This is a valid observation and hurdle of sorts. One to me, which is a fascinating problem to work on. There are a few approaches to solve this. For instance NIP65, where one defines on their profile meta which relays they read/write to, giving clients the ability to discover all the right content. That's just one approach, and some are exploring other ideas. It seems like a very solvable problem anyway.

> It sounds like you're under the impression that threads can only be started by "replying to a message". That's true in the sense that threads are created when you hit the reply icon to a top-level message, and type a response in the section for the thread starting with that message.

No, I'm just focusing on reply-chains and their interactions with threads because the former often leads to the latter, and I misunderstood the original comment.

This clarifies things though and is indeed exactly how Discord does it. I just wish there was a better way of handling threads - it seems to me that it's too easy for a conversation to be shoved into a thread and then be forgotten if you're not actively looking for it. That's fine in some cases, like work discussions, but not for say a social community.

Thanks for the responses!

There are some messed up things on a few NIP because the technology evolved fast.

Most NIP are fine and continuously improved.

This is trivial to solve when there is there a periodic release of the NIP as done in other specs. So far there hasn't been much need for that formality, most developers understand quickly how to create tools on top of it.

I'm autistic which is also a disorder. Like ADHD it's a neurodevelopmental disorder because from a scientific and medical POV the brain developed abnormally compared to a neurotypical person's brain.

I guess your point is why does it require a label at all but science abhors a taxonomic vacuum, everything must be classified and if so I'd rather it be a disorder than a disease or illness.

Of course this opinion is just mine, I have no idea how other autistic or adhd people see this as I don't keep up with the neurodiverse community and what words are considered good or bad.

The source that pushed the fake picture is this [1] account with some 5 million followers that regularly posts disinformation and agitprop. That is also the same account that claimed he was a 'groyper'. Go check its stream and you can find endless more absurd claims.

People then simply unquestioningly repeated the claims, cited the same disinformation, and away we go - social media style. For instance here [2] it showed up in an Anandtech discussion, and I already linked to the claims making their way onto hacker news in dozens of posts as well. To say nothing of the cess pools that are Reddit, X, Facebook, etc.

The US isn't designed to ensure a two party system. FPTP can allow many parties. The UK is an example of that.

America has two parties because both parties are very internally open. Democrats have given up on that in the last few primaries but that's still very new, and Republicans are still open. You can enter as an outsider and take over the parties. That's how the Republicans ended up with Trump.

If the two parties were less internally democratic you'd see the same situation in the UK where there are two dominant parties and a bunch of smaller parties that occasionally end up in coalition but mostly act to push the main parties around by threatening to take too many votes.

Barcelona is interesting for its modernity and city design.

It's maybe the most heavily planned and designed European capital.

Maybe it's hard to see that coming from the US where all the cities have been planned in the last centuries and you are used to see blocks everywhere, but in Europe it's the exception, and the way it have been done in Barcelona is, I think, unique in the world.

If you don't know the concept of superblocks, there you go : https://www.citiesforum.org/news/superblock-superilla-barcel... but to summarize, Barcelona have been divided in superblocks containing blocks. Inside those superblocks, there are less cars and inside the blocks, there are barely any car at all. What that means is that each superblock is like a little city and each block is like a peaceful village. Hundreds of peaceful places inside of a busy european capital.

How is $6000 per year (upfront) affordable? And that's the pricing for startups with <10 employees, surely large organisations / schools (which seem to be the audience of BigBlueButton) will pay much more. What about non-profits etc?

At this point tldraw v4 seems to offers no significant improvements over v3, which does everything I want from a whiteboard. I think most people who can live with the previous watermark will just stick with v3 permanently.

> "An open protocol with a chance of working"

One of the most depressing things about the decentralised protocol space is the adversarial attitude to other projects - whether that's Nostr v. ActivityPub v. ATproto v Nostr, XMPP v. Matrix v. IRCv3 v. Deltachat, etc.

Imagine if the energy spent on positioning yourself relative to other open-source projects (who should be fellow travellers, if anything) was instead invested into competing with the centralised proprietary incumbents instead.

The same applies to open source as a whole, but it's depressing to see the same vibes leach into the literal tagline of the project.

The fundamental difference is that with Mastodon, or any Fediverse service, the server still has full control over the user. It's basically no different from regular Facebook or Twitter, just with some optional federation on top that can be switched off at any time (and often is).

