Just last week I moved from using a Noctua NH-U12S to cool my 5950X, to a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 AIO liquid cooler (first time using liquid cooling), and while I expected the difference to be big, I didn't realize how big.

Now my CPU idles at ~35 usually, which is just 5 degrees above the ambient temperature (because of summer...), and hardly ever goes above 70 even under load, and still super quiet. Realize now I should have done the upgrade years ago.

Now if I could only get water cooling for the radiator/GPU I'm using. Unfortunately no water blocks available for it (yet) but can't wait to change that too, should have a huge impact as well.

I dont think keeping bees is morally wrong. I eat meat too and some animal had to die for that.

But I do think that comment up thread trying to frame it as some service to them or "sweet deal" is ridiculous. It reminds me when management/politicians make chances strictly for own benefit and puts out manipulative memo trying to make the situation sound as anything but that.

It is ok to use bees for honey. We dont do it for bees and they are not getting all that much value from that.

Thanks, that's a great suggestion! You're absolutely right, seeing a concrete example of a signal and its performance on the homepage would be much clearer.

It's at the top of my to-do list now. In the meantime, I have been posting regular updates with recent signals on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/OEnginsal) and Reddit (u/ozanenginsal).

Really appreciate the feedback!

> is really the next technological breakthrough we were waiting for

I'm 99% convinced that the iPhone Air is the crippled child of Apple's intention to make a foldable.

They couldn't nail the foldable part (for the time being at least) so they just launched the Air with the things they nailed about the design.

> android also doesn't have the same polish as iOS

Could you provide examples here? Don't get if this is a "feels" thing.

The things that imho iOS really nails better are: - integration with devices (in the same Apple ecosystem) - battery life when browsing

What else?

I briefly debated a telescope and go-to mount to supplement my already existing high end DSLR.

But having tried doing telescope astrophotography briefly before and being discouraged by the hassle of heavy gear and complex setup I decided to go for both convenience and price and bought the S50.

It's compact, it's all in-one, Inclues tripod. It have solar filters as part of the kit. It have an app that works great with go-to functions and so on.

The convenience factor makes it a pleasant breeze to use(astrophotography can be a very inconvenient and fiddly hobby) and the price point is hard to beat. A very pleasant entry point to astrophotography, the dwarf 3 and S20 being the other options and I would advice against spending more before you have 200 hours of observations logged(which if you actually like the hobby will not take particularly much time)

The wording is “legally correct” but meant to look like it was an ICC unforced decision. In reality the US sanctioned the ICC chief prosecutor and Microsoft gave the ICC 2 options: either the ICC cuts off their own employee, or Microsoft cuts off the whole ICC. ICC made a choice between these 2 options and all the public statements were then made to not further tarnish Microsoft’s reputation.

To be fair, under US law Microsoft doesn’t have much choice either. Companies operating under US law inherit the untrustworthiness that comes with this.

Alibaba keeps releasing gold content

I just tried Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B on Qwen chat, and it's fast! The quality seem to match Qwen3-235B-A22B. Quite impressive how they achieved this. Can't wait for the benchmarks at Artificial analysis

According to Qwen Chat, Qwen3-Next has the following limits:

Maximum context length: 262,144 tokens

Max summary generation length: 32,768 tokens

This is 2x higher on context length and 4x higher on summary generation compared to Qwen3-235B-A22B, damn

> Qwen3-Next [...] excels in ultra-long-context understanding and complex tasks

Even though their new hybrid architecture is fascinating, I think I'll continue to stick with Qwen2.5-Turbo because it's one of the few models that supports 1M tokens in context length. My use case is uploading large pdfs and ask questions across chapters

It's regional "news" to me, but I have no doubt that I would not have heard of it if it had not somehow eddied it's way onto hn.

Regional media is dead, it's attention bandwidth has been taken up by spacially distributed, but otherwise super narrow opinion bubbles. And unfortunately I don't see any substitute for the kind of local information that we should have, like communal level politics. For a while it looked as if Facebook might survive filling that gap, but that's not really what happened.

Somewhat tangential: Is there a lightweight distribution of GTK2? I was shopping for a cross-platform GUI library with a C API, and GTK2 seemed like the right choice. But the Windows distribution [1] had 30-40 DLLs and none of them seemed to be optional in DependencyWalker.

