I think we're in a new era, so I consider this version of the web to be "AAI 1", and next year it will be "AAI 2", and so on. This era will be hereafter referred to as "in the year of the AI overlord", or "Anno Domini Artificialis Intellegentiae Artificialis" (according to google translate).

Look at the website linked in the vortex website footer: https://lfprojects.org/ It has all the bells and whistles of using an expensive law firm.

I have no idea who exactly is behind this, but to me it does definitely not seem like a no-name open source genius, I assume it is some lucky AI grifter. They have two nicely designed, expensive marketing websites. They have all the legal documents for the parent LLC in Delaware.

The delaware corp "donates" the multi-million-worth tech to linux foundation, and uses it as tax write-off to offset gains from some other lucky AI grifter play the person did.

Just the chuzpe to self-compare yourself to something like PostgreSQL is what gets me. Why can't they just be rich and leave people doing actual work for the benefit of our common good be. No, they must make big blog posts claiming they are the next big thing after PostgreSQL.

So many red flags..

I don't know what's ideal but it should be more direct and more local. If the goal of democracy is to implement will of the people the current system fails miserably as the loyalty of party officials is to the party not to the people (it's more important for them to have good position in the party than among local voters).

In Poland for example you can't get to EU parliament if you are not chosen by centralized party committee to run. You can't get in as an independent because your party needs to get 5% of the votes in the whole country. This means we not only can't vote on issues but we can't even choose people to represent us unless they get a nod from the party. Guess whose interests they are going to defend once in power.

This makes power completely detached from the voters. The only politics is inside the party. This is not democracy by any reasonable measure.

The deepest compartments (below the waterline) are often like this. It is not always possible for taller equipment spaces (engineering, magazines) in small ships. Crew berthing is often below the waterline and accessed via deck hatches as you say, but you do end up with hard choices when the space is flooding and people are still unaccounted for. Hope you can stabilize the ship or run it aground before it sinks, or 100% guarantee that some crew will drown?

Above the waterline, it is common to have “loops” of passageways for movement of equipment and people (including casualties). Firemain stations will be spaced along such a loop because they are used to both fight nearby fires and dewater the compartments below.

I agree with your first paragraph.

For your second, I think you don’t understand why people buy/use iPads. First off, I don’t really know anyone who uses an iPad mini for anything productive (other than as a test device). A 7-9” screen is just not useful compared to a 13” iPad for things like Sidecar or reading sheet music in live performances. The 7-9” screen being an unfolded phone doesn’t change this.

A folding iPhone could eat the iPad mini, but that’s never been a cash cow for Apple or something power users cared about - it’s more of an “iPod touch” for kids. (And frankly, the Switch 2 kind of obsoletes it.) The thing that would eat 13” iPads’ lunch is something more like Apple Vision.

This is so nice, I wish more packages followed something like this. I'm on AMD integrated GPU (doesn't even support Rocm). Whenever I install a Python package that depends on PyTorch, it automatically installs some GBs of CUDA related packages.

This ends up wasting space and slowing down installation :(

Speaking of PyTorch and CUDA, I wish the Vulkan backend becomes stable, but that seems to super far dream...

I switched to Android last year, from being a long time iPhone user, just for the fold. I got the google pixel fold 9 pro. I also got lucky as it's right when all the cool AI integration started (and it sounds like it doesn't really work on Apple).

My first hand experience is that I will probably never be able to go back to a non-folding phone. The ability to get a small tablet on demand anywhere (subway, train, bed, couch, etc.) is really the next technological breakthrough we were waiting for.

I think the pricing and the battery kinda suck, android also doesn't have the same polish as iOS, but most of the criticism that I've read is not really relevant (for example, I can't see the crease at all if I look at my phone)

I use it a lot to read PDFs and watch videos, or when U want to multi task with two apps open at the same time (e.g. filling forms with a pic of my passport on the other screen). I also read mangas from it. Oh and the ability to use the back camera for selfies while being able to see myself is so great I use that all the time.

