iOS 26 Launches Sept 15 – Even GPT-5 Doesn't Know It Exists
by rileygersh | 2025-08-27 15:46:35+00:00
iOS 26 releases September 15. I asked every major LLM about it today.

Prompt: "Without conducting any research or inference, what is iOS 26?" GPT-5: "iOS 26 does not exist within my training data" Claude 4.1: "I don't have any information about iOS 26" Gemini: "I cannot answer your question about iOS 26"

They don't know it exists, let alone Apple Intelligence updates.

Try asking for actual code: "Write iOS 26 Foundation Models code" "What's SystemLanguageModel in iOS 26?" "How do I implement Liquid Glass design?"

Complete failure across all models. No AI assistant - not even GPT-5 - can write iOS 26 code. With 12 days until release, developers need to ship iOS 26 apps without AI support.

The urgency: - Apple Intelligence requires Foundation Models - Liquid Glass design becomes 'mandatory' - To be perceived as modern, apps need updates by Sept 15

Since July, I've documented iOS 26's frameworks in LLM-ready format.

31 technical files covering Foundation Models, Liquid Glass, Swift Charts, migration patterns - all tested on iOS 26 beta.

The knowledge gap is real.

I didn't restate anything, I corrected you because you take every opportunity to downplay negative effects that these disorders have on people's lives, and you've done it again by simply labeling it "discomfort".

You find it problematic that the other person was diagnosed with ADHD simply because their life wasn't a total disaster but I'd like to remind you that it's an attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder and not a "Can't Hold Down a Job" or "Total Failure At Life" disorder and your desire to have it redefined it in those terms wouldn't help anyone.

> The article is somewhat sensationalistic

somewhat sensationalistic?! The article clearly tries to give the impression the pilot was on the call:

> A US Air Force F-35 pilot spent 50 minutes on an airborne conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers trying to solve a problem with his fighter jet before he ejected

Knowing the quality of media these days, it wouldn't surprise me if it CNN just got it really wrong, but also wouldn't surprise me they'd do some brazen lie for clicks.

Edit: Reading the report, it seems like you, dear fellow HN commentator, got it wrong in this case, sorry to say :) Seems indeed the pilot itself was on the call:

> The mishap pilot (MP), assigned to the 354th FW, ejected safely before impact. [...] The MP initiated a conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers. The MA held for approximately 50 minutes while the team developed a plan of action

Vim’s modal editing, sans plugins, works surprisingly well for drawing too. Visual block mode is also helpful. At least in my experience, I built a puzzle game with pixel art elements[1] and I drew the initial puzzles in vim.

Like you said, flight 11 has the last V2 and since V3 is not compatible with the existing pad A (only the new pad B that is being finished atm), it would be a nice opportunity to try the ship catch because cratering the old pad A and/or its tower wouldn't be that much of a deal. The entire Pad A has to be replaced anyways.

It would have to be a very specific kind of device. The "Wow!" signal isn't broad-spectrum noise. It's one specific frequency, and it just happens to be a frequency near one we expect to be used as a signal.

Somebody could well have been walking across a field with a 1450 MHz generator. I don't know why; maybe it was a prototype of a portable microwave-oven/Walkman mashup. If so, it was leaky, and perhaps that's why it never caught on.

The problem with all this is that you’ve only shown that socializing is fun, not that the amount of ROI you or the company is getting from events is positive.

I’d rather have fun and socialize in ways that have nothing to do with work, and I think younger generations feel even more strongly about that.

The way I see it is that corporate cultures have completely given up on investment in employees. No more tuition reimbursement, no more certification reimbursement, you’re a hired mercenary. They are telling employees straight to their face that they are replaceable temp workers who had better start using AI as much as possible or else they’ll get fired and be replaced with AI anyway.

Why would I want to spend my time going to an industry conference when the industry treats me like shit?

And on this note, how many companies are actually investing in sending employees to conferences? My company even gave up on any sort of team building budget to have my team meet in person, they’re not even willing to pay to have us meet in person once a year. Never mind paying for conference fees and sponsorships.

Conferences that aren’t sales tools have no value to the modern corporation.

From the article:

> I’ve actually talked to folks who decided, “I’ve only got a few years left – I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing, the same way, at the same company, until they let me go or until I decide to quit.” LLMs like ChatGPT made it easier to get by without actually knowing what you’re doing – at least in the short term – and that’s all these kinds of people care about.

