Nobody pays for news from the NYT. NYT is a game developer that also provides news on the side. Their games are their main draw; my gf subscribes and never reads the news.

The legacy media were advertising companies who also happened to provide news. People aren't willing to subscribe for advertising, but they will for games.

Yes, that's exactly what we do. Some examples: https://github.com/eosphoros-ai/DB-GPT/pull/2650, https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/pull/30002

We just need to follow responsible disclosure first by notifying the maintainers, working with them on a fix, and making it public once it is resolved.

That's not what the person said. Give a little bit of the benefit of the doubt when interpreting posts. Using the context of a person who grew up and was educated in the Anglosphere. Obviously the ivy league is going to be one of the more attractive options for finding a larger group of elite mathematical researchers. They have a ton of funding compared to most places and draw in many other brilliant people from around the world. That doesn't mean there's no elite thinkers anywhere else, just that it's inevitably going to be a strong contender for where a very bright person looking for that kind of environment would consider.

Yeah. We've coasted for a long time on importation of geniuses and on being the only un-bombed industrial nation ... in 1946.

And now we've largely closed the door to geniuses from wealthy countries. (Why take the risk of living in the USA right now?) We've even taken the first few steps towards deliberately driving out the geniuses we have. I didn't expect that even six months ago.

Video doesn't really touch on it, but one of the niceties about the Lisa over the later MacOS is that it had multitasking. Many years before System 7 and the Macintosh got it. And it had memory protection. Something the Macintosh wouldn't get until it replaced its OS entirely with OS X 20 years later.

It was technically superior in so many ways, and it's a bit sad that instead of Apple evolving it and getting its price down, Jobs was allowed to basically kill the project after he was taken off of it and replace it with an inferior clone.

>Are there still customers giving tips as "a reward for good service"?

As in any tip at all? No, from me. I don’t think I’ve never _not_ tipped when the situation expects it (sit down restaurant being served). I know the person there is being paid less than minimum wage (where I live), which is already too low in my opinion, so they get something.

The amount of the tip certainly is highly dependent on level of service. That could be a significant difference at the end. I’ve tipped over 100% when the staff has done someone that stood out to me.

(Having been a server in the past and now in tech, I feel guilty about the work-level/salary imbalance, so I am generally generous with my tips.)

Tesco in the UK literally has this but only for staff. If you work for Tesco you can access any shop, view a map, view where stock is on a shelf, check stock numbers and expected delivery and all that stuff.

Things that would absolutely be an amazing QOL improvement for any shopper. But they won't let you have it because they WANT you to bumble your way around a shop. They don't want you to know where things are. That's why they move shelves around seemingly at random.

lol no. They're waging a war against a captive civilian population in a way that shocks the conscience and horrifies most neutral observers.

There were a thousand other paths they could have taken to "eradicate Hamas," but they chose the one that has no endgame, has thus far left Hamas in power, and inflicts nearly maximal human suffering. (They should have set up a humanitarian corridor that evacuates innocents to well-provisioned aid stations and temporary residences in the Negev.)

And, ultimately, if you're killing more women and children than enemy combatants, I think you're doing it very wrong.

By definition all the C++ Undefined Behaviour is unbounded. You may believe, and even you may have practical evidence for the compilers which happen to exist today, that in some cases the behaviour in fact bounded, but that's not what the language definition says and optimisers have a funny way of making fools of people who mistake Undefined for "Eh, it'll probably do what I meant".

It might seem as though incrementing a signed integer past its maximum can't be as problematic as a use after free even though both are Undefined Behaviour, but nah, in practice in real C++ compilers today they can both result in remote code execution.

There is a place for Unspecified results, for example having it be unspecified whether a particular arithmetic operation rounds up or down may loosen things up enough that much faster machine code is generated and well, the numbers are broadly correct still. But that's not what Undefined behaviour does.

Palestine never attacked Europe. European Jews attacked Palestine and started killing Palestinians to remove them in order to create the state of Israel. They invaded with boatloads of weapons brought in from Europe, starting in 1947 before the state of Israel even existed.

And they were doing the same stuff back then as they are doing now, such as burning children alive, as witnesses recalled during the Deir Yassin massacre, as well as rapes of Palestinians, as their own soldiers recalled. (see the amazing "Tantura" documentary describing war crimes committed by the European Jews during the Nakba)

Israel never won this war they started. They never got Palestine to surrender. This is why their homes are required to have bomb shelters, since all the Israeli colonists are living in an active war zone from a war they started.