Ironically enough Kirk was advocating for it just weeks ago: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/charlie-kirk-calls-full-...

I think it's unwise to be reflexively dismissive when norms that were previously taken for granted turn out to be ephemeral. I find a useful heuristic/gut check is to imagine explaining news from the previous week/month/year to someone who had just woken up from an extended coma.

Here’s one, but there are others, and you can find videos on social media

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15078883/Sharia-pat...

The people doing this are posting videos of them harassing store owners on TikTok, to encourage others who follow them to do the same. In some cases they’re targeting Muslim-owned stores for not being Islamic enough, and in other cases they’re just targeting stores that are in “their neighborhoods”. Either way, they are trying to make it so that their business drops so that they’re forced to comply or so they give up and sell (to an Islamic buyer for cheap).

Note that this is part of a larger playbook of creating separate Islamic societies that has been see in other countries previously (like England, India, etc).

While there is nuance between the government and a private benefit corp like Bluesky restricting speech, I'm rolling it all together for these purposes. I agree there is legal nuance (de facto vs de jure). As I mentioned, Bluesky is entitled to do so, as it is their platform. So, you take your speech to another platform operated on a distributed protocol. This is no different then creators posting their content to Rumble instead of traditional social platforms, for example (as Charlie Kirk did).

https://corp.rumble.com/our-story/

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/20/what-is-r...

> Founded in 2013 by a Canadian entrepreneur, Chris Pavlovksi, Rumble was designed to be an alternative to YouTube for small content creators. But it quickly began to pride itself on being the opposite of other tech firms.

> According to Rumble’s website, it is “immune to cancel culture” and aims to “restore the internet to its roots by making it free and open once again”. Pavlovksi has described it as “neutral”.

> Rumble is backed by the billionaire and prominent conservative venture capitalist Peter Thiel, who invested in 2021, and the conservative former Fox News presenter Dan Bongino, who has 2.9 million subscribers himself. The platform is valued at more than $2bn (£1.6bn).

Fascinating case showing how LLM promoters will happily take "verified" benchmarks at their word.

It's easy to publish "$NEWMODEL received an X% bump in SWE-Bench Verified!!!!".

Proper research means interrogating the traces, like these researchers did (the Gist shows Claude 4 Sonnet): https://gist.github.com/jacobkahn/bd77c69d34040a9e9b10d56baa...

I've not actually used the file explorer much, but I've seen that it's there. I assume it can't do file moves or deletes, though? That's the one thing I really miss from file pickers in other tools, otherwise I find the fuzzy search approach really convenient.

I should definitely use the buffer picker more, at the moment I use the gn/gb commands and it mostly works, but then I suddenly end up with too many open buffers and it's hard to figure out where I need to go again.

The feeling I get reading that is that you shouldn't interpret that conversation as a verbatim quotation. Even though the author did everything possible to make it seem like it was verbatim; a hunch I get reading the entire thing is that its summarized and viewed through the author's eyes.

E.g. maybe they actually said some variation of "your app is bricking iPhones? how did you get through app store review..." and the author interpreted it as "squashing his company like a bug".

You just don't load the module and use certbot and that will work which is what I'm doing. People get carried away with this stuff. The software is quite modular. It's fine for people to simplify it.

For a bunch of tech-aware people the inability for you all here to modify your software to meet your needs is insane. As a 14 year old I was using the ck patch series to have a better (for me) scheduler in the kernel. Every other teenager could do this shit.

In my 30s I have a low friction set up where each bit of software only does one thing and it's easy for me to replicate. Teenagers can do this too.

Somehow you guys can't do either of these things. I don't get it. Are you stupid? Just don't load the module. Use stunnel. Use certbot. None of these things are disappearing. I much prefer. I much prefer. I much prefer. Christ. Never seen a userbase that moans as much about software (I moan about moaning - different thing) while being unable to do anything about it as HN.

You are misinterpreting the statistics.