I'm working HARD on this problem for v3 of my Obsidian Starter Kit (https://obsidianstarterkit.com).

For now I'm keeping (and even adding!) folders because (1) AI is still not good enough at finding what it needs (2) context window is too limited with current gen LLMs and reading everything doesn't work at scale (3) few folders imply too many files in a folder, name clashes, etc.

I'll revisit that choice later, but for now my approach works, scales well and helps AI find what it needs (in general).

I've documented/shared my approach in great length in my course (https://knowledge-management-for-beginners.com), but it boils down to:

- A clearly defined set of note types (eg daily note, meeting note, literature note, etc etc)

- A specific tag for each note type

- A template for every note type (consistency for type tags + metadata)

- A root structure that combines PARA + Johnny Decimal (mostly shared across tools & platforms; not only Obsidian to reduce cognitive overhead & consistency)

- A structure that maps note types (e.g., folders for periodic notes, folder for meeting notes, etc). This works great because a note only has one type and the number of types is very limited

- Daily notes as the entry point of EVERYTHING. Every idea gets in there first

- Periodic reviews as the way to extract raw notes in daily notes into separate notes with tags, links, metadata, etc ...

I have 10+K notes and I can find almost anything in seconds. And with AI, I combine the REST API plugin with an MCP server & docs to clearly describe the note types/structure, conventions, etc. That way AI can find everything easily, create notes where they belong with the right templates, ...

With v3 of the starter kit, I'm adding new types, but most importantly, adding Obsidian Bases for all sorts of needs. This is the killer feature of Obsidian to leverage knowledge at scale. I'm busy publishing different posts about the design over here in my community: https://www.knowii.net/c/show-off-your-garden/

My goal with knowledge management is not to hoard stuff and waste time. It supports everything I do, and I intend to keep/leverage the knowledge for the rest of my life.

Also, I'm not fiddling with the system most of the time. V3 of my starter kit is the first time I do a major overhaul in the last 3 years. It's been super solid/stable. Just now, I believe there are major opportunities to better support/leverage AI, Bases and visual thinking.

I'll later revisit the structure again once the API for Bases is available, as it's going to be a huge enabler for simplifying things; cfr: https://x.com/dSebastien/status/1966456879606861883

Sorry, yes, I did mean to write sapient. I'm not sure that's a conflict, however, as much as further along a spectrum. Whether or not eating cows is ethical is possible to debate because there is valid question about how much of a mind they have but that was never honestly in question for humans. The people who kept slaves had to invent things like the “mark of Cain” theology _because_ they knew their victims were intelligent, feeling creatures like themselves and had to justify treating them in a very profitable way. All of those elaborate “the gods want this” constructions exist to get people to override their natural instinct to recognize someone as a person.

It is exactly as simple as you think it is, but also not, as all cultural influences on politics through history has shown. Everything from the 1936 Berlin Olympics to CIA funding Jackson Pollock (and Kooning, Rothko, etc) to Metallica playing in Moscow in 1991.

Though competing with the deluge of internet media, Eurovision probably has a lot less impact.

Well, is fmt.Stringer supported? The result might surprise you:

req := expvar.NewInt("requests") req.Add(1) attr := slog.Any("requests", req) slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stderr, nil)).Info("text", attr) slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stderr, nil)).Info("json", attr)

This code produces

time=2025-09-12T13:15:42.125+02:00 level=INFO msg=text requests=1 {"time":"2025-09-12T13:15:42.125555+02:00","level":"INFO","msg":"json","requests":{}}

So the code that uses slog but does not know what handler will be used can't rely on it lazily calling the `String() string` method: half of the standard handlers do that, half don't.
Show HN: Nano2Image – Turn prompts and reference photos into images (no signup)
by xiaoyuan23 | 2025-09-12 11:23:22+00:00
I built Nano2Image: a tiny tool that turns a text prompt and/or a reference photo into a usable image in seconds. The goal is the fastest way to get something decent for e-commerce thumbnails, social headers, or quick design trials—without a login wall.

What it does now

Text → image and reference image → image (image-to-image).

Preset aspect ratios (1:1, 3:4, 9:16) to avoid post-crop.

No account required for a quick trial (daily rate limit to prevent abuse).

A minimal, guided UI: only the knobs most people need to ship a result.

How it’s built / trade-offs

Next.js on Cloudflare Pages (fast cold starts, global CDN).