On Nostr the server is just a dumb relay, it controls and owns nothing. User identities are proper public key pairs. If a relay goes evil, you can just use another one or use multiple at once to begin with, since the location of the messages is irrelevant, everything is held together by public keys.

There's also Stacker News which is centralized like Reddit or HN but uses BTC micropayments over Lightning in lieu of upvotes. It's a lot slower than HN but so far the SNR is a lot higher. It's also a bit dominated by Bitcoin content (much like some Nostr stuff.) Whether that's just a function of size or not is yet to be seen.

Again, I don't think that picture is relevant to the claim, and you ignored everything else from my comment.

> Halloween photos showing Robinson riding on the back of an inflatable Donald Trump or dressed as a gopnik offshoot of Pepe the frog, the now-anachronistic alt-right meme that evolved into the groyper mascot.

> Groypers had hassled Kirk at public appearances over the years for what they saw as his insufficiently radical conservatism. (Fuentes has forcefully denied any connection to the shooting and told his followers he would “disavow” and “disown” any who “take up arms.”)

> But as the internet quickly pointed out, “Bella Ciao” is both an anti-fascist anthem from post-WWII Italy and a remixed track on a groyper Spotify playlist.

This would be misinformation if it would turn out to be false, but it would not be misinformation based on whether or not the shooter is leaning this way or that way or no way.
Ask HN: What's solution to periodic Deep Research using LLM?
by j1000 | 2025-09-19 08:11:38+00:00
Hi, what's current solution for Deep Research that will run in defined interval. I wanted to use OpenAI Deep Research model but API is extremely confusing. So maybe there is something else more generic and lean? Like I don't want to be vendor dependant (so any config on 3rd party ui is out of the scope). I'm also happy to code long standing solution but I need place where to start. Cheers
by kitd | 2025-09-19 08:11:49+00:00
I believe what OP refers to as design is largely styling. Design goes much deeper and starts from a position of close empathy with the user. As a dev working on a team that now has professional designers, the difference is night & day. UI design is the most underrated part of our industry IMO. Good design produces happy users far more often than the choice of framework or platform.

To maybe make trust easier, let's say there's two kinds trust:

* Sometimes you implicitly trust that someone will do the right thing. Easy: you just know.

* Other times, you decide you're going to invest in trusting someone to do the right thing.

In the second kind, people can pick up on that investment, and respect it or be inspired, in which case it is self-fulfilling.

Though some people won't pick up on it, or won't care, or will think your investment is naive and to be taken advantage of.

So you have to think about how you convey it, and decide who you're going to invest in.

Investing in everyone on your team is a good default to start with.

this is common practice in general no? People ask for references, or try to contact former bosses, when hiring critical profiles. Obviously nobody will say anything bad, so HR is trained, and giving trainings to the hiring managers, how to "grade" the level of positivity.

There's a difference in saying "Yes I confirm person X worked here, he did a good job on all the tasks that we have asked him to do" vs "Yes, he was amazing at his job, he was proactive and really drove innovation, we are sad to see him leave"

Got to love calvinist societies like northern europe. "oh you are poorer than me due to centuries of colonization? That's your own moral failing!".

And while nowadays they are mostly non religious and don't directly express the idea in these terms, the disparity of treatment is still incredibly strong.

And basically it's all down to having better weapons at a certain point in history.

I wonder what it says about me or my life that my first thought was that it sounded absolutely wonderful. I had a good stretch of time between jobs (fortunately voluntarily) a while back and ever since I have had a completely different outlook on life that is, sadly, not quite compatible with modern life.

During my time unemployed my pace of life was more like it is when you are on a camping/hiking trip with a group of scouts: a lot of the time spent on routine things like fetching water, lighting fires and prepping food. I would spend hours each day on prepping the dinner from scratch (beginning with walking to fetch the relevant supplies). Now when I am back to work, I have to choose if I want to spend time with my family or going with the gym, because there is not time to do both.

I do not want to be homeless or get rid of my family, but it sure would be amazing to "be able to" (of course I have a choice: I can just resign) just spend time spending time.

> I understand that cost benefit of having just one implementation for mobile and desktop. But it is still annoying.

Of course it's annoying. When desktop software is using mobile UI, that's the result of a deliberate choice to make the software worse (something you care very much about as it affects you) in order to save the company money (something you don't care about). It would be weird if you weren't annoyed by such blatant disrespect for their customers.