There are basically countless examples in human history of disparate self-interested parties overusing a shared resource and failing to regulate themselves until that resource becomes unusable for everyone involved, from the most micro scale office fridge scenario through to global scale like ocean overfishing and carbon emissions. I don’t see how polluting orbital space is much different than polluting our water, soil, and air.

Bottom line: nuclear waste is forever while their promises are a fart in the wind. If they find any rules or regulations or judgements from any courts to be inconvenient they need only shove some cash up Trump's ass and then, POOF! all their problems are solved... except that, yeah, the waste will still be there. Oh, well - somebody else's problem. MAGA!

What you're talking about is internalized normalization of abuse. The kid was probably molested. Very unfortunate, but these things happen without porn. I'd talk to experts about this rather than assume "porn did it". And in any case, if a kid is behaving like that, you can then educate them on how to behave properly; the same would be true if the kid was punching other kids in the face. (and by the way, the "porn make kids bad" argument was the one used against violent video games years ago; turns out kids don't mimic everything they see in a screen)

If you absolutely must have a barrier to entry, let it be a credit card or other form of payment (everyone likes free porn, but sex work is real work and deserves to be paid). It's something not a lot of kids have access to (a bank account) and you don't have to track people's identities anymore. (Kids can steal their parents' cards but that's on the parents.)

Even if hype bandwagon fails in the long term it is still probably an optimal investment strategy which is IMO why we see so much enshittification.

If there is 1 ChatGPT or Amazon- level product a decade, you are not likely to be an early investor in it. A reliable play is to invest in many companies, enshittify them, extract small rents reliably rather than betting the farm on a good product.

I read all the articles. I didn't see any mentioning red tape, or regulations.* All that talk of 'regulations' and 'red tape' is a guess.

This stink of a "Low priority project use as a place-holder, but as soon as even a mouse-sneeze comes up, the resources are put to a better used, and it is kicked down the road"

But (as you say) we are all pre-trained to assume 'red tape / regulations' so we back-fill that explanation, even with no evidence.

Show HN: AI HUD for Job Search
by neis | 2025-08-01 12:34:26+00:00
Hi HN, we’re Jacob, Boris and Xavi and we’re building Hunter (https://hiringagents.ai/hunter), an AI HUD for finding and landing your next job.

While running our AI recruitment agency for the past 2 years, we heard our engineering candidates consistently complain that they spend 100’s of hours finding and applying for jobs, often to never have their resume reviewed at all, let alone being contacted.

Job boards like LinkedIn and Indeed feel like they’re built for a previous age: manually scrolling through thousands of jobs to then fill out the same details again and again never to hear back, or getting overwhelmed by automated recruiter messages for jobs that don’t fit. On the other hand there are many experiments with AI job agents, that create a ChatGPT UI for jobs, which we didn’t like so much.

That’s why we built Hunter: a Job Search HUD that uses an AI voice to help you navigate an LLM-filtered job board.

This creates 3 advantages over the status quo: - Deep Understanding. Express what you’re looking for not through filters and keywords, but with your voice. This way, it’s much easier for the system to truly understand that you wanna work on low level software, consumer products or series-A startups

- Highly Curated Jobs. Our job board only presents roles that meet your preferences. Because Hunter has a deep understanding, the jobs are high quality. We can also ping you when new jobs become available that are a great fit (and only then).

- Hiring Team. When you apply for a job, you’ll be competing with hundreds of others. Inspired by ‘AI SDRs’, we’ve built a feature that finds and helps you send personalized messages to the hiring team behind the job. This greatly increases your chances of getting your application actually seen by the right people.

You can watch a demo: https://youtu.be/HBfhP4AniJE Or try it out for yourself: https://app.hunterscouts.com/job-search

We loved reading this great post here on HN earlier this week on copilots <> HUDs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44705445, and very much try to build a product where we combine the best of UI and AI in a HUD like experience.

Would love to get your thoughts and feedback!

And how many times do you have to correct that? Because I have not seen that in practice. With Opus / Claude Code it will follow instructions until it doesn't and then suddenly, in the SAME prompt/todo agent blabber, it creates a web worker instead of using Bull which it did first for exactly the same case. Sure, context overload, but this is the same prompt. And the models claiming larger context like Gemini don't fare any better (well, worse actually).

Now you might tell me; make the tasks smaller and more focused, yes, that's true, it performs better, but then i'm just faster myself coding. Most what I use CC for is exploration & frontend; generating slabs of mind numbing crap react and tailwind is fantastic. But for most other stuff, we have patterns and libs in place where i'm much faster and better than AI as it's not much code, just more logic/thinking.

