Man I am not kidding but atleast this company has some returns but yes to me also its definitely risky, but it still has some decent intrinsic value as compared to companies whose sole objective is to trade within (MNC's should be illegal)

Also, maybe I just want to talk about it, but whenever I hear about ponzi pyramid, I think about cryptocoins like bitcoin and then remember about the people paying 2$ to buy 1$ worth of btc in american institutional markets.

My rant about crypto is unwarranted but I want to still share it. Stablecoins are really really cool but any native coins/tokens are literally ponzi pyramids / scams.

> We need to show dozens of things at once and this won't fit on a phone. Switch to desktop.

Scrollbars can help!

I really like the idea, although the designs are a bit limited and I don't know that I'd use this tool if I did want to make this kind of business card. But looking at the UI, this is all stuff that would be pretty easy to make responsive, and would work fairly well on mobile. It's a bit of a shame to add an arbitrary limitation like this.

I genuinely do not understand this claim and propaganda about Apple privacy.

1) it's known they scan all your content and pics on iCloud

2) the phone's always listening, always

3) once that I forgot my password to the MacBook, all one needed to do to access my data was to enter recovery mode and reset the password. Sure it logged me off from browser sessions, but all my files where there available to anybody

To me apple is overly invasive with their icloud accounts and things, and password resets taking weeks, yet I see no evidence it is any harder to get my data than on other devices, if anything, it's easier.

So what is the claim here? Some tracking less by advertisers? That's privacy? An ad less about computers and one slightly less correct about idk wine?

The fact is that anybody with physical access to my devices has an easier time logging through the apple ones than the windows/androids i own and that I care more than advertising

The older I get the more I value screen real state. And that foldable phone is really calling me.

Aside from that the fact that I can sideload apps. Run a VM. Work. All this with 16Gb of Ram.

And the list goes on and on.

Honestly having an iPhone these days feels more a punishment than something else.

They are incomparable. Token embeddings generated with something like word2vec worked well because the networks are shallow and therefore the learned semantic data can be contained solely and independently within the embeddings themselves. Token embeddings as a part of an LLM (e.g. gpt-oss-20b) are conditioned on said LLM and do not have fully independent learned data, although as shown here there still can be some relationships preserved.

Embeddings derived from autoregressive language models apply full attention mechanisms to get something different entirely.

although I tried the collaborative features I unfortunately cannot say that I used these extensively for now. Although I found them quite nice, well integrated, seamless, and straightforward!

The issue is again people, they don't wanna change their _archaic_ workflow, stuck with inefficient -copy/paste- loop to the chat (ie. Slack) and back.

The story in the article went a bit too far that I agree, but I guess that is their north-star vision. Current implementation allows you to "join" a workspace session shared by someone, edit the same or different file, follow/watch a certain person, as well as have a chat (without requiring copy-paste) about certain piece of code. (both written or via voice)

If something, large enterprises generally don't support smaller and ambiguous licenses. Therefore, if Zed will allow enterprise licensing (ie. via on-prem license server or volume ordering, SSO, whatever) that would increase their adoption quite well...

Tried searching for "red high top sneakers under $40", and the first result was a shaft seal? The next result was a red high top sneaker so good, but it had a price of '0', bad. Then it started showing basically random items skin care, dog food, white sneakers, dog bandanas etc. The price limit started to get ignored.

It's interesting that this feels awkward to you, because when apps don't function this way it feels broken and odd to me. When I tap a PDF attachment in an email I expect the back button to go back to the email I was just viewing, not the list of PDFs on my phone. If I wanted to view all the PDFs on my device, I would start at the PDF viewer and tap into PDFs from there.

I wonder what experience made this feel more awkward for you (and conversely, why it feels more natural for me). What a weird/complex world we live in!

I feel like there’s an interesting follow-up problem which is: what’s the shortest possible proof of FLT in ZFC (or perhaps even a weaker theory like PA or EFA since it’s a Π^0_1 sentence)?

Would love to know whether (in principle obviously) the shortest proof of FLT actually could fit in a notebook margin. Since we have an upper bound, only a finite number of proof candidates to check to find the lower bound :)

People were definitely saying bubble earlier this year, but I think the market could excuse the selloff by attributing it to DeepSeek and "Liberation Day"; the AI hype machine was still in overdrive. For some reason the market has decided not to care about tariffs anymore, but GPT-5 being mid has really put the kabosh on the whole AGI schtick.