Good. I always found that weird. To me, the carpool lane is there to encourage drivers to put more people in their cars in order to reduce traffic. Allowing a single-rider EV to use the carpool lane doesn't do that.

It just felt like a ham-fisted way to incentivize EV purchases, when there are better ways to do that.

The "trig in real life" is a common question, but its deeply flawed. You can use trig in real life - I used it last time I bought a monitor because I wanted to compare the areas of models with different aspect ratios and I only had the diagonal size and aspect rations.

There are much deeper flaws in this question:

1. That you only learn what you are guaranteed to use in everyday life. Education should leave you with choices. You learn trigonometry so you can later choose to do things that require it.

2. That everything you learn in school has to be something that is likely to be useful. When did you last use history or literature or art?
Show HN: FLM- Audio, our 7B spoken dialog chatbot with native full-duplexity
by BAAIBeijing | 2025-09-19 08:14:44+00:00
We’re excited to share RoboBrain-Audio（FLM-Audio）, a new 7B spoken dialog chatbot with native full-duplexity. FLM-Audio achieves superior response qualities and chatting experiences while requiring significantly less training data.

Key innovations: Natural Monologue Abandons word-level timestamps and innovatively proposes the “Natural Monologue ” mechanism Preserves the inherent advantages of LLMs in generating coherence and instruction-following. effectively addresses the context-dependent pronunciation issues of certain words (especially numbers).

Dual Training Paradigm Training spans two major stages, four sub-stages, simulating ASR, TTS, and interactive dialog tasks. Post-Training stage equips the model with the basic abilities of “listening” and “speaking”. Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) stage then shapes its dialogue and full-duplex interaction capabilities.

Resource Links： https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.02521 https://huggingface.co/CofeAI/FLM-Audio GitHub - cofe-ai/flm-audio: FLM-Audio is a audio-language subversion of RoboEgo/FLM-Ego -- an omnimo

The model is now open-sourced, and we look forward to your use and feedback.

Underrated comment; way too many designers still approach software design as a visual exercise similar to designing a static composition that looks beautiful in marketing materials; but software is all about data structures and what operations people are going to want to do on them.

So much software these days doesn’t let me do things like “do Z on all Xs matching Y”, instead forcing me to repeat the same slow sequence of actions over and over (swipe, tap button; wait for animation to finish. Go back, swipe, tap button; wait for animation to finish. Go back, swipe, …)

What relays were you on? I have never seen CP on nostr. Did you start off following the crypto spammer mentioned or that was just what caused you to find nostr? I'd be curious how you built your initial follow list, as that and the relays you were on is the source of what you see. Kind of like if you go to weird ass websites you'll see that content, but nostr itself doesn't expose anything to a user, it's only a network for content read/write.

Your link is from 2022 - blinded paths are now here in lightning. Async- and trampoline payments are around the corner. The article is heavily outdated.

I am involved in Lightning and run my own node - it is pretty much private enough for all sorts of micro payments for content creators. Not private enough for organized crime to move large sums, agreed.

You also forget to mention the 51% attack monero recently suffered. Lightning is bitcoin based and way more resilient to that.

The protocols you mentioned are always consistent. You will know if they are not consistent because they will not make progress. Yes there's a short delay where some nodes haven't learned about the new thing yet and only know that they're about to learn the new thing, but that's not what's meant by "eventual consistency", which is when inconsistent things may happen and become consistent at some time later. In Paxos or Raft, nodes that know the new consistent data is about to arrive can wait for it and present the illusion of a completely consistent system (as long as the network isn't partitioned so the data eventually arrives). These protocols are slow. so they're usually only used for the most important coordination, like knowing which servers are online.

CAP cannot be worked around. In the event of a partition, your system is either C or A, no buts. Either the losing side of the partition refuses to process writes and usually reads as well (ensuring consistency and ensuring unavailability) or it does not refuse (ensuring availability and ensuring data corruption). There are no third options.

Well, some people say the third option is to just make sure the network is 100% reliable and a partition never occurs. That's laughable.

Come on, so much effort writing and yet so vague.

The easiest way to try NOSTR is using any of the common web platforms like https://primal.net or https://yakihonne.com/

Heck, you can even install NOSTR clients directly from the App and Play store since years.

It is very unbelievable that you followed such a complicated process, even went to effort of deploying to a server (what?!?) and then somehow you see disturbing content without looking explicitly for it.