> But the focus should be on how does Ferrari consistently keep such a large portion of the high end car market?

Formula 1

There is no other brands that has as much history in Formula 1 than Ferrari. McLaren is the second one in current constructors at 988 race entries but only started fairly recently (compared to Ferrari) to sell street cars, Lotus a distant 3rd one but hasn't been in formula 1 for the last 30years. Mercedes involvment in Formula 1 is fairly recent. In a way, FERRARI IS FORMULA 1 and FORMULA 1 IS FERRARI. Both need each other. Among other F1 teams and appart from Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes, only Alpine Renault is fully involved and is definitely not in the luxury sports car market. In the case of Aston Martin it is really much more sponsoring/rebranding of a team than a real constructor as the Aston Martin team, formerly Racing Point, is running a Mercedes Engine. Appart from McLaren which is less known in the street there is simply no other brand like Ferrari in Formula 1. Here are some numbers according to Wikipedia:

_"Ferrari holds the record for the most Constructors' and Drivers' Championships won with sixteen and fifteen, respectively.[8][9] Ferrari also holds the record for the most wins by a constructor with 248,[10] the most pole positions with 253,[11] the most points with 10572,[12] and the most podiums with 834.[13] Ferrari has also entered more Grands Prix than any other constructor with 1114 entries and also maintains the record for the most Grand Prix starts with 1111.[14]"_

source with complete table of current and past constructors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_constructo...

Alfa Roméo and Maserati used to be in the same if not better place than Ferrari in the early 50's. And their place in the luxury market constantly faded once they scaled down (being engine suppliers) then stopped their involvment in Grand Prix racing.

>Hopefully people will now see the benefit of not centralizing basically all of the power and money on Earth in institutions.

I'm interpreting your comment in the context of scientific institutions being beholden to centralized institutions (i.e. the US federal gov't) via funding. Is that accurate? If so, what's the alternative? The explosion in scientific and technological research in the the 20th century was enabled by the fact that the governments recognized its value and consciously funded it. Prior to that, it was essentially only a small cohort of the aristocracy who saw the value in these pursuits, and was limited by their means and interests.

It is and that's why my point is that there is nuance here.

I had more fun and more satisfaction working in food service in the US than in the EU. There was also more real opportunity right there on the spot to do the thing and get more.

Like yeah, you're having to ask yourself and that's friction. But shouldn't there be a friction when you're being served by someone who is an equal? I've seen folks treat service like garbage in the EU because that exchange obscures the fact that there is an exchange of money. And I've seen service fall back on apathy.

But this is just one way to look at it - ideally it should be exactly as you describe - good service, simple exchange at specified price and confidence that the service is adequately paid for the job.

Only issue is that even in the EU this is often not the truth and restaurants would never ever afford to actually hire full-time employment contracts.

Perl was the first language I learned, because my local books-a-million, in the year 2000, had basically the entire O’Reilly Perl series deeply discounted ($5.99 to $9.99, a steal for a college freshman), and so I learned Perl.

The writing of the O’Reilly Perl books had this micheviousness to them that is also reflected in the language itself. It espoused an apparent simplicity in doing simple things, like reading from a file or taking user input, that languages like C++ had much more ceremony around. Likewise, when I used it to create a compliance test generator for a company I worked for, it took me a few days to write something that would take their source questions and answers and generate an entire website that folks could use to give exams and certifications for regulatory compliance.

To this day, I have not found any other language that makes text processing as easy as it was in Perl, and given how much of our work is processing text and strings, I’m still a little surprised other languages haven’t made it as easy as Perl did.
Show HN: V2.0 of Open SaaS, a free, open-source SaaS boilerplate starter is here
by hot_town | 2025-08-01 12:36:18+00:00
I launched Open SaaS about a year and a half ago and surprisingly it’s become one of the most popular free SaaS boilerplate starters on github (https://github.com/wasp/open-saas).

After 2 years of work total, I’m pleased to launch what I’m calling “Open SaaS v2.0”.

Here’s a breakdown of all the features and updates I’ve made to it over time:

* New Big, Shiny Things for v2.0 *

- Complete redesign with Shadcn UI for a modern and consistent look (themeability coming soon...). - Script that autogenerates an LLM-friendly version of the documentation https://docs.opensaas.sh/llms-full.txt. - Added Zod validation for webhook payloads.