Simianwords said: "use GPT 5 with thinking and search disabled and get it to give you inaccurate facts for non niche, non deep topics" and noted that mistakes were possible, but rare.

JustExAWS replied with an example of getting Python code wrong and suggested it was a counter example. Simianwords correctly noted that their comment originally said thinking mode for factual answers on non-niche topics and posted a link that got the python answer right with thinking enabled.

That's when you entered, suggesting that Simian was "missing" the point that GPT (not distinguishing thinking or regular mode), was "not always right". But they had already acknowledged multiple times that it was not always right. They said the accuracy was "high enough", noted that LLMs get coding wrong, and reiterating that their challenge was specifically about thinking mode.

You, again without acknowledging the criteria they had noted previously, insisted this was cherry picking, missing the point that they were actually being consistent from the beginning, inviting anyone to give an example showing otherwise. At no point between then and here have you demonstrated an awareness of this criteria despite your protestations to the contrary.

Instead of paying attention to any of the details you're insulting me and retreating into irritated resentment.

Sure, browsers can navigate without your input, but what good would that do to bypass permissions? You can't use that to automatically grant your website permissions. And permissions are isolated to specific domains as if they were separate apps, so you can't just use permissions granted on domain A from domain B.

Not everything needs to be a PWA. Yes, they're great alternatives to apps, but why should anyone be forced to install a PWA when they might only need to use the web app very infrequently? Or what if I just wanted to try some functionality out first? Installing is an unnecessary speed bump for these cases.

Exponential Progress. Linear Vibes. Negative ROI.

This is where we are. Is it a bubble? Depends on your ROI expectations

If you're Zuck and you're getting better CTR that you can use to bid up advertising auctions then you're good for $75B

The rest? Need solid business cases.

Jensen, Satya, Sundar seem fine. Sam will be fine if consumer grows and they get ads etc. Dario has a good enterprise and coding business.

Jensen will keep selling to everyone.

If this is because legacy org expectations need to adjust and their CEOs won't achieve "AI-native" status in 2 years then it makes sense...
Show HN: I built a tool to convert WhatsApp chats to PDF
by gprogrammer1 | 2025-08-20 20:55:20+00:00
Hey HN! I built ChatToPDF to solve a problem I kept running into: needing to archive WhatsApp conversations for documentation, legal records, or just memories, but finding WhatsApp's export format terrible for sharing or long-term storage. What it does:

Converts WhatsApp's .txt export files into clean, readable PDFs Preserves the original chat formatting and timestamps

Why I built this: I needed to document some customer support conversations for my business, and WhatsApp's plain text export is basically unreadable for long chats. I wanted something that just works, respects privacy, and produces professional-looking output.

> the whole /point/ of chaos is that it's an emergent property of deterministic mathematical functions.

I believe you. But the colloquial definition (I’m looking at a dictionary right now) is “complete disorder and confusion”; “a state of things in which chance is supreme”; “the inherent unpredictability in the behavior of a complex natural system”. That path fits that apparent definition. The post is written in a way that a relative layman would understand, so it makes sense to speak/write in a way non-mathematicians would expect.

Rushing leads to errors. I don't rush. I also don't anti-rush. Dawdle?

But to answer your question, after a year I use those 30 extra minutes to play Sonic the Hedgehog six or seven times, nibbling on an ice cream sandwich between acts and zones, a sandwich that eventually melts and makes a great mess of things including all over my Genesis controller, which I clean in the kitchen while looking out the window over the sink.

Boycotting a text editor because the company that makes it accepted funding from another company that has a partner who holds controversial views on a conflict in Gaza where children are killed is going a bit far I think.

In a perfect world, children don't get killed, but with that many levels of indirection, I don't think there is anything in this world that is not linked to some kind of genocide or other terrible things.

My understanding is that AI scrapers rotate IPs to bypass rate-limiting. Anubis requires clients to solve a proof-of-work challenge upon their first visit to the site to obtain a token that is tied to their IP and is valid for some number of requests -- thus forcing impolite scrapers to solve a new PoW challenge each time they rotate IPs, while being unobtrusive for regular users and scrapers that don't try to bypass rate limits.

It's like a secondary rate-limit on the ability of scrapers to rotate IPs, thus allowing your primary IP-based rate-limiting to remain effective.