Having more people talk than follow is good thing and probably consistent across social media.

That's just saying the average person posts for 2 days and follows for 1. Which seems very typical if not heavy on the following.

Pointing at more people speaking than sheeping and calling that an ominous statistic seems off, don't you think?

It's not solid state,just non mechanical, lithium batteries do undergo a chemical and toacertain degree physical state change as ions move and covert compounds from one to another. True solid state would use so called "supper caps", which provide physical spaces for electrons to rest, until discharged, with at present no swelling or physical movement,though swelling might become apparent with high enough capacities, which on consideration seems like it could come with a whole new way for things to go suddenly and drasticaly wrong, where something goes from a solid to a completly disasociated plasma instantly. nothing that will surprise an experienced linesman as initialy it would probable sound alot like the insulation starting to break down just before something carrying a lot of current at very high voltages makes just befor it finds ground

multiple services depending on different outputs of a single acme client can be expressed, right now, in 2025, within systemd unit definitions, without deeply integrating a systemd-certd-or-whatever-as-such.

which is basically ideal, no? for all the buy-in that the systemd stapling-svchost.exe-onto-cgroups approach asks of us, at the very least we have sufficiently expressive system to do that sort of thing. where something on the machine has a notion of what wants what from what, and you can issue a command to see whether that dependency is satisfied. like. we are there. good. nice. hopefully ops guys are content to let sleeping dogs lie, right?

I might be wrong here, but based on the context, I read the "I don't want to know about your names or your company" as CYA for both parties: "I can't be legally obligated to disclose things I don't know, so please don't tell me anything you don't want Apple to know. I can't say that outright, though, so instead I'm going to say something that could be reasonably read as 'I'm busy and don't want to hear your pitch'".

Oh, I don't doubt it that parents and students are optimizing for SAT outcomes themselves. You can't expect them not to. But no amount of SAT prepmaxxing can save you if you just genuinely know nothing - and having SAT is a huge upgrade over not having SAT. For one, it's a huge equalizer.

I've seen a few countries that went from "no standardized testing" to "full send standardized testing", and the benefits are too large to ignore. You can improve upon the tests, but removing them is a road to nowhere.

Some more context on why the PR doesn't make a dent in the existing benchmark suite: - existing benchmarking suite uses react 17 as the baseline, the new useInsertionEffect hook requires react 18. Additionally, the new hook plays a role in concurrent render scenarios also introduced by react 18, which the current benchmark wasn't testing. We made a new benchmark on react 19 in a worst case scenario that the new hook is designed to mitigate, we shared a recording of the before and after here https://github.com/styled-components/styled-components/pull/... with before and after links. = react 18 and later and its concurrent render mode uses cooperative scheduling techniques and tries to yield to the main thread and have your application stay responsive. You won't see a difference in flamecharts in the same way as typical perf issues, since the problem isn't that something is blocking main thread render and causing locks or fps drops necessarily. The problem is that background render takes much longer and risk hitting the deadline where it becomes sync. - it's notoriously difficult to write benchmarks that tap into concurrent mode behaviors in react, our own benchmark had to write css that escape the default styled components scoped selectors in order to get consistent bench results. - if it's the same speed as before in the react 17 benchmarks it means the new behavior and its fallback when outside of react 18 is working as intended and did not cause a regression. It's not reasonable for it to be significantly faster in all cases, the purpose is to prevent it from being extremely slow in Suspense, React.lazy, useTransition, useDeferredValue, <Activity mode="hidden">, startTransition, and other concurrent mode cases.

For my own curiousity on a React app on my work desktop.

- Clean `bun install`, 48s - converted package-lock.json - With bun.lock, no node_modules, 19s - Clean with `deno install --allow-scripts`, 1m20s - with deno.lock, no node_modules, 20s - Clean `npm i`, 26s - `npm ci` (package-lock.json), no node_modules, 1m,2s (wild)

So, looks like if Deno added a package-lock.json conversion similar to bun the installs would be very similar all around. I have no control over the security software used on this machine, was just convenience as I was in front of it.

