Too many unfounded assumptions

> Let's face it, putting the genie back in the bottle isn't an option.

The genie might be where it's always been, just a few new smokes and mirrors added for laughs and giggles.

> Either we reconstitute the aristocracy under a new, still-undefined regime or we solve the class problem so there's no aristocracy left to legitimize.

"We" being like who? And "aristocracy" is who?

You lost me at Phase 3 because scientists, engineers, policy wonks don't fit any definition of aristocracy. Phase 4 didn't offer new candidates for coronation, so what gives? Are you fomenting a revolution against said scientists, engineers and policy wonks? That's curious to put it mildly.

Looks like you submitted opposition to their new registration (Deepki) and then they retaliated by applying for cancellation to your existing mark (Deepkit)?

are they actually pursuing use of "Deepkit" or possibly did you just piss them off? Either way, I wouldn't expect to win anything going up these majors. Also, isn't clear there's any tangible benefit even if you were to win appeal.

It's a war, not a genocide. Gaza is under seige. Hamas should unconditionally surrender but they prefer to put their children in harm's way than to surrender.

Tell me, if this is a genocide, what has happened to all the Jews in Jordan, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan since 1950?

No, defense of Israel is the last stand of a people that has been slowly eradicated from their indigenous region for the last 80+ years.

Hamas simply needs to surrender in this round of the war they started. But they won't unless they control Jerusalem.

Social media as a vessel for diverse discussion is a tall order. It’s too public, too tied to context, and ultimately a no-win game. No matter how carefully you present yourself, you’ll end up being the “bad guy” to someone. The moment a discussion touches even lightly on controversy, healthy dialogue becomes nearly impossible.

Think of it this way: you’re hosting a party, and an uninvited stranger kicks the door open, then starts criticizing how you make your bed. That’s about what it feels like to try to “fix” social media.

> Ars Technica: I'm skeptical of AI in general, particularly in a research context, but there are very specific instances where it can be extremely useful. This strikes me as one of them, largely because your basic model proved to be so robust.

You can't accuse them of hiding their bias and contradictions.

How can a single paper using a unproven (for this type of research) tech disprove such (alleged) skepticism.

People bending over backwards to do propaganda to harvest clicks.

Ever been to Folsom, Chandler, Olathe, Huntsville, Quad Cities, Peoria, Irvine, San Diego, North Chicago, East Liberty, Taylor, etc?

We have seen a decrease in companies that work on physical engineering goods, but plenty still remain.

The difference is, engineering physical goods has been increasingly automated and skilled for decades now (robotic manufacturing, additive manufacturing, CAD tooling, etc has been a thing for decades now), so you will need at least an associates but often a bachelors degrees in a STEM field to climb the ladder in Automtotive, Aerospace, Electronics, Pharma, Chemicals, and Defense manufacturing.

Even the "MBAs" they hire in LDPs are required to have technical undergrad degrees before joining an MBA.

I don't like the fact that stores like Fry's don't exist anymore, but electronics is a much more niche hobby now than it was 30/40/50 years ago and is much less hobbyist friendly - building something with an 8088 might be fun, but not as much anymore when you can purchase a STM32 for a fraction of what they 8088 was 30 years ago. Coding has becoming a very prevalent hobby now, and access to hobbyist boards like Arduinos and Raspberry Pis has become much more democratized.

Right, but I think this case is interesting for the developer community as it targets specifically open-source use-cases, where you usually have neither extensive user per-country data, nor would you usually care about tracking, or have commercial offerings. This essentially means that you either cannot protect your open-source project name or have always to keep in mind to collect user per-country data, otherwise you risk getting deleted.

I do not know why you are being downvoted as this is something I heard too and is quite serious.

> Other countries, in essence, are providing us with a sovereign wealth fund,” he told commentator Larry Kudlow, himself a top economic adviser in the first Trump term. “We have these agreements in place where the Japanese, the Koreans and to some extent the Europeans will invest in companies and industries that we direct them, largely at the president’s discretion.”

Yes, but ultimately trademarks are a consumer protection, and what matters in granting a trademark is protecting consumers from harm.

I don't know much about this OSS project... but if there's a case that they need this trademark to protect consumers from harm, then that's your winning argument.

> If setting your usage price to $0 means no trademark, that's a pretty big attack on non-commercial services.

If you really are not doing commerce, trademarks are irrelevant. You can't get one, and you don't need one.