This is what has been incentivized by companies. Again, they have told us to our face that we are throwaway employees who are not worth investment. We should just use AI and work faster, please.

Where does socializing fit into that world view? Hell, employees who socialize do pesky things like unionize.

Yes, it’s clear there were zero other factors that led this teen to suicide. Teens have never committed suicide before ChatGPT.

Also video games lead to school shootings, music leads to teens doing drugs, and pagers are responsible for teen pregnancies.

Just look at all the evidence presented in this non-biased, objective article with no financial incentive to incite moral panic…obviously chatgpt is guilty of murder here!

Ruby already has this with Sorbet. Nobody is forcing you to use it, are they?

It seems you have a lot of opinion here without really discussing your problem with type hints though. What is it you dislike?

I use Ruby regularly, have used it for more than a decade, and I wish it had something like a TypeScript equivalent (Sorbet is sorta this but not enough). Every time I work with a Ruby codebase without Sorbet, it’s a lot of guessing and praying that test coverage is good enough. It’s not fun having to find out in prod there’s dumb bugs that would have been caught by static analysis. Something I experience virtually never in TypeScript, the other language I’ve also used for a decade

> At that point they had all been running their meetups for 5-10 years, so they were also established in their careers and didn't NEED them anymore.

This is what turned me off of the local meetups: They had become a means to an end for career advancement. Both for the organizers and presenters.

The meetups I enjoyed the most in the past were full of people who enjoyed the subject matter. In the 2010s it turned into a career building and networking exercise.

Every time a new technology started to become popular it became a war of the meetups: Organizers would try to start a Next.js meetup when it became popular instead of discussing it at the JavaScript meetup. One started a Rust meetup, then jumped to trying to run a Zig meetup when that started rising in popularity.

Going to a meetup was a gamble. It was hard to know if you were going to get a good presentation with discussion, or a half-baked set of slides from someone who heard on LinkedIn that presenting at meetups is good for your resume.

I'm super excited to present a passion project of mine -- an online multiplayer Dr. Mario! I spent a ton of time making this throughout the past year so I could play with my friends who live far away easily. Would be delighted if people gave it a try, it's totally free and would love any feedback that comes out of playing. It's still a work in progress, and I'm excited to continue improving it!

Right now you can play with up to 9 people at once, and if you've made an account your rating will be tracked as you play with other users. There are also leaderboards for the highest rated players, and a time tracker for the fastest players of each level!

You can find the game at https://doctormar.io/

Safari is behind on web standards, but often those standards are things designed and implemented by the Chrome team and pushed into standards later. It's the Chromification of the web, where the standard is "whatever chrome does". It's much like the era of "Designed For IE" or "Works best in Netscape 2.3", but now there's a thrice-convicted monopolist in de facto control of the standard.

Even if they couldn't get to parity with the West (ASML + TSMC + NVIDIA), the article starts with the admission that SIMC is already producing chips that are only one or 2 generations behind the state of the art. They can rely on sheer quantity to offset the quality gap. All it takes is enough energy to keep the datacenters running, and China installs more solar power and more nuclear power every year than the rest of the world combined.

When you think of vtables as unique or owned by an object, then these example seem weird to you. When you think of them as orthogonal to your types/objects, these examples can be useful.

In the first example, object1 and object2 can very much be of the same type or compatible types/subtypes/supertypes. Having vtables per object as opposed to per class to me indicates, that it IS intended to modify the behaviour of an object by changing it's vtable. Using the behaviour of another object of the same type to treat the second object, seams valid to me.

In the second case, it's not about the child implementation dispatching to the superclass, it's about some external code wanting to treat it as an object of the supertype. It's what in other languages needs an upcast. And the supertype might also have dynamic behaviour, otherwise you of course wouldn't use a vtable.

I read the article (twice) and I still have the impression the pilot was in fact the one in the conference call

Opening line:

> A US Air Force F-35 pilot spent 50 minutes on an airborne conference call with Lockheed Martin engineers trying to solve a problem with his fighter jet before he ejected

Am I illiterate or misreading it?

> After going through system checklists in an attempt to remedy the problem, the pilot got on a conference call with engineers from the plane’s manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, *as the plane flew near the air base. *

Is this actually some insane weasel-wording by CNN? "We never said the pilot (he is in fact a pilot) was the one flying the jet, we just said 'as the plane flew', not 'as he flew the plane', using passive voice, so we're not wrong - but it was another pilot flying the plane"
Dochelper.ai – New feature save message the chatbot can't answer
by tiagorosadacost | 2025-08-27 15:50:16+00:00
Hi everyone!