Hopefully someone can put eyes on this issue: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/25815

It sounds like your point is when left wing politicos are targeted and people celebrate it, those are obviously sock-puppets and bots. But when right wing celebrities (for lack of a better word) are targeted, it's the democratic base that comes out in force to celebrate.

So only right wing commentators who advocate political violence deserve protection?

Show HN: Nannabanana.ai – Nanna-approved image generator

The only reason this exists is because AI coding turns intrusive thoughts into product launches overnight.

In reality, this was a good toy project to test out Cloudflare's platform. I've traditionally used AWS / Netlify / and a few others. Cloudflare was pretty easy to set up and they offer at-cost .ai domains. $140 for 2 years... painful for Nanna, but hey, boosts that valuation multiple by at least 2x.

I'll probably use this as a project to experiment with some other things, like some of the new payments / billing startups being built for AI-specific use cases.

I cannot follow this post at all. Where does $10B come from? It's never mentioned aside from the tagline.

I'm also trying to understand what OASIS was really supposed to do that was going to.... uh... matter? It's a video chat app where you can be someone else in the video. Ok, that's cool but I'm failing to see how this is groundbreaking.

> Her: "Wait, haven't we banned you from the App Store? Why haven't we killed your company already?"

> Me: "We... haven't exactly told anyone at Apple about this."

> Her: "You're a mosquito. Apple will just stomp on you and you will not exist."

Told Apple what? That they have a bug? Why would they ban you from the app store? Why would someone say "You're a mosquito. Apple will just stomp on you and you will not exist.", it makes zero sense to me given the context laid out here.

Lastly, did Apple fix the problem? They made changes but we won't know anything for sure until next Friday at the very earliest.

Seems like a lot of name dropping (why should I care about a big name that didn't invest in you?) and big numbers ($10B, never explained) for a failed startup.

> You can be right about the future and still fail in the present.

Not clear at all what OASIS was "right" about really.

> Apple's A19 Pro isn't just a chip announcement. It's a confession. An admission. A vindication.

Ok, sure. If you say so.

Lastly, what were you "right" about? That iPhones can get hot?

Just none of this makes any sense or seems very interesting IMHO.

This is such an odd submission, and a lot of the claims are bizarre and seemingly nonsensical. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Exchanges in it seem remarkably...fictional. It reads like a tosser peacocking LinkedIn post by someone desperately trying to scam some rubes.

It also seems like one of those self-aggrandizing things that tries to spin everything as a reaction to themselves, instead of just technology progressing. No, vapour chamber cooling isn't some grand admission, it's something that a variety of makers have been adopting to reduce throttling as a spec-sheet item of their top end devices. It isn't all about you.

And given that the base 17 doesn't have VCC, I guess Apple isn't "admitting" it at all, no?

And the CoreML v MLX nonsense at the end is entirely nonsensical and technically ignorant. Like, wow.

No one should learn anything from this piece. The author might know what they're talking about (though I am doubtful), but this pieces was "how to make an Apple event about ourselves" and it's pretty ridiculous.

GDPR doesn’t mention “personally identifiable information” once; it’s concerned with personal data, which is “any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’)”.

The rest is correct: the restrictions are aimed at organisations, not individuals.

Believe it or not, this is how the Linux Foundation organizes itself. It's more legwork than something simpler like Apache Foundation.

Basically in the US you need a legally recognized entity to hold intellectual property. "Donating" the project involves setting up a "Series LLC" that is nested underneath the top-level Linux Foundation corporation, and donating the IP into it.

My takeaway was civil war isn't something to be desired in any way, not even journalists who might gain (money, work, notoriety) regardless of the outcome.

The shock seems to be the point.

Quite different from all the documentaries my dad was really into about the US civil war. (Many of which lionized the southern generals.) Or annoying "states rights" points that he seems to have picked up from some YouTube gutter.