Supabase for simple per-day quotas and lightweight logs.

Reference handling via https image URL to keep the front end lean.

Basic file checks; no batch queue yet to keep infra simple.

What’s intentionally different

Optimized for reference-driven results and speed-to-first-image.

Fewer choices by design—aiming for “good enough, quickly,” not a studio console.

Known limits / near roadmap

Character/identity consistency over long series isn’t robust yet.

No workspace/history or batch generation (planned).

Upcoming: batch mode, visual style/lighting presets, and shareable recipe links.

I’d love feedback on

Reliable input rules for reference images (size/crop/compression).

The minimum set of parameters you still want for practical outputs.

Whether recipe export or batch mode should land first.

Demo: https://nano2image.com/

I’ll be in the comments to answer questions and ship fixes quickly.

Especially at larger companies there’s very little difference between $10, $100, $1000, $10,000 from the perspective of the effort put in to pay for it.

You’re putting the same requests and forms, doing the same due diligence, getting the same approvals, etc. All contracts need to go through the same contract review, etc.

Few places I’ve worked have sensible rules to bypass that.

You still need to make sure you’re value for money, but aren’t as constrained as absolute price as much.

> At the time, I went "WTF?" and just commented it out to get it running again. I had bigger fish to fry... and just kind of forgot about it. Everything seemed fine.

You're running a database system and you just casually comment out the configuration setting the timezone?

In what way did everything "seem fine"? SELECT 1 returned something? No further investigation required??

Somewhere there is a React lurking :)

Honestly, I'd suggest a prioritsation matrix here.

Classify all the tasks with an impact / ease score from 0-5. Multiply the numbers together to understand the relative priority of each item.

It won't be perfect but it will a good place to start.

You also do this at a product level instead, and invest all your time onto one product to begin with. This might reduce your switching costs working between projects/products.

I don’t understand in what universe you think you objectively answered it to the best of your ability when you literally didn’t respond to a single point in the question and just talked about another topic entirely.

It’s not a trick question… I really want to understand what lead you to think that you can take known bullshitters and somehow seperate the fact from fiction. It’s just really confusing I think to me and others in this thread how on earth you arrived at the positions you did?

You seem to be quite focused on the idea that Israel is committing genocide which isn’t a controversial statement for a lot of people but I don’t understand why you hold up Tucker Carlson over the ICC who have much more credibility on the topic and came to the same conclusion. Why MTG and not AOC for example if you mean outspoken politicians specifically? The thinking patterns just seem incredibly strange and I wanted to know what you’re actually thinking here.

Let's model a shirt with a cylinder, and let's flat it in to rectangle. Some 50 cm x 100 cm could be OK for a quick estimate. It's 5000 cm, so 6.25 kW if we want to make it work fast. The OP wrote about 10 minutes. Let's relax it to a little more than 1 kW not to be inconvenient to other home activities and we get a 1 hour time. Probably that will help with heat management too.

But 50x100 is not particularly large (think of bed linen) and yet it could take a lot of space in a house. Maybe some small area handheld device that one can apply to stains and leave it there until it turns off with a timer?

Another way to frame the same observation that I like goes:

"A magician, asked how he comes up with his magical tricks, asks back: are human rational or irrational? It's a trick question, we are rationalizers. We make up our minds, and then come up with a reason why that's right.

Magical trick is all about understanding this dynamic and guiding the reasoning to the conclusion you want it to make"

> Most of the people that hang out in normie social networks "touch grass" a lot more frequently than the types that hang out on text forums

It's missing the point to compare two types of people. You need to compare the so-called "normies" before and after. The statistics show that everyone is spending less time in-person socializing and more time online.

YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc., have millions or billions of users, and it's not the blog-loving old-school techies who are spending endless hours on them.

>And that still does not justify the death of any of them.

Surely everyone is the physical cause of everything that results his action or inaction? We differentiate the world through all the interactions and then we get some langrange multipliers and whatnot, or we do it more carefully taking non-linear effects into account to still get some notion of responsibility.

Surely these people you mention are in fact responsible, and surely that should make them targets in case they increase deaths, destroy people's potential etc?
by evermike | 2025-09-12 11:33:37+00:00
Yes, I see what you mean. In our main product, where billing is per seat and we work with somewhat small-med biz, the subscription form after the trial asks how many seats you want to pay for. It’s possible to choose more seats than the number of users at that moment, which means those seats can be filled later without extra charges/invoices.