I’m here today to share the new feature from project named dochelper.ai .

What is it?

The dochelper.ai is a tool using ai to make simple final user search info on your website or documentation from your product. But it is not only good for the final user, it is simply for the company to add new info to the AI about new products, features or extra info.

What is the new feature?

The new feature allows the chatbot to collect messages the chatbot can’t answer, because it doesn't have info to answer the question, so the chatbot will save on the database a question without an answer.

You can access the list message without an answer to see and understand what the users are asking and add the info on chatbot base of knowledge, so after that the chatbot will enable you to answer the question.

What are use case?

Documentation from your product Chatbot agent to answer common question about the production on Website Chatbot agent to help the internal team from the company. PS: probability you know or you are a guy who has a specific knowledge about some process or wait to execute something, so you can transfer that knowledge to chatbot that way you don't need to bottle or lose time waiting for the person to answer some.

Technologies? FireCrawl(extract children links from the page and extract content from the page without problem like: recaptcha, ip blocker or something else) OpenAI(embedding model and chat model). Supabase + Postgresql(RAG Retrieval-augmented generation). N8N workflow where they play as agents to answer questions about the product or service.

It was after watching a documentary called "WOW Signal". The receiver they built was along the edge of a field, and it's designed to pick up extremely weak variations in electrical signals/radio waves. They go into great detail about how sensitive it is. The signal itself looks like a parabola when graphed, gaining in intensity and then falling off at the same rate. Exactly what you'd expect from someone walking across the field in front of it. And if I remember correctly, the signal was more about how much it differed from what was expected, not necessarily how intense it was. My thinking is that if it can pick up on the variations in signal from a star system light-years away, it would also indicate on a Timex watch (or flashlight) a dozen meters away.

Seeing tests written by Claude/Gemini really frustrate me sometimes. They'll go to great lengths to make tests pass. Somtimes even just testing console/stdout logging. On the other hand, when I've written failing tests and told the tools to write implementations to make the tests pass, I've had some really good results. Sadly that's the part I enjoy the most so I really don't want to delegate that to a tool.

Most startups underestimate how much damage the wrong domain can do. Everyone talks about product and fundraising, but nobody talks about the address everything runs on. I don’t mean branding theory. I mean the domain name itself.

The usual mistake: launch on a .co, .io, .ai, whatever, because the .com wasn’t available or felt too expensive. The plan is always “we’ll get the .com later.” That shortcut looks harmless in the early days, but the risks pile up fast.

Email leakage is the most dangerous. If your team is on example.co, people will type example.com out of habit. Customers, partners, even employees. Those emails don’t just bounce. They sometimes land in the inbox of whoever owns the .com. Contracts, invoices, product docs, support requests—gone. That’s a security hole sitting in plain sight.

Traffic loss is the quiet killer. Users often type your brand into the browser. They add .com by default. If you don’t own it, the traffic flows elsewhere. Maybe to a parked page, maybe to a competitor, maybe to a scam. You don’t see it in analytics. You just wonder why growth is harder than expected.

Brand perception takes a hit too. Running on anything other than .com signals “small,” “temporary,” or “couldn’t afford the real one.” It’s not fair, but it’s real. Customers notice. Investors notice. Acquirers definitely notice. A brand that doesn’t own its own name looks unfinished.

There’s the legal angle as well. If someone else controls your exact-match .com, you’re exposed. They can hold it for ransom, redirect it to competitors, or impersonate you. Even with a trademark, getting the domain back later is slow, expensive, and uncertain.

Phishing risk grows alongside that. A scammer can set up example.com while your company runs on example.co. To most users, it looks legitimate. They trust it, they hand over credentials, they get burned. Years of brand-building undone because the obvious domain wasn’t yours.

And the price problem: every year you wait, the cost rises. Early on the name might cost $2k. After Series A, $20k. At scale, six figures. Domain owners follow your progress. The leverage shifts entirely to them the longer you delay.

Investors and acquirers do due diligence on domains. Deals get slowed or even derailed when a startup doesn’t control its own .com. It looks careless. Like building on rented land. Nobody wants to inherit that liability.

Put all of this together: running without your exact-match .com isn’t just a small compromise. It’s a stack of silent risks—security, traffic, trust, legal exposure, investor confidence. You don’t see the cost day to day, but it compounds.

