Yes, I didn't even know they didn't had a version based on the last LTS (that was release more than 1 year ago). Especially considering that they have a strong focus for developers, and developers in general wants the new-ish libraries otherwise things starts to break or just in general compatibility issue with newer programs or libraries that you may depend for work.

It does seems to me that it would be better to invest one more release cycle in Gnome before switching all efforts to their Cosmic DE. But good luck for the team nonetheless.

Awesome read except I have one nit. Instead of writing translating functions to convert everything from US Customary units to Unity, Metric, and the rest of sanity, you should have converted everything to metric in the formulas. Rewritten the math. It's not that hard, it's not that difficult, saves you all those function calls, improves performance, and simplifies the math a whole bunch.

Air density can become pliable, controllable. Thrust velocities match projectile spec velocities (m/s) making calculating intersect a breeze. Trust me, you want to convert the FORTRAN math into standard metric. They didn't believe in Base10 back then so do the math.

I believe this can be done (clumsily) by setting up presets for different groups of apps, one preset per use case: https://genode.org/documentation/articles/sculpt-25-04#Custo...

Not ideal, but the Sculpt “desktop” is still immature. Genode is primarily a framework for building secure OSes, with Sculpt being a kind of demonstration piece to help devs understand how it works. It’s only recently that the project has had the resources to expand and grow Sculpt usability. I’m hoping they continue this work, as Sculpt has a lot of potential to be a usable and secure desktop OS. The backend is mostly ready, but it lacks UX investment.

Actual "0-trust scenarios" are incredibly elusive in the real world. It pretty much comes down to illegal or "extra-legal" transactions. Almost nobody in the real world has a practical interest in carrying out transactions with people they don't trust and people that our outside the jurisdiction of their legal framework.

It turns out that most people actually like being able to press criminal charges or have the ability to bring a law suit when the transaction goes south.

An ice cream shop just opened a few blocks from my house.

For weeks, they've had a line of dozens even at 9pm when I drive by.

I don't think that "everyone likes trying new things when they first become available" is unique to AI. Even ice cream stores have this effect, so I'm not sure if you just discount everything new or aren't familiar with this general phenomenon.

Of course, this is about Python and NumPy.

In practice, you'll often encounter the code before the underlying math (especially in Machine Learning), so developing intuition from both directions is always helpful.

Btw, if you enjoy pure mathematics, starting from Chapter 4 in the book, I begin defining vectors and the axioms of vector spaces:

Show HN: Ekhos – On-Device AI Transcription App
by tonyekh | 2025-09-26 13:03:46+00:00
Hey HN, Tony here, I built an on-device AI transcription assistant for professionals who require full data privacy, such as legal and medical users. Everything is offline and transcripts are encrypted in SQLLite database. The audio files and transcripts never leave your device so it fully cloud-free service. My goal is to provide an intuitive, easy-to-use app with unlimited transcriptions and no caps.

I used the following tech stacks to build it: Python (Whisper models), Avalonia UI (frontend), C# (backend), and SQLite (database).

Here's some of the key features:

Speaker Identification: Automatically labels speakers (SPEAKER 01, SPEAKER 02) and allows you to update them with real names. Whisper Model Transcription: Supports 98 languages and multiple audio/video formats. Real-Time Transcription: Transcribe audio with your device microphone or system speakers which is ideal for meetings, legal depositions, or court proceedings. Bulk Transcription: Queue multiple files for batch processing, useful for podcasts or large audio collections. Proofreading & Editing Tools: Integrated media player and editor for quick corrections or scoping. AI Models: Choose Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert to balance speed and accuracy. GPU Acceleration: Boost transcription performance with NVIDIA GPUs. Export Options: Save transcripts as Word, PDF, or plain text.

We just launched version 2.0.0 on Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nqjkq3l649b

Check out demos: https://ekhos.ai/demos

Benchmarks & hardware requirements: https://ekhos.ai/help-center/hardware-requirements/

Learn more on our website: https://ekhos.ai

What’s next:

Additional on-device AI tools (e.g., summarization) and MacOS support

Please give it a try. I’d love to hear your feedback and answer any of your questions.

