Sure, but I think the question is who will win the domain specific use cases (delivery, not API). Delivery of the agentic workflows is up for anyone to win (players like Perplexity, Lovable, etc) and OpenAI/Gemini/Anthropic is in a way only a vendor to that by providing what will become a commoditized function calling API/MCP provider.

For me personally, I agree that wanting non-adults to be able get at online porn is commendable, and the fact that the tech industry is scrambling over itself to comply is evidence that this Act has teeth. However, what bugs me personally is that 1) The Government had nearly 2 years head start to set up a centralised ID repository, hopefully basing it on the same model as the DVLA and Passport Office sharing photo and other data. They did not. 2) Verification sites are not UK based, and therefore subject to the same mistrust with handling PII - which obviously can't be replaced. 3) There are no Goverment-created apps that can/should handle ID verification despite the fact that these would probably solve 95% of the problem. 4) Feature overreach: if you want to surveil your citizens, be honest for once and don't use the knee-jerk carrot of it "being for the kids" - we're not as stupid as you think (unfortunately).

That is all.

> You must know by heart the most common algorithms out there and design solutions that might involve two or three of them to solve a problem in 30 minutes.

You're not going to pass every interview. Some of them are truly outlandish, and require all of the above.

What you need is the technical knowledge to translate requirements into a loose pattern like "This looks like a search problem", then have the charisma (or more accurately, practice) to walk the interviewer through how each search algorithm you know could apply there. Then of course be able to actually write some code.

I've passed interviews where I had never heard of the datastructure they wanted me to solve it with; I just walked them through the tradeoffs of every data structure that I knew applied to it instead.

The history of the last ~100 years of the study of democracy by basically pro-broad-franchise-democracy academics has been a journey from:

"Well, the masses must not be stupid, as restricted-franchise and anti-democratic folks have suggested, because this seems to kinda work. Let's study voter behavior to learn more about this."

to

"Uh. OK so we checked a hundred different ways, several times each to be sure, and they're in-fact incredibly poorly informed and have awful reasoning skills and their behavior, in aggregate, isn't driven by what we might hope it is at all. But, uh... I really want there to be a good outcome here, so, um, let's make some fuzzy guesses at how some kind of Wisdom of Crowds thingy and some sort of system-equilibria-seeking effects might save us? And let's keep double-checking those studies that kept proving voters are really dumb, because maybe... maybe we got something wrong?"

to

"Yeah all that was bullshit cope on our parts, it's all wrong. It's amazing this works at all. Voters are amazingly stupid, to a degree that's so hard to believe we spent decades and decades making sure—like it's proven about as surely as is the law of universal gravitation; cannot practically be educated out of that, maybe at all, and especially not if we first have to get them to vote to make that happen; and everything's basically held together by noise and circumstance and social norms, until it isn't. Go ahead and make that whisky a double. And line up another."

One of the stated goals is to have long-term support and maintainability. Adding in a dependency like an IDE is already a large step away from that goal, and to include a dependency on a LLM's non-auditable output actively steps away from that.

Comments in source code are always going to meet the maintainer's intention and will much more likely cover the use cases that comments are meant to cover - unintuitive cases or decisions, unclear algorithms, general usage to point maintainers in the right direction, and so on. More importantly, comments in the source code require no additional tools or other dependencies and as such are more dependable.

Email: mike@geary.com

Hi, I'm Michael Geary. I've programmed in many languages and environments over the years. Some of my current interests are:

• Aviation and geographic data. For example, airspace and obstacle data importers for Wing; election results and voter information maps for Google; many interactive maps for other companies.

• Hardware interfacing. In a way, I am a "full stack" developer, but my stack may involve a front end to a piece of hardware rather than the cloud. I first got into programming via ham radio, so RF hardware remains an interest.

• Designing and building APIs. Too often an API is designed by exposing the internals of whatever system provides the API. My philosophy is the opposite: start with the apps. I like to build a series of sample apps before starting on the API. This way I can imagine what API will make those apps and others like them easy to build.

• Talk with users! I don't like to sit in a back room cranking out code. I want to make sure it's the right code for what my users need, and that it's easy to maintain and improve as we learn more about what they want.

Open to full time or contract.

I look forward to talking with you!

This is why arguing politics with these guys is pointless. I once naively thought I could bring around one of my MAGA friends to the light side by focusing on policy but it just doesn't work. He admitted that everything Team R is doing is not really helping him but in the end it's always something like: "Look, I was born a Republican, my family is Republican, I will never vote Democrat, no matter what any of them do. We have to trust Trump to do the right thing." It's truly a religion. There is no getting to these people.

Demand is out pacing supply because while the greatest and silent generation was happy to retire on stonks, pensions and bonds the boomers all went out and bought more and more homes and condos and whatnot for rental income.