From time to time, we see cases where a single user signs up but purchases 20–50 seats for a year upfront. That’s still always surprising me in a good sense.

The whole topic of seats could actually be a separate discussion on its own, 'cause there are many nuances, good/bad approached and funny situations we’ve run into along the way ))

I work with a development team who manages data integration and migration for massive datasets, and they have sensibly set a standard that every date/time value they store in their databases will be UTC.

But they explicitly or implicitly have also decided not to store the timezone in the strings, so every single value is technically ambiguous. Absolutely drives me crazy.

Update: since there have been questions, these are strings, not native datetime values.

Considering the need for LLM boilerplate coding as a language and tooling failure is an interesting observation. It begs the question why there is still such a thing as boilerplate. I mean I understand how programming languages work and why boilerplate is essential, but at the same time LLMs demonstrate that brevity is possible without loss of expressivity or legibility, albeit in a very roundabout and costly way. Perhaps there is a programming paradigm that strikes a balance between these opposites, especially if you're willing to spend more computational resources on it than traditional compilation (but with a complexity ceiling orders of magnitude lower than LLMs).

Agree completely with you, but most of the time this isn't people being altruistic.

It's people spraying bullshit at maintainers to try and score "CVE IDs as trophies" for their résumé or payouts from the vendor-backed Internet Bug Bounty (IBB) program on HackerOne.

Why ?

In the 60s we thought we'd be living on the moon and mars "soon", flying cars were talked about seriously, that faster than sound jetliners were just around the corner, &c. Sometimes what's possible isn't desirable, or what's desirable isn't possible. No one went back on the moon, space programs are basically dead, planes are still as slow as they were in the 50s, a 747-8 from 2008 isn't much faster than a 707 from 1956

Ignoring the growing list of humanitarian/aid organisations and genocide scholars that have asserted that a genocide is taking place, how would you categorize Israel's actions against the civilian population of Gaza? The forced displacement of virtually the entire population, the restrictions on food and supplies entering the area, the siege by land, sea and air. Open up Google Earth and compare September 2023 to December 2024, to witness the destruction, in whole or in part, of a people.

There are many misleading claims based on wrong assumptions and plain falsehoods in your post.

> What I don't want is for the protocols that allow for apple's seamlesness to be opened to cheap trash.

Why not? Is there any objective reason for that?

> If Apple is forced to make it open to manufacturers of cheap trash and support it for manfacturers of cheap trash

What are you even talking about? No one is suggesting that Apple should be supporting other manufacturers' products in a sense that it should be Apple's responsibility to make sure that they work.

This discussion is about interoperability. The only ask is to do things in a standardized way. So that other manufacturers can develop interoperable products, if they so like.

I am surprised to see those discussions w/o a single mention of roon. As a music lover, roon is a software I've happily paid 100 of $ for.

While not OSS, roon 1) can run on linux 2) supports large local libraries (I have > 2k albums in FLAC, and it supports much more) 3) have roon arc that allows you to listen from phone anywhere 4) has a very good system to link metadata and recommendation within your library.

The metadata support is truly wonderful, you can easily browse your music like wikipedia, can find music per composer, performer, discover related musicians, etc. I strongly recommend people serious about music to try it out.

I've happily replaced spotify with it a few years ago, and will never go back.

Tailwind uses it.

Considering how many people rely on a tailwind watcher to be running on all of their CSS updates, you may find that bun is used daily by millions.

We use Bun for one of our servers. We are small, but we are not goofing around. I would not recommend them yet for anything but where they have a clear advantage - but there are areas where it is noticeably faster or easier to setup.

So my daughter is loving the LEGO Friends builds, she spends hours building and playing with them. The other day she wished (asked…) for a robot in the shape of an animal that could replace her teddy.

Maybe is not LEGO but another brand?

Apple's done it since 2020. Intel was planning to, but walked it back. It dramatically increases performance, and allows vendors to sell you RAM at 8x the market price, and requires you to replace your entire computer to upgrade it, thereby inducing you to overspend on RAM from the outset so that you don't have to spend even more to replace the entire system later.

There's literally no reason for shareholders not to demand this from every computer manufacturer. Pay up, piggie.