> So what to do? Go to nearest coffee shop. You’re lucky if they don’t play tasteless trendy music. You’re lucky if a waiter doesn’t keep asking if you need anything, isn’t intrusive, and doesn’t subtly let you know when it’s time to leave by checking on you constantly . You’re lucky if no teenagers talking loudly about their-whatever-teens-talk-about-these-days.

I used to work from coffee shops until I realized how annoying it is to have a café full of people working on their laptops. A once lively place that was supposed to be an escape to relax, meet friends or read a book has turned into a soulless office environment. I want to go to a café to escape work, not to be reminded of it by constant keyboard sounds or video calls.

> You’re lucky if a waiter doesn’t keep asking if you need anything, isn’t intrusive, and doesn’t subtly let you know when it’s time to leave by checking on you constantly .

> Oh, by the way, pay a lot of money to be here and to drink a nice cup of burnt coffe.

How entitled can you be to think that you can occupy a table for the whole day and expect to only buy one coffee?

> Then rent an office or subscribe to a co-working space? What? I get paid to work, not to pay for it.

Yes, that is exactly you are supposed to do. If you are working remotely and can´t afford a co-working space you are probably underpaid. Your salary should either include that expense or your employer should cover that for you.

Your own quote you posted didn't say "I created the Internet". It said "I took the initiative in creating the Internet", which when coming from a politician is most reasonably interpreted as creating the conditions and policies (e.g. funding and regulatory framework) to make the Internet possible, which, according to the inventors of TCP/IP, he did.

Not a slippery slope. It already happens in practice. For example, the most I hear about D-lang is from people leaving the community due to its "we don't care about politics" stance which caused failure to moderate abuse.

> if we follow that logic, there always will be people that

Now that's slippery slope... People may not agree with each other, but there's a massive difference between "I don't like something trivial" and "I think that group of people should not exist". It's not all the same thing or equally important. There's a good reason to remove community leaders who have the latter views.

Always saw him as a commentator or blogger that wrote about Linux back in the day and not an actual developer, each have their place and OSS.

There are plenty of more politically motivated people that have no contributions on anything, haven't built a thing and all they do is preach OSS. Some lean left, others more to the right. Although I would say I've seem more leftists like this because there's this believe among many that OSS is socialist, but to each their own as long as they're not trampling on other people's rights.

The problem I see is with some of the crazy people becoming more and more emboldened and the moderate majority just there bending backwards to appease them as if in hopes that it will calm them down, but they just increase the threat level.

> Not saying the federal government doesn't need efficiency improvements.

I'll say it. The federal government is not bloated and it is broadly efficient; therefore a DOGE-like effort to fire people at the executive level is unwarranted, and itself an instance of waste, fraud, and abuse. So far we've given the people saying the government is inefficient too much latitude and deference without having to prove their position.

One thing we keep letting slide, even on this site where we value precision of words and evidence, is letting them say "efficiency" without defining it. Whenever someone says something is "efficient" you have to ask "by what metric?" Saying something is efficient or inefficient is meaningless on its own, it needs further specification to draw conclusions.

So by what metric is the government efficient? These charts say it all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_employees_in_the_Un...

This paints a picture of a federal government that's able to stay a fixed size as the country grows by offloading critical functions to local governments. That's exactly what everyone here wants the government to do, and it's doing it.

We also let the people saying the government is rife with waste, fraud, and abuse to keep saying that without contending with the IG system. How has that system failed so badly at policing fraud and abuse? I know the answer (they haven't failed at all, they're very good at what they do) but the people supporting DOGE efforts seem to not be aware of IGs at all. How much fraud has been persecuted by DOGE versus the IG system? The answer is DOGE has not prosecuted any fraud whatsoever.