That’s why we built BrandHunt.com . We help companies secure their exact-match .com before it becomes a liability. We handle outreach, negotiation, and acquisition quietly, so founders can protect their name without overpaying or broadcasting desperation.

Most founders ignore the domain question because it feels boring compared to product. But the domain isn’t decoration. It’s infrastructure. If you don’t own your name in .com, you don’t really own it at all.

> 1. Conferences require travel budget, which in tech companies (from what I hear) is being repurposed to build out AI capacity. Really, everything is being squeezed like this it seems.

> 2. A lot of folks only go to cons to network - which also means finding better jobs. There might be some connection between cons and turnover.

1 and 2 are related, at least in my experience.

Sending people to conferences was really popular for a while, but companies began realizing that most engineers weren't actually learning much from the conferences. It was a way to travel and network and have your company pay for it.

At one company they had a problem where people would put in requests to attend conferences in good travel locations, but then not actually go to the conference. They'd bring their families along and have a little discounted vacation where the company paid for the hotel room, 1 plane ticket, and some of the expenses without having to take any PTO.

I feel like as if the article itself is not finished at the end:

> How can you know the arity of the functions without adding explicit comments? Sure, if you have a handful of words like bar and foo you know like the back of your hand, this is easy. But imagine reading a large, unfamiliar code base full of code like this and trying to comprehend it.

Cool project by the way! Well done.

The fact is that without Object Pascal, there would not exist employees to work on MPW at all, or even Apple most likely.

Maybe in some alternative universe they would have been just as successful using BCPL, but the fact C and C++ were ignored at Apple until some employees came up with MPW as side project until it was too late to turn back, speaks volumes about Apple culture.

Just as it does the way A/UX was originally designed.

SpaceX has two big things going for it: Starship/Raptor factories churning them out cheap, and themselves as a paying customer in Starlink who can dogfood a risky new launch platform.

Now that they're demoed pez-dispensing v3 dummy Starlinks, I'd assume they'll start launching real ones within ~1-3 months. At that point as long as they can deliver payload to orbit and catch the booster the program is operational and they'll start switching their own Falcon 9 launches over.

The HLS timeline is definitely dicey, but whether Starship winds up being the blocker remains to be seen. Otherwise they've now succeeded enough to "lean launch" Starship with equal/better capabilities to any other existing orbital rocket, and Starlink can fund indefinite further tests/iterations on the rest of their roadmap features (which no one else has).
Show HN: Element to LLM – Extension That Turns Runtime DOM into JSON for LLMs
by Alechko | 2025-08-27 15:52:42+00:00
We built a browser extension (Chrome + Firefox) that captures the runtime DOM and exports it as JSON.

Not the pre-render source (HTML/CSS/JS, templates, bundles) and not a screenshot — but the live, post-render state the browser is actually displaying: - visibility/hidden, disabled/required - current input values and validation/validationMessage - dataset attributes - trimmed text - stable selector paths

Why: LLMs often miss or guess UI state. Screenshots are too opaque, pre-render source is too noisy. A structured snapshot gives reproducible context for debugging forms and flows.

Security: - Runs locally in the browser as a read-only content script. - No telemetry, no external requests. - No page mutation; it only reads the DOM. - Data leaves the browser only if you copy it yourself. - Immune to prompt injection at source level — it never executes or rewrites page code, only serializes visible state.

Use cases: - Debugging client-side forms: capture the real rendered state, not just HTML. - Reproducible bug reports: instead of vague screenshots, share a JSON snapshot of the exact state. - Test automation: snapshot before/after an action to compare behavior. - Prompt engineering: feed structured UI state directly, instead of raw markup or screenshots.

And is absolutely useless. Apollo 9-17 went to the moon with human occupants. All but one put men on the surface of the moon. They all returned to Earth with zero fatally exploding ships.

Not one of these triumphant 75% achievement in launch numbers would have had a surviving human. Apollo had 0 practice runs. Starship is nothing but practice runs. To equate the number of launches to something so drastically different is just an exercise in futility that I can only assume you're trolling

Many seat types have multiple distinct motors for redundancy reasons. Even if there are not, you can adjust the effective output of a solid rocket motor by modifying the nozzle configuration, and Martin-Baker has an expired patent on this.

... but even if the seat in question was able to adjust the ejection thrust (which I don't think it was), this particular situation involved ejection really close to the ground, which calls for maximum thrust.
