with IDF soldiers. They were killed and their bodies were recovered by the IDF.

With the caveat that I have not spent a serious amount of time trying to get RAG to work - my brief attempt to use it via AWS knowledge base to compare it vs agentic search resulted in me sticking with agentic search (via Claude code SDK)

My impression was there’s lots of knobs you can tune with RAG and it’s just more complex in general - so maybe there’s a point where the amount of text I have is large enough that that complexity pays off - but right now agentic search works very well and is significantly simpler to get started with

I've been self-hosting a Unifi controller (now called 'Unifi Network') for years in a Docker container, and before that I'd run it on a Windows machine whenever I needed to make changes to the configuration - I assume this pivot to call the self-hosted version 'UniFi OS' implies a future where more than just the Network application can be self-hosted.

It has good properties compared to tcp-in-tcp (http/2), especially when connected to clients without access to modern congestion control on iffy networks. http/2 was perhaps adopted too broadly; binary protocol is useful, header compression is useful (but sometimes dangerous), but tcp multiplexing is bad, unless you have very low loss ... it's not ideal for phones with inconsistent networking.

> There is something incredibly human about creating art like this.

There's also something a little sad in that it's just one more artistic work created as an ad. Advertising has been one of the few ways artists have been able to actually make money in this world. So much of the artistic creativity and ingenuity of humanity has been funneled into outputting lies, manipulation, and corporate promotion. I have to wonder what artistic works we'd be able to talk about if these artists were able to make a living creating something other than marketing/propaganda.

I suspect that AI means fewer artists working on ads and it'll probably be a while before companies get sick of just regurgitating the history of artistic talent fed into their models and start employing artists again to make something new.

Thanks so much! The ikea was such a cool thing do to, here is the video btw https://www.reddit.com/r/mcp/comments/1jxdi4g/i_wrote_an_mcp...

Yes we plan to do more infrastructure work for sure, the idea is that larger teams will need a centralized place where they can configure their MCPs, monitor them, and define access control rules, create agents with specific permissions and capabilities. The old infrastructure (in the dev tool sense) does not really lend itself well to this new use cases.

We are building in this direction and we plan to open source this aspect as well, for now we are working closely with few large companies to first understand their pains deeply.

Sure, let's "do" them. Show the numbers you have in mind.

I don't understand why you are going after that strawman. Settler colonialism is a term that contrasts with exploitative or extractive colonialism, i.e. when a colonial endeavour is established primarily for the purpose of natural resources. That is not the case in Palestine. One could argue that it is true for the israeli diamond industry but I'd rather not, since it would likely soon slide into discourse regarding the existence of neocolonialism and so on.

>We do need to start talking about the failure of capitalism.

People have been talking about the failures of capitalism long before the word was coined, going back to at least Abraham buying land with silver coins in 1675 BC and Jesus throwing out the money changers.

Although it's a mess, people are generally better off than a while ago or under non capitalist systems.

Ursa is available across all major cloud providers (GCP, Azure, AWS). It also supports pluggable write ahead log storage. For latency relaxed workloads, we use object storage to get the cost down. So it works with AWS S3, GCP GCS, Azure Blob Store. For latency sensitive workloads, we use Apache BookKeeper which is a low-latency replicated log storage. This allows us to support workloads ranging from milliseconds to sub-seconds. You can tune it based on latency and cost requirements.

> people don't talk about it socially either

Yeah totally, and I'd say that's exactly because of "status", which is mentioned:

High-status professions are the hardest ones to unpack

Status is the thing people tend to communicate socially, not what they actually do day to day

I remember a pg line that cuts to the core of this:

Many customers do, and in fact Orion feedback forum [1] is more active than Kagi feedback forum [2] (we do not have any telemetry and all product input is given directly by our users).