I'm using niri with quickshell now and it has a similar feel, as quickshell implements many features in a unified way as in Gnome Shell.

In niri you can have the bar on all monitors, and you can also configure a window to fill the available space and have it "think" it's full screen while the top bar is still visible (see the toggle-windowed-fullscreen setting).

I've "discovered" Product Hunt today, from this article, and my first impression is that it is the hub of a subculture of useless dotcoms launching useless pseudoproducts.

There might be something good, or at least profitable, in the middle of this slop of misplaced effort, but upvotes and recency are not useful metrics for someone hunting for a product.

> Astonishingly entitled. The point of a coffee shop isn't to provide you with a nice space to work but to sell coffee.

How is this entitled? The author is just stating, accurately, that coffee shops are not conducive to working all day there. The author did not demand that coffee shops change to accommodate; to the contrary, the author simply chose a different venue.

> My biggest issue which is the crust of this discussion might be that I believe that tech stock prices are roaring so high mostly because of the AI hype that they bring which raises their prices.

They are not that high at all, at least nowhere near bubble territory according at least to the financial analysts I follow. A better metric than simply p/e is looking at forward p/e because the current price reflects their forward guidance.

> My conclusion is that A lot of people can't / couldn't invest into OpenAI / thus flowed their money into anything LLM / AI related in the markets... & the companies are loving this and mentioning AI as much as possible

I guess, but that in itself does not mean it is a bubble.

> I can agree if you think that these companies are investing into infrastructure but that infrastucture is now mostly GPU's which are only really useful for LLM related tasks and becomes redundant for general purpose stuff like running servers for the most part.

Recommendation algorithms run on GPUs, which is a huge part of any social network (like meta and tiktok). Like I said there is more than LLMs and those need to run on GPUs as well. They also provide a service to rent out GPUs to other companies to run their own models and make a very good business of it.

> when fundamentally the business model is kinda messed up when you think about it y'know?

You are alone in that opinion. These are some of the most profitable companies in history, which is why they make such a huge part of the S&P. You are talking about a feedback loop of investing, which is normal in any investment bull cycle. It can turn into a bubble and we may be at the start of one, but being an AI skeptic investor just means not participating and having poor returns. The future is uncertain and it sounds to me like you are looking for reasons not to invest.

I wish they had picked a system different than airplane boarding.

Group one does represent status, but we also all can't board at once, carry on space is limited, and god knows everyone standing around the line to get on the plane is already a problem enough that it would be worse if it was just everyone trying to board at once.

I also feel like the status obsession isn't as common as the writer thinks. Status may influence what we shop for, but I'm not sure it is as present in everyone's mind as the writer thinks.

Definitely agree that the stack matters.

If you're doing JS/Python/Ruby/Java, it's probably the best at that. But even with our stack (elixir), it's not as good as, say, React/NextJS, but it's definitely good enough to implement tons of stuff for us.

And with a handful of good CLAUDE.md or rules files that guide it in the right direction, it's almost as good as React/NextJS for us.

The black pawn on b2 is eating a lot of possible moves for the other pieces…

It has only one legal move, take the Knight on c1. If that pawn wasn't there it would free that square for 4 white queens and a Knight. But of course the black king would already be in checkmate so these moves wouldn't really be available.

Tempting to put that e5 Queen elsewhere so that it doesn't immediately checkmate and leave the b2 square available for others.

edit: I imagine that pawn also needs to survive that far in order to avoid a stalemate.

Yeah, because rocks EXIST.

If gold loses its speculative value, you still have a very heavy, extremely conductive, corrosion resistant, malleable metal with substantial cultural importance.

When crypto collapses, you have literally nothing. It is supported entirely and exclusively by its value to speculators who only buy so that they can resell for profit and never intend to use it.

I would say it is sensible. Given that an array index is an unsigned integer, what are you going to do with an index of zero?

Perhaps I've been influenced by writing a lot of code in assembler, way back when, but zero-based has always seemed completely natural to me, to the extent that I find it very hard to understand algorithms expressed in non-zero based code.