In case you are sincere, try it again using any of the common methods.

That was a good read and it resonated with me from personal experience. Often the groups I was in were fragmented or I'd be suddenly invited into a second group with someone else removed. Glad it wasn't me, would have been too hard on me to realize I'm suddenly alone in a ghost group.

I wonder what the cut-offs are for "group is too small" and "group is too large", but that certainly depends on the subject the group is about. A philosophy book reading group probably doesn't work well with the bestselling crime novel audience.

Yeah. The options for lots of leisure are either: a) be homeless, or b) be rich. Those of us inbetween always have to choose and make compromises.

In my life, this has forced me to quit on a bunch of things I would have continued otherwise, and to lean down things like my workouts and so on. This isn't necessarily bad, I like that I can now do 80% with 20% of time/effort, but still, would be nice to have more slack.

There are other things to see beyond Gaudi -- and he's not quite such a unique outlier as you might be led to believe! Gaudi is justifiably the most celebrated and well-known, but he was part of an architectural movement, not just a solo genius.

For example, the Palau de la Música Catalana is amazing, and has lots of the fluid forms and nature iconography you might have assumed was unique to Gaudi, but it's by a different architect (Domènech i Montaner, says wikipedia).

Good point is - "it helped me get a better understanding of where I was". That's repeated by many users having the "north is up" setup.

Certainly, if you have the other setting where your arrow is following the vehicle's direction, then what you see on the map is just an extension of what your eyes see already. While it might be very helpful in specific situations like crossroads and switching lanes, in general it doesn't help much when one wants to learn how things are interrelated in space around. "North is up" gives that. Mind has amazing capabilities of learing even when busy

The problem with that attitude is that while niche features might be used by a small percentage of the user base, for every feature its a different subset. If you remove all niche features you will end up with software that is worse for a large portion of your users.

This is the reason why telemetry has negative value in the hands of the average developer. You can make all kinds of logically sounding conclusions from it but they are still wrong.
by t1E9mE7JTRjf | 2025-09-19 08:18:35+00:00
What I would consider is that nostr doesn't show you content. The content you see is a function of: 1. The people you follow 2. The relays you read from 3. The clients (apps) you use

I can't think of any clients which surface weird stuff (I've never seen any on nostr). I think to reach this situation a user must follow weird accounts and thus get their content - but then I can't see that as being nostr related, since someone could do that on the internet or other networks.

> could mean anything from seeming a bit strange but being highly intelligent and perfectly capable

No, everyone that is diagnosed under ASD has some sort of care needs. If you are just a bit strange and it is not disabling in any form, then you are just strange.

People see autistic people on the internet and seem to miss that video editing exists and that the they are seeing just a very specific and carefully chosen part of this person. They are seeing the highlight reel not daily life that can look very differently.

One of the fears with removing Aspergers was indeed that some people diagnosed under Asperger might not be diagnose under ASD as it is arguably stricter.

> to being totally non-communicative, being drastically intellectually and emotionally underdeveloped and being unable to function requiring 24 hour care.

The problem is that many people see things as single line from low care needs to high care when in reality it is multi dimensional. Just being non-verbal does not mean that one is not intelligent, that is a huge stigma that non-verbal autistic people suffer. Many autistic people struggle with sensory issues but some don't. You might struggle heavily in one area but not so much in another.

If you know one autistic person, you know one autistic person.

> The still grossly overbroad "3 level" system is trash.

It is a step in the right direction because it realizes that care needs can change over the course of a persons life. You are born autistic but how disabling it is for you can change depending on how much help you get. It can get better or worse depending on your life situation.

Otherwise you have a current situation where people assume it isn't worth giving a non-verbal autistic child a proper education because they they think that they will never be able to life on their own anyway, acting like their outcomes are already predetermined. Or when someone with Asperger is assumed to never have serious care needs.

That said, people that have been diagnosed as Asperger, I don't correct them if they cling to their diagnosis. It is the diagnosis they have identified with for years or decades and if it what works for them then that is fine.

Still the new system is a good step in the right direction. Not perfect but better.

Not really. Cryptos are born out of criticism for current systems and they are an ever evolving technology fueled by those same critics.

What doesn't make sense is when the other party starts making stories just to tarnish other competing technologies. Just now the OP was asked to provide details to replicate his findings and those were indeed very "fuzzy" to say the least.