France’s nuclear fleet performs load following but it is harder on the steam mechanicals requiring more frequent maintenance. The question is if this operating model is more cost efficient versus lithium and sodium battery storage at scale for buffering generation and load, with battery storage around $52/kWh for fully integrated systems currently (LFP chemistry). They're constantly burning ~1GW of fossil gas that could potentially be replaced with grid forming battery storage, assuming nuclear output is increased.

Besides domestic battery storage, an additional challenge is that they’re transmission constrained and there is too much nuclear and renewables and insufficient battery storage for domestic demand. Additional inteconnector capacity is coming online to Ireland in 2026 though (Celtic Interconnector, 700MW HVDC submarine cable).

On the bottom right, there is a button looks like magic emoji (). Click that and it will show general AI settings. You can choose _Eager-Completion_ rather than trigger-based one.

As a user, most IDEs/Editors currently show in _eager_ way. For example, VSCode by default shows ghost-text as well as Amazon Q extension too. Usually disabling those disables the AI completion completely.

Meanwhile I like Zed's approach that you can trigger completions with Alt+Space, not burning through your "tokens" in free-tiers. They also provide a free-tier completions, as well as _next-edit suggestions_.

*) Next-edit suggestions: When you edit some piece of code repeatedly, it suggest to do similar on the next few instances, with context awareness, quite nice feature saving several keystrokes every single time.

> as AI scrapers bother implementing the PoW

That's what it's for, isn't it? Make crawling slower and more expensive. Shitty crawlers not being able to run the PoW efficiently or at all is just a plus. Although:

> which is trivial for them, as the post explains

Sadly the site's being hugged to death right now so I can't really tell if I'm missing part of your argument here.

> figure out that they can simply remove "Mozilla" from their user-agent

And flag themselves in the logs to get separately blocked or rate limited. Servers win if malicious bots identify themselves again, and forcing them to change the user agent does that.

Its nice that sourcehut themselves have talked about it on their own blog but I had discovered this through the anubis website themselves showcases or soemthing like that iirc.

This looks to me like something resembling a 65 mustang.

If you look at some 65 mustangs they only had a driver side wing mirror as that was the law back then. The wider rear tire also makes a lot of sense, as it's a RWD car that needs wider rear tires to support the traction.

If the car in the photo is a 65 mustang, I think the AI did pretty good.

I bought a Xiaomi 14T and bought my gf a pixel 9.

I like my phone more, but battery life on hers is way better to the point I regret buying mine, it barely lasted a day out when on vacations, and I'm not a super heavy phone user, but look for restaurants, open maps, take pictures, ask Gemini stuff and I'd be at 50% by the time she was at 75.

The argument is that you could potentially make easy use of these digital assets via an assistant that has secure, private access to them. As someone who forgets to use his calendar for social events, I'd love to be able to ask "what events are going on this weekend" and have it show me everything I've agreed to do via email/text message/3p messenger app.

I do like Zed very much. Fast, good UI, decent set of features.

Still missing some key features to get parity for python with PyCharm, and git features need more love, but pace of development has been blistering. Kudos to the team for building something really solid.

I don't use the agentic stuff though -- I have a ClaudeMax subscription and use CC or more recently opencode (the only non-CC that works with a ClaudeMax sub); I don't want to pay another sub for Zed and the free model use that comes with Zed runs out very quickly (understandably so, no complaints there). If I could connect my ClaudeMax sub to it then I'd maybe use it, though CC and opencode are pretty good.

The code completion is decent and I especially like the "subtle" mode saves a lot of backspacing (no, dammit, that's not what I wanted!).

I understand Zed needs to make money, but VC backed, especially Sequoia, doesn't inspire any love, tbh. I don't care what platitudes VCs say about independence their love for the product etc., they need their 10x return and if it means enshittification, so be it, they don't really care.
by dkersten | 2025-08-20 20:58:55+00:00
What I really want from Zed is multi window support. Currently, I can’t pop out the agent panel or any other panels to use them on another monitor.

Local-first is nice, but I do use the AI tools, so I’m unlikely to use this fork in the near term. I do like the idea behind this, especially no telemetry and no contributor agreements. I wish them the best of luck.

I did happily use Zed for about year before using any of its AI features, so who knows, maybe I’ll get fed up with AI and switch to this eventually.

> I find Windows to be the outlier against a sea of embedded Linux devices.

I think you're thinking of consumer devices, not industrial.

> Inertia.