Yes! This is exactly it and at least for me the change happened sometime in the last year. I often look at real estate online in Vietnam and a year ago I could scroll through pages of houses, now I get a handful of somewhat relevant videos and then it’s cirque videos. It’s wild how bad it is.

Reminds me of how they blew up the rabbit hole of next videos long ago. I remember long long ago, my favorite part was the next video queued up after watching a video. You would go down these wild rabbit holes of videos that got ever more specific. Now it’s the same issue with search a bunch of unrelated videos recommended for watching next.

A bunch of companies seem to be relying on similar federal cover. To me it seems dumb because whatever legal exposure they create will outlast the current administration. It’s impossible to predict who will be running the federal government 3 years from now, and liability does not evaporate much in that time frame.

The next administration could decide to side with localities, and assist prosecutions of the companies and executives involved. Or even pursue their own federal prosecutions.

I've observed that messes and complexity often but not always tends to just be noisy information streams. If you try to make a decision based on large volumes of low quality data, the world feels incredibly complex and constantly shifting and self-contradictory.

If you manage to improve the signal to noise ratio it feels a lot more manageable and understandable.

Worked with an enterprise architect once who couldn't say anything that didn't start with "in this complex and ever changing information landscape". You built this complex and ever changing information landscape, sir. It consists of your hexagonal architecture, your microservices, your kubernetes cluster.

That assertion is very location dependant.

It's certainly common across a lot of Australia, including libraries running dedicated facilities for co-working and makerspaces. As an example: https://www.slq.qld.gov.au/visit/spaces/edge/bookable-spaces.

Both state (https://precinctqld.com.au/) and local (https://businesshub.brisbane.qld.au/coworking) governments then also run free or heavily subsided workspaces if you need something less ephemeral too.

> I published an article on Medium two days ago

Do you feel this article is groundbreaking and powerful and contains information that those in secret total power around you would try to hide and control?

> The analytics on medium show 6.7K views with a 61% read rate. Yet the article only has 89 presentations and doesn’t show up at all when searching relevant tags

Your post has been up for two days. A great number of those 6.7K views are probably not human eyeballs, unless your article is the one site on the web getting organic traffic all the sudden.

> does that mean my article is being suppressed or is there an alternative explanation?

This means you think the stats provided by Medium are worth building a conspiracy theory on, in 48 hours. I'm not sure we should be focusing on Sam Altman's mental health, but perhaps looking inward.

It is easy to conflate an unreliable non-indicator (Medium stats) as a real sign of something happening involving other people recognizing the genius of your article and responding in a very short period to stop you from communicating. This doesn't make sense and is probably really a sign that it would be good to spend meaningful time around other humans, face-to-face kinda time, multiple hours a day starting right away. It's easy to get lost on your own otherwise, and I think this article/response shows you're still at the top of the slippery slide where you have a chance not to go all-in on the tin foil theories.

When I ran the Python Meetup here in Phoenix -- an engineer for Intel's compilers group would show up all the time. I remember he would constantly be frustrated that Intel management would purposely down-play and cripple advances of the Atom processor line because they thought it would be "too good" and cannibalize their desktop lines. This was over 15 years ago -- I was hearing this in real-time. He flat out said that Intel considered the mobile market a joke.

Curious if you're a native English speaker - the "-cide" suffix has a general root meaning of "to kill", which means that words ending in it generally have the opposite connotation to the word with the suffix.

E.g. "Eco" has positive connotations whereas "ecocide" has negative ones. Similarly, here "geno" would never naturally seem to have negative connotations without the suffix.

Just my 2c

Just want to give Lichess a shoutout here. They are fantastic, provide great content, have things for free that you need to pay for on Chess.com, and a fantastic amount of variants.

Even better, the level of play in those variants, like 960 or Crazyhouse, is MUCH higher on Lichess than on Chess.com.