It used to be that rental housing was either owner occupied, like a landlord living on one side of a duplex or it was a big commercial investment. The current trend of every idiot having their starter house from 20yr ago listed as an airBnB wasn't a thing back then.

So basically we "need" way more housing per capita now so that they can all have their stupid little side gigs.

There's a current in human affairs to be sure. By 2000 it had just about washed Perl as far east as Memphis, where it became the first language in which I considered myself to be doing "real programming," and not long after the springboard into the first 20 years of an engineering career whose last 20 look likely to embody a role Tim Leary might have purported to recognize. (The last time having a genuine conversation with a computer was really part of the public vernacular, so was he, of course! Wrong about everything as always, but sometimes provocatively so.)

I'm not sorry to have stopped working in Perl, broken cups or no; thinking back on my time with it puts me forcibly in mind of what I believe to have been Wirth's comments on the hazards of early exposure to BASIC, and "The Rails' Progress" in the late 2000s and after I would nominate as the corresponding farce.

This can be fixed with sane campaign finance laws. Every elected Democrat I know is willing to enact those if Citizens United is overruled. And every Democratic-appointed Justice on the Supreme Court would vote to overturn Citizens United. I know it sounds trite, but voting for Democrats again and again, flawed as they are, for generations, is the only way we're going to get out of this mess.

But there was already a free way you could file taxes with Turbotax, FreeTaxUSA, and H&RBlock if you had a simple return. Direct File was a government built alternative to that.

Eg: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/free-editi...

If there was also a free flow available, why would the government need to build an alternative?
by hopelite | 2025-08-01 15:06:33+00:00
Can you clarify why you said "Humanity just doesn't ever learn."? It could be interpreted both ways. That the current regime believes its own actions will never be turned against them or, inversely, they will keep control over the tools of repression. Or it could be interpreted that you believe the governments implementing these narrow-sighted tyrannical measures are the "fascists" that will do things you don't like?

I put "fascist" in quotes, because it has become an utterly useless and impressive term that is far more noise than signal due to imprecise and inaccurate overuse. Call them aristocrats, oligarchs, despots, tyrants, authoritarians... but saying that the ruling classes of most western societies are motivated by the metaphor of keeping together for strength is simply not a credible position.

Thank you! We 100% agree. My research back in Cambridge was on misinformation, so we take the danger of misuse very seriously even as a tiny team of 3 people right now. As a social science researcher, one big challenge we faced was just how difficult it was to run experiments - it's quite unethical (and impossible) to have 100k people under policy A and 100k under policy B, so as a result, we as a society struggle to find the "golden path" with big issues like misinformation, climate change, or even everyday economics.

That's what motivated me to start researching in the area of creating "Artificial Societies" - first as an academic project, now as a product everyone can use, because I believe the best way to build a new technology is to try to make it useful for as many people as possible, rather than reserving it for governments and enterprises only. That's why unlike other builders in this space, we've made it a rule to never touch defence use cases; that's why we've gone against much business wisdom to produce a consumer product that anyone can use, rather than going after bigger budgets.

We totally agree that synthetic audiences should never replace listening to real people - we ourselves actually insist on doing manual user interviews so that we can feel our users pain ourselves. We hope what we build doesn't replace traditional methods, but expands what market research can do - that's why we try to simulate how people behave in communities and influence one another, so that we capture the ripple effects that a traditional survey ignores because it treats humans like isolated line items, rather than the communities we really are.

Hopefully, one day, just like a new plane is first tested in a wind tunnel before risking the life of a test pilot, a new policy will also first be tested in an artificial society, before risking unintended consequences in real participants. We are still in the early days though, so for now, we are just working hard to make a product people would love to use :)

You would design an app without docs in 30 minutes as step 1 of the process. On the job, of course, you'd then expand on it with reference to docs and such. But everyone I know who's good at designing systems starts with a basic from-first-principles draft, and I expect any senior engineer I work with to be able to discuss one.

> Europe will end up having draconian oversight and censorship that will be abused beyond belief by fascists.

As a non-European, I see the benefits of the EU efforts, but I also see them (the suits in Brussels) getting hooked on power and control in the last ~7 years.

As an example:

"The EU Commission refuses to disclose the orchestrators behind its mass surveillance proposal, which would effectively end citizens’ online privacy." - https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1l2655n/the_eu_comm...

High Court notice from the mentioned court case: https://pretty.direct/consentorder.pdf

> The Defendants accept that they have never had any evidence to support the allegations apart from the two unverified claims published in coordination with the Open Letter. They were never in a position to make any informed judgement on the truth of the allegations, and did not seek clarification on any of the allegations from the Claimant.

He won £5,000 plus costs.