I think that's a tough case to make. Windows offers legitimate technical advantages for gaming and game development. Integration with large vendors' tooling like NVIDIA and AMD is pretty huge. There are real workflow benefits.

> Windows-based software itself is developed on Windows.

You know more about this than I do. That sounds kind of wild to me, like it could be a pretty awful work flow at times for no good reason. It looks like you don't have access to native debugging tools and Wine itself introduces potential compatibility risks. I would rather just develop on target, personally

Apple's privacy policy is like everything else Apple: it best compares to things outside of it's walled garden. But inside the walls Apple operates just like every other company. It gathers information on all it's users for it's own advertising business. They can claim they don't have third parties involved and that makes them more private, but they do all the same things to their users but just do it themselves. They're as much an advertising company as Google or Facebook (and would love to be as big as those advertisers), but their ads are all within the Apple walls, so they can claim they are much more private. When they really aren't.

Even if the images aren’t the kind of sexualized (or downright pornographic) content this implies… having cutesy anime girls pop up when a user loads your site is, at best, wildly unprofessional. (Dare I say “cringe”?) For something as serious and legit as kernel.org to have this, I do think it’s frankly shocking and unacceptable.

Apple is the only one that offers actual E2EE with advanced data protection for all iCloud services. Without it, yes, Apple can see your data. With it on, they can't. The key is stored on device, encrypted with your device pin/passcode and covers iCloud backup, including messages, drive, photos, notes, reminders, bookmarks, shortcuts, voice memos, wallet, passwords, health data, journal, home, maps, etc. The only thing not covered under ADP is iCloud mail, contacts, and calendars because it uses CalDAV and CardDAV.

> once that I forgot my password to the MacBook, all one needed to do to access my data was to enter recovery mode and reset the password. Sure it logged me off from browser sessions, but all my files where there available to anybody

Sounds like you didn't have FileVault (FDE) turned on. If you did, that wouldn't work you'd have needed your recovery key.

> it's known they scan all your content and pics on iCloud

They can't if you have ADP.

> Some tracking less by advertisers? That's privacy?

Yes, it is privacy. Let's not understate the massive surveillance that ad networks do, Google included.

Google is an advertising company, they have zero incentive to offer the same level of privacy that Apple does and probably never will, it would be directly detrimental to their core business.

When I was younger, we all had to memorize phone numbers. I still remember those numbers (even the defunct ones) but I haven't learned a single new number since getting a cellphone.

When I was younger, I had to memorize how to drive to work/the grocery store/new jersey. I still remember those routes but I haven't learned a single new route since getting a smartphone.

Are we ready to stop learning as programmers? I certainly am not and it sounds like you aren't either. I'll let myself plateau when I retire or move into management. Until then, every night debugging and experimenting has been building upon every previous night debugging and experimenting, ceaselessly progressing towards mastery.

They said Magic Cue is done entirely on device and as far as I can tell does not involve saving screenshots of your activities to the device like Windows Recall* did- rather it can look at things like your email and other data that is on the device to determine what to suggest

* Windows Copilot is different from Recall, which is the one that saved screenshots of what you were doing periodically

All I really want to know is CPU/other efficiency and battery life.. If I use G1-G5 with exactly the same app that G1 CPU was adequate for the theoretical efficiency for the CPU is maybe improving 20% a generation but that manifests as some worthwhile (battery time) result or is drowned out by stupid features like even higher screen refresh?

OpenAI/Anthropic/Perplexity aren't the bad actors here. If they are, they are relatively simply to block - why would you implement an Anubis PoW MITM Proxy, when you could just simply block on UA?

I get the sense many of the bad actors are simply poor copycats that are poorly building LLMs and are scraping the entire web without a care in the world

> I’m 22 and I’ve built two companies that together are valued at more than $20 million.

I'm not particularly interested in getting long-term life advice from a childless 22 year old. Especially when some of his advice is egregiously unhealthy, both physically and mentally:

> During my first year working on Step Up Social, I averaged 3½ hours of sleep a night and had about 12½ hours every day to focus on business. The physical and mental toll was brutal: I gained 80 pounds, lived on Red Bull and struggled with anxiety.

> Will this relationship survive if I skip this event? And if not, is this someone I really need in my life? The isolation was painful, and some friendships didn’t survive.

> Every commitment had to justify its place on my calendar, with social events, casual hangouts and even family gatherings weighed against business priorities. I constantly felt guilty about missing important moments with loved ones