* Main Features *

- 100% open-source repo w/ a focus on open-source tools when possible. - Auth that you own (no 3rd party services): email, google, github, discord... - Full Payments Integration: easily swap out Stripe for Lemon Squeezy or Polar (coming soon!). - Full-stack typesafety on top of React, NodeJS, Prisma. - Admin dashboard w/ revenue and site analytics (Google or Plausible) - OpenAI API & AWS S3 integrations.

* New Features*

- Added Lemon Squeezy as payment provider option (Polar and Paddle in the works!). - Enhanced file uploads with progress bars and validation. - Added a generic cookie consent banner (if you need one). - Integrated Playwright for end-to-end testing. - Added a 404 page.

* Fixes & Improvements*

- Upgraded Wasp (React/NodeJS/Postgres) framework to v0.17.0. - Upgraded AWS and OpenAI SDKs to their newest-ish versions. - Tightened S3 CORS configuration for better security. - Improved payment webhook logic. - Made UI components more consistent (e.g., controlled switches). - Fixed various styling issues, including dark mode inconsistencies. - Improved error handling and validation across the app.

* Refactoring & Code Organization*

- Major "vertical reorganization" of the codebase for improved modularity (auth, payments, users, file-upload). - Significant refactoring of user management pages and queries. - Refactored to use prisma transactions for safer DB mutations. - Cleaned up and simplified various parts of the codebase.

* Docs & Content*

- Updated documentation for deployment, installation, and new features. - Added a customization checklist.

There have been a slew of paid SaaS boilerplate starters popping up since we started, but Open SaaS will stay free and open-source forever.

So if you’re interested in becoming a contributor, or just wanna add a suggestion to the roadmap, feel free to create an issue https://github.com/wasp-lang/open-saas/issues.

It has the benefit of banning bots that hammer you SSH trying to log in. Even if password auth is disabled. I've had friends that setup a small VPS and they've been hammered by bots, which can use a lot of resource on a £5/£10 VPS. Told them to install fail2ban, and the issue was solved in a few minutes.

Good security is about having multiple layers of defense. Fail2Ban protection is one of those layers.

I think this poll is disingenuously quoted here and may not represent public opinion that well.

The questions are very specific rather than general. For example you can disapprove of the military action and the president of a country, but that doesn't mean when asked "pick a winner" you'd pick the other guy.

I mean if the US went to war with North Korea and Pyongyang got flattened, I would certainly disapprove of the US military and the president, but I probably wouldn't consider the other party "winning".

So as always it depends on which question you ask. You can ask questions to get the answer you paid for (speaking as an ex-statistician who worked for a pollster)

Kessler syndrome is incredibly overrated.

It's completely incapable of "permanently blocking access to space". What it's capable of is "shit up specific orbit groups so that you can't loiter in them for years unless you accept a significant collision risk".

Notably, the low end of LEO is exempt, because the atmosphere just eats space debris there. And things like missions to Moon or Mars are largely unaffected - because they have no reason to spend years in affected orbits.

We've recently released a preprint paper about our TinyTroupe open-source project developed at Microsoft. This is still very much under research and development, but the paper is meant to consolidate much of the principles and findings behind it so far. As this remains a preprint manuscript, any suggestion, important related work or constructive comment would be helpful to improve the paper and is very much welcomed. In particular, if you know of good specialized benchmarks to evaluate this kind of thing, please share. Thank you!
Show HN: I made a semantic OS for language reasoning (not kidding)
by TXTOS | 2025-08-01 12:38:32+00:00
i’ve been building something called the WFGY engine, a semantic reasoning core to fix known LLM failures ~ hallucinations, logic collapse, memory jumps, retrieval drift...

as part of that, i started building TXT OS, a symbolic operating system powered by plain text files, reasoning layers, and modular logic.

people ask: is it really an OS? i think so. it has memory, reasoning cores, modular layers, and the whole thing runs without training ~ just through structure.

here’s the semantic blueprint ! the actual plan for what’s built and what’s coming next. some modules already live. others are sketched. all readable.

also: project recently got a star from the creator of tesseract.js so that’s something.

happy to hear thoughts ~ or just let it sit. i’ll keep building anyway.

Space is the one resource that isn't finite. And even in LEO, the amount of space is huge. It's about the same surface area of the earth, but tens of kilometers thick.

We used to have to leave a lot of space between satellites because their orbits varied unpredictably, but we've gotten better at packing them.

Someday we'll talk about the days of 5000 satellites like we talk about when computers had 4096 bytes of RAM, and it will be fine.