Astral folks that are around - there seems to be a bit of confusion in the product page that the blog post makes a little more clear.

> The next step in Python packaging

The headline is the confusing bit I think - "oh no, another tool already?"

IMO you should lean into stating this is going to be a paid product (answering how you plan to make money and become sustainable), and highlight that this will help solve private packaging problems.

I'm excited by this announcement by the way. Setting up scalable private python registries is a huge pain. Looking forward to it!

With outsourcing it's basically impossible to compete since the country being outsourced to has lower salaries for a reason - because they have a lower cost of living and people can afford to accept lower salaries. If you are a US citizen facing US cost of living (housing, real estate taxes, college costs, healthcare, etc, etc), then how can you compete with someone who can afford to do the job for way less ?!

At least with the H1-B they are paying US taxes and spending at least something in the US economy, but outsourcing is also taking US corporate profits, mostly coming from US consumers, and sending it overseas to benefit a different country!

Trump has said that US companies should be more patriotic in their hiring, but nothing will happen without changes to the law or tax code.

And is that right? Is that how it should be?

I will partake in the taking because ultimately the world is PvP now and doing otherwise would disadvantage myself against those who would. But I will not support such a system.

At least your example can be somewhat justified - one kind of work takes a lot more skill (both natural and learned) than the other and the difference in reward is within the same order of magnitude.

But then there are jobs which produce no real value on their own. They basically take a cut from everyone else's work. And those are parasitic. Ironically those jobs also tend to determine everyone's wage.

Their real value would be determined by inverting the power structure - the people doing actual work would hire these assistants ("managers" or "executives") to make them more productive if it was needed and would pay them how much their work is actually valued.

> a few large IP owners

This implicitly assumes IP should be allowed to be bough. In a fair system, it would always belong to the people who actually produced it. If a large corporation wanted to make money off of it, it would have to convince these people and offer then terms they would agree with.

Well, logically you should be able to keep the old name because you have documented proof that your user base in EU is small enough that this should NOT cause any confusions between your name and the new trademark holder. Just keep the cancellation documents as proof that you use this name but not in EU. This is their claim and not yours, right? The other possibility is that if you have enough users in EU you should also keep the trademark. Only one of these can be true?

Also note that I already lost some court cases using my logic.

You've demonstrated the problem with good ideas, and the vulnerabilities they have quite well. The parent poster said nothing of the sort, but you've:

* inserted a bunch of words into their mouth

* engaged in a gish-gallop

* insulted the person you are replying to

* accused the person you are replying to of lying

All of which are widely deployed techniques used to prevent good ideas from being heard, let alone from being adopted. It was probably unintentional, but it's pretty amazing how quickly you've made a case for why "good ideas" alone aren't sufficient by demonstrating all the ways savvy opponents can shut them down.

at some point someone is going to discover the history that the hacker subculture was intelligence influenced all the way down. it has never not been within a degree of separation at every angle from the IC.

it's fine, hackers were probably one of the few constructive successes to come out of it ever. Personally, I suspect the hacker project was on the scale of what the US did during the cold war with abstract expressionist art[1] and literary magazines[2].

As a funnel for getting great, principled talent into the IC, we should be happy and grateful there were people to balance what was coming out of the colleges.

Just because the classified world values hacker skills doesn't mean people shouldn't. I'd say the opposite. There is absolutely a secret world that is accessible on a need to know basis, and it hides everywhere in plain sight for those with the skills to see it. All you have to do is be the among the very best at what you do, in whatever field you are in, and you will encounter it. Saying the Army undermines the subculture that was defcon misses the point. The message of hacking was, develop elite skills and others will find you. not only has this not changed, it is more true than ever.

There were early efforts at developing computers with high level language instructions burned into their chips, notably Burroughs with Algol and TI with Lisp.

But that concept only applies if you're burning silicon. A VM emulates the assembler instructions of a real chip. If you're emulating a language, we'd just call that a transpiler or library.

Great episode! The Dell PERC "parity issue" "you're the only customer having this issue" story is hilarious, reminds me of my own experience getting support over the years as a non-Windows user!

Sadly, today, "non-Windows" is simply being replaced with "non-Linux", so, if you run BSD or Illumos, it's still the same issues.

Oxide Computer is great, I really do hope they succeed, because it does seem like an uphill battle!