It's not that simple. If it were that simple Android Studio wouldn't show you a big red error when you do that and they wouldn't have built an entire assistant for the purpose of incrementing a number[0]. The reason is that bumping the targetSdkVersion changes various behavior, sometimes in a breaking manner. A good recent example is that 34 -> 35 will force edgeToEdge rendering on all activities unless you opt-out per-window (and 35 -> 36 removes the opt-out). So simply doing what you said would probably lead to UI elements appearing behind the nav/status bars and the app being unusable (on API 35+ devices, from my understanding).

I must not be following the UX for this tool

1. click configmap in the sidebar

1. observe configmap dialog in the layout

Also observe that the "kind" is "Configmap" but the Kubernetes resource is ConfigMap, as one can see here https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-ap...

Your tool does the same thing for CronJob being erroneously written as Cronjob so it is a systemic problem

1. expand "data" chevron

1. be sad because nothing else is possible

1. ok, so type "true" into the "immutable" field. It doesn't seem to turn the red icon green. Type "my dog is snoopy". Nothing else changes

Be aware that, yes, there are "status" responses on a bunch of the objects, but to the very best of my knowledge one can never set a "status" because the user doesn't control the status rather reality controls the status, otherwise I'd cheerfully always set my Pods to never CLBO :-P

>The OP above you is guaranteed to have had their food spat in or otherwise tortured as punishment for not tipping.

Wait, what??? Do you honestly believe the worker pours a cup of coffee in a to-go cup, hands it to me, checks the receipt for a tip, then grabs it back to spit in it? What kind of delusional thinking is this? How does the food delivery person even know the tip amount before the receipt? This kind of thinking is exactly why the system is so out of hand.

This appears to be what Aylo think, essentially:

https://www.aylo.com/assets/files/age_verification_fact_shee...

And I think this is right. If Apple and Google can add a thing that lets us track Covid exposure they can surely figure out secure age attestation.

As it is, you can use your mobile phone for simple age attestation in the UK anyway, since mobile phone companies block adult content by default until they are unblocked, as a parental control measure.

I guess my broader point is that there will undoubtedly be a bunch of churn as these models advance and a pricing war takes place. Specially if the open models continue to advance at a similar rate (e.g., Llama, Deepseek, Qwen)

We've seen this in many industries where it's a duopoly / oligopoly or even more players where margins get really squeezed

I have been tempted to drop tmux locally for native Ghostty panes/tabs, but I prefer the single height tmux status bar with window list only (set -g status-left '' + set -g status-right '') vs the thicker window decorations using macos-titlebar-style = tabs.

I did come up with Ghostty bindings to replicate my tmux settings if it helps anyone (my tmux leader is ctrl + space):

# clear default bindings + add paste back keybind=clear keybind=super+v=paste_from_clipboard # navigate panes keybind=ctrl+h=goto_split:left keybind=ctrl+j=goto_split:bottom keybind=ctrl+k=goto_split:top keybind=ctrl+l=goto_split:right keybind=ctrl+space>shift+apostrophe=new_split:down keybind=ctrl+space>shift+five=new_split:right keybind=ctrl+space>space=equalize_splits keybind=ctrl+space>z=toggle_split_zoom # navigate tabs keybind=ctrl+space>c=new_tab keybind=ctrl+space>one=goto_tab:1 ... keybind=ctrl+space>zero=goto_tab:10

It's better to wait until you have a localized version in English, and post it.

Anyway, do you have a technical blog? If you have some interesting anecdotes of technical problems that you solved to make the site, they may be good post for HN. Some ideas:

* A long time ago, non-ascii characters used to cause problems. I think it's fixed now in most platforms.

* Have you deployed it in a second cafeteria? There is a lot of custom code that work for N=1 and must be rewriten for N=2.

PS: In the contact part of your site, it says email@gmail.com

PS2: At the bottom, it says "Website built by Unknown" with a link to your github profile.

PS3: Taking a look, this project is in GitHub with a MIT license! https://github.com/IMmercato/paninaro You can submit a link to the repo in github that has a readme in English. The title may be "Paninaro: a cloud-based SaaS platform for restaurants" or something that makes sense. And then make a comment explaining that you are the author, are happy to reply questions and a short backstory about the school cafeteria. I recommend to wait until Monday because if you post your projects everyday, people will complain. (Waiting until Monday is a recommendation that is too careful. There is no hard rule, but for new users is a good idea to wait a few days before reposting.)

> But I do want to see how they cope with the stress of needing to track and articulate complex control flow and edge cases through their program in a timed environment - that's part of every day if you're building ambitious systems, and it's a skillset that continues to be relevant even in an era of agentic coding. Testing for the response to that stress makes coding interviews highly relevant in my experience.

I think this is still an apples to oranges comparison though, there is a huge difference between writing code for niche puzzle problems, with somebody looking at you do it, with the pressure to perform to pass an interview. This is unbelievably different from day to day work, even under time pressure.