While Kagi has "only" about 50k customers, Orion was downloaded more than a million times last year and continues to be a major distribution channel and entry point for the Kagi eco-sytem. (you are not seeing any ads for Kagi right? Our products are our "ads", that is how we grow + wonderful user community)

And while you can use Kagi in any browser, it is a really nice experience when you use Orion (and it will get only better as we build more integrations). We are also aware about cross-platform users - which is why we are also developing Orion for Linux as the next platform, with more to come.

Not sure what point you wanted to make by linking to the comment - happy to address it after clarification.

Outlaw communicating with legislators to try to get them to adopt a position on legislation?

Or do you mean outlawing paid lobbying on behalf of third parties?

The first would obviously be deeply problematic even if it was possible to police, the latter would probably generally be ineffective however you managed to operationalize it.

I can only speak from my experience living in the 1980s US. At that time, if you publicly announced you supported "Saving the Whales" or "Protecting our Forests", it was a form of identity politics. You were announcing you were left of center and probably rejected traditional values etc.

Because it was political, it was not necessary logical or beneficial. Some good came out of it such as maybe we should stop spraying pesticides everywhere and take another look if these pesticides were safe for human contact. Some of it was self-defeating. The left claimed they supported working people but some of their policies hurt working people like NIMBY.

You're probably running what's currently called, I think, UniFi Network Server (at one point it was UniFi Controller?).

That lets you configure networking devices but it isn't the "full" Ubiquiti ecosystem (Identity, Site Manager/SD-WAN/Teleport).

Basically before you could run one "app" (the network management one) locally, but Unifi ship a grid of cloud "apps" that you see when you log into unifi.ui.com .

Now they're shipping the thing that hosts the grid itself (enabling multi-site stuff like SD-WAN and the firmware update server), some more of the apps (Identity) and presumably they'll roll out more apps in the future.

creating an account just to respond to you, because i just got to the end of a 8 ish year journey playing with a local band and the reason i stopped has a lot to do with this unpacking. we never toured, and i would have loved to do exactly one, but i realized that i am not crazy about music in the sense of the article. even weekend gigs mean many hours of driving and spending most of your time with the band, who are cool guys but not nearly as cool as your SO.

don't get me wrong, i LOVE playing live, and i hope you find a way to do so, because it really is great, but going to that next level really does take being a little nuts. stories about people shedding on their instrument for 8 hours, and then going out and jamming for 6 more hours until 4 am, every day. music is really important to my life, but when push comes to shove i don't care about it that much!

Every time a system that allows for internet content to be blocked is created, it's extended, misused and abused shortly thereafter.

You've just described ADHD perfectly, I'm sorry to say.

People who don't have this sort of ADHD level of executive dysfunction are capable of completing projects. The "exciting start" vs "abandoning them as soon as they're not exciting" thing is a core criteria for ADHD in my experience.

Neurotypical people don't have this same experience; they don't start something new because they're excited about it and then bail out halfway through and never go back. I can't understand what that kind of life would be like, but they do it. Meanwhile, people with ADHD, especially undiagnosed, are constantly starting projects because they're excited, hyperfocussing on them for some length of time, and then bailing out never to return.

In my experience, comments like yours usually tend to come from people who have undiagnosed ADHD. Maybe that's not the case, but from what I've seen it often is.

Then no high-level decisions would get made. Any technical argument that spans beyond one person would be at risk of running into an eternal stalemate. No strategic choices would be undertaken.

That suggests a new kind of WYSIWYG editor. It only does declarative HTML/CSS, no Javascript. Maybe it edits the DOM, not the source. When you save to a file, the HTML and CSS are generated. Maybe use Webkit to do the rendering.

If you want any Javascript, it has to be in a separate .js file, not mixed in with the document.

I've started using Readwise, which can take RSS feeds or OPML and it has a great API and a great app. Highly recommend. I'm not sure it generates an RSS feed, but you could request that as a feature, they're still in Beta. That said, I use their API to build my own RSS feed on my own static generated site to display read later items and make it so people can subscribe. If you're interested, my code for dealing with Readwise is here: https://github.com/AramZS/aramzs.xyz/blob/main/bin/enrichers... , though I'm still improving it and cleaning it up.