This doesn't match my experience. What am I doing different?

Example I set SameSite=Strict on www.edoceo.com and then visiting app.edoceo.com the cookie is not there? They are different sites, different origins. And the cookie is set to the domain (ie: host, ie: www.edoceo.com)

> a night out at the bar is expensive now

I mean, I understand the economics of it. Rent, wages, pricing, supply and demand, etc.

But, like, how messed up are things that hooch is too expensive. Like, it literally grows on trees (if you leave it there a bit). Booze is the thing where sales go up when things get worse (lipstick too, right?).

I'm not saying this is a bad thing that we're not drinking as much, but I am saying that not drinking as much is a sign of really bad things.

Guns are an answer to the first problem but not the second, which is why the claim that guns protect the people from tyranny is so wrong.

The best solution i can think of is constantly seeking to reduce the government and limit it's power, size and responsibilities, always trimming the hedge. I.E. conservatism. Any government fundementally should be trusted and relied upon as little as possible, if you want to prevent abuses.

“Those who hold common stock, like employees who bought stock during or after their years at the company, will see their stock canceled under the terms of the agreement, making those investments effectively worthless.”

Get a securities lawyer, sue and then lob a bunch of state and federal complaints against any lawyers or bankers involved. Cancelling stock outside liquidation is bonkers.

You were the one who interpreted "Here's examples of smart peaceful people" as "smart == peaceful". I was never attempting to make such a claim and did say that. The whole thread is about bad assumptions and bad logic.

> is not the most effective strategy of communicating that.

The difficulty of talking on the internet is you can't know your audience and your audience is everybody. Yes, this should make us more aware about how we communicate but it also means we need to be more aware how we interpret. The problem was created because you made bad assumptions about what I was trying to communicate. There are multiple ways to interpret what I said, I'm not denying that, it'd be silly to because this is true for ANY thing you say. But the clues are there to get everything I said and when I apologize and try to clarify do you go back and reread what I wrote with the new understanding or do you just pull from memory what I wrote? Probably isn't good to do the latter because clearly it was misinterpreted the first time, right? Even if that is entirely my fault and not yours. That's why I'm telling you to reread. Because

>>>> So we can't conclude that greater intelligence results in greater malice.

Is not equivalent to

>>> assuming that intelligence will necessarily and inherently lead to (good) morality

We can see that this is incorrect with a silly example. Suppose someone says "All apples are red" and then someone says "but look at this apple, it is green. In fact, most apples are green." Forget the truthiness of this claim and focus on the logic. Did I claim that red apples don't exist? Did I say that only green exists? Did I forget about yellow, pink, or white ones? No! Yet this is the same logic pattern as above. You will not find the sentence "all smart people are good" (all apples are green).

Let's rewrite your comment with apples

> If that was what you meant to say though, you've gotta admit that opening a paragraph with "The other weird assumption I hear is about how all apples are red", and then spending the rest of the paragraph giving examples of different types of green apples, is not the most effective strategy of communicating that.

Do you agree with your conclusion now? We only changed the subject, the logic is in tact. So, how about them apples?

And forgive my tone, but both you and empiricus are double commenting and so I'm repeating myself. You're also saying very similar things, we don't need to fracture a conversation and repeat. We can just talk human to human.

>Tell me, how well did that work for Grin?

Crypto projects succeed/fail for all kinds of reasons that are completely unrelated to de-/centralization. You'll have to be more specific about what Grin's case should teach us.

>So then, _centralize_ around an ASIC?

ASICs are commodities. For BTC (SHA-256) there are at least 8 different companies producing ASICS, and even a smaller project like KAS (kHeavyHash) has >4 competing companies. Not much centralization risk on that side, at least not for mature projects (which a hypothetical ASIC-XMR would be by now).

The main challenge for ASIC-miners is the same as for CPU- and GPU-miners: cheap electricity -- and that's not something that can easily be centralized.

Following this logic, does this mean if I have a project name like ABC, and some company decided to incorporate in this name plus registering the trademark, I have to give up the name when they decide to come after me? Like I have a github.com/ABC, a npmjs.com/org/ABC. All just gone, because trademarks right gives them the right, and I have nothing that protects me?

If that is the case, ok. It's just that I was naive enough to believe I could protect my little open-source project from this using a trademark. The EUPIO somewhat confirmed in their writing that you don't need commercial activities, but you need "genuine use", which is, again, hard to prove if you don't collect user data.
Show HN: AAIP – A standard protocol for AI agent authorization
by kdiallo2 | 2025-08-13 23:22:32+00:00
I was building an AI sales agent and hit same wall again. I was building a custom rule engine to determine how the agent should act.

Started thinking about how you could give AI agents safe and bounded permissions to act independently across multiple services without littering your code base with a bunch of conditionals?

I've repeatedly built these constraint systems before, it's always rate limiters in the email tool, domain filters in the CRM, spend limits in the payment processor. Every time, I (and others) end up solving the same auth/constraint problems independently.

So I built what I'm calling AAIP: The AI Agent Identity Protocol. It's a stateless standard for creating cryptographically signed delegations for AI agents.

With this, you can just create a "delegation". This serves as a signed permission slip, that specifies exactly what an agent can do, for how long, and with what constraints

{ "aaip_version": "1.0", "delegation": { "id": "del_01H8QK9J2M3N4P5Q6R7S8T9V0W", "issuer": { "id": "user@example.com", "type": "oauth", "public_key": "public-key" }, "subject": { "id": "outbound_agent_v1", "type": "custom" }, "scope": ["email:send", "crm:read", "prospects:research"], "constraints": { "max_amount": {"value": 50, "unit": "email"}, "blocked_domains": ["competitor1.com", "competitor2.com"], "time_window": { "start": "2025-07-24T09:00:00Z", "end": "2025-07-24T17:00:00Z" } }, "expires_at": "2025-08-30T23:59:59Z", "not_before": "2025-07-24T00:00:00Z" }, "signature": "ed25519-signature-hex" }

Technical approach: - Ed25519 signatures for cryptographic verification - Self-contained delegations (no external key lookups) - Time-bounded with automatic expiration - Hierarchical scope system with wildcard support - Standard constraints: spending limits, time windows, domain filtering

Full spec and reference implementation -> github dot com slash krisdiallo slash aaip-spec

This feels like where OAuth was in the early web, everyone solving auth differently until a standard emerged. What approaches are you taking? to building AI agent rails? to managing/updating existing constraints?

I think you'd be surprised how large the public support for these initiatives actually is. E.g. few on HN would guess it aligned with what the public wanted, yet it's hard to find a poll saying that's the case. And I don't just mean "of sleazily worded polls", even when the poll explicitly calls out the privacy concerns or other side effects more want to try the law than not.

In the Khan academy videos I remember watching, an instructor would actually write on a tablet; you'd see each letter get hand-written one by one in order. Is there no way to get it to do that? What the AI is doing instead is building-up the strokes of every character on the line of text all at once, which looks completely unnatural. The awkwardness is compounded by the fact that the letters are outlined, so it takes even more steps to create them.

In addition, the line-art style of the illustrations looks like that same cartoonish-AI-slop style I see everywhere now. I just can't take it seriously.

If this tool is widely deployed it's just going to get used to spread more misinformation. I'm sure it will be great for bad actors and spammers to have yet another tool in their toolbox to spread whatever weird content or messages they want. But for the rest of us, that means search engines and YouTube and other places will be filled with a million AI-generated half-baked inferior copies of Khan Academy. It's already hard enough to find good educational resources online if you don't know where to look, and this will only make the problem worse.

You'll just have to forgive me if I'm not really excited about this tool.

...also the name is a bit weird. It reminds me of "Gulpo, the fish who eats concepts" from that classic SMBC cartoon. (https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2010-12-15)

I can't speak for others, but I've found my severe headaches are sometimes migrains, other times sinus headaches, retina pain, and/or iris pain. Most of the time, a couple over the counter "migraine" pills helps if I catch it early, most commonly starts in the morning as I wake up. If that doesn't work, in a couple hours a prescribed migraine pill... if I notice my irises are pin hole sized (as closed as can be), I have dilation drops that help. If that doesn't cut it, I'll take a cannabis gummy and just try to sleep until it goes away.

A couple times a year, it lasts for a day or more. That's when it really sucks. I keep on top of taking mucus relief and allergy pills, which keeps down the sinus headaches... but I'm never quite sure what it is, as it's all just sever pain inside my head. Often coming with nausea, severe pain, dizziness and sometimes panic attacks.

I also have chronic back and hip pain as well. I don't like opiates at all, they tend to come with excessive nausea.
