(The above second comment is also edit-locked, but at least at the moment this one isn't, even an hour-plus later, so evidently it wasn't "landīca" that triggered the logic, despite being by far the most offensive term in the whole comment.)

I don't personally have a need for such a thing, but having worked on 'bot blocking' solutions, I think it would be popular.

There is a lot of talk about "browser agents" vs "recursive crawlers", but that discussion misses what site owners want.

Products that use "browser agents" often dis-intermediate the sites they scrape even if they link back. While users may prefer those user experiences, content owners will pay to block that to retain control over their presentation and monetization friction.

Many news sites already have these sorts of captchas, proof of work, behavioral analysis roadblocks. Players like Cloudflare and Tollbit both offer bot blocking proxies as well. This tech is here and service owners want it.

Hey, thanks for the comment! Yes, this is vibe coding for ease of validation with `lovable`. I built Cloud Patient out of frustration with how fragmented medical visit data is. I'm not in the healthcare industry, just someone who's experienced the pain of juggling multiple doctors, clinics, and systems where each one has its own portal, logins, and incomplete records.

The idea was to create a single, simple place where patients can see all their visit history, and doctors can add details without dealing with clunky hospital systems.

Right now, it's very early, more of a proof of concept, so attachments and some features are still being built. The long-term goal is to give patients control and clarity over their health records, rather than having it locked away in a dozen separate systems.

I live in Germany, and here it’s even harder to get access to your own health data. You go in for a visit, they run a bunch of tests, and unless it’s really urgent, like “you have one month to live” urgent, you basically hear nothing.

There’s no easy way to check if you should be watching your cholesterol, blood sugar, or anything else. The information just sits there, locked away, and you’re left guessing.

That’s a big part of why I wanted to build Cloud Patient, to make this kind of information accessible and transparent so patients aren’t left in the dark about their own health.

Thanks for this; I'm still not getting it, I think because I haven't really deployed software at scale before? It's a CI/CD solution?

I can see how this would be instrumental for coordinating hundreds of developers across tens of products, but as someone who's only ever worked as tens of developers on one product it seems like a lot of overhead for really no ROI; what's the difference between using this product and having a DevOps team that coordinates CI/CD in-house? Is Palantir's edge here being the out-of-house devops team for any large enterprise?

A web crawler requires me to program the logics.

The concept does not require me to program the logics, instead it starts reading a seed page, stores information/knowledge breaks it down to doable actions and performs action one by one.

This design allows the information to direct the concept. Where as, in case of web crawler, me/I will have to direct it.

> And then there’s the code that we rely on for bank transactions, package deliveries, medical results, satellite launches, airline flight paths, self-driving cars, mortgage payments, and nuclear power plants. This is durable code, and it’s going to stay that way.

I can tell you from first hand experience that, since long before LLMs were invented, critical software supporting these industries is held together with duct tape and baling wire (and Excel). "Durable" does not mean "good". In my experience production code is often ugly, poorly abstracted, full of special cases and hacks, but most importantly it works.

I'm in the exact same boat. I've started exploring https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode and it seems to be a pretty accurate emulation of Emacs Orgmode, or at least I haven't run into its limitations yet since I'm just starting to explore it. I still haven't solved the sharing of calender/todo info but this page has some ideas that could work to varying degrees: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html

For very similar reasons why the US has the 5th amendment, why blanket surveillance is not considered a good thing by functioning democracies, and why most people want their porn-viewing habits to remain private.

There are plenty of bad things that need to be prevented, but a functioning democracy requires the ability to act outside the surveillance of both your peers, and the currently sitting government.

Meh, it's sunny and nice here, I'll feel pretty good regardless. Living on the beach is underrated! And it's been great connecting a bit more with my wife's family.

Gotta focus on the bright side, and I do love the climate here!

I could do with a little less cartel parties that go on through the night at the neighbours house. They're loud and it's not like I'm gonna go knock on that particular neighbours door, knowing fully well who the guests are...

I think the case for why strong encryption is important is much clearer than why untraceable financial instruments are important and I don't think it's super compelling to argue that these things are actually the same, even if your opposition to government control is the same.

I think it's actually pretty clear that almost all people are not capable of secure and reliable self-custody and would be better off with an intermediary. We're not keeping our fiat currency in a safe under our bed after all.

It's worth noting that a great deal of the high depends on biology. Some human beings produce high quantities of endorphins under muscular strain. Others don't. Not everyone gets the same high, and some people may not get high at all. It's the same from eating peppers, for example. For those that don't get the high, the gym can feel like a slog.

Trying to prevent stupidity by regulations and rules is proving to be problematic: Because we have very successfully prevented stupid from destroying themselves, and let them thrive on the successes of others built (e.g. anti-vaxers are relatively safe thanks to everyone else vaccinating their children, or you can thrive on benefits in the UK which is great when you genuinely tried your best but fail, but terrible when it is motivating you to stop trying).

This fundemantally conflicts with a lesson startup scene learned very early: Fail fast, fail often. Our societies do not fail fast when they make mistakes, thanks to the incredible safety and stability intelligent and sensible people created.

This is preventing people from learning from their idiocies, which in turn allows them to reach to critical mass and forcing their idiocy on the whole society in the form of bullshit or hurtful laws and orders.

We should change this and let idiots fail fast before they become a danger to everyone.

tbh, Apple lost the plot for the iPad with iPadOS 26.

They brought floating windows, a menu bar, and more mouse and keyboard features but then took away the UX that made it a great touch tablet - no more slide over, and no more quick split view you have to drag the windows your self or tap the green dot and then choose your split ratio - too many extra clicks.

They managed to turn it from a great tablet to a shitty laptop to the point that now I don't even see a reason for owning one if you have a macbook air, unless you REALLY need the pencil.

Some times cannot be expressed in UTC.

For example: “this meeting will take place at 10 AM on July 31st, 2026, US Pacific time” cannot be expressed in UTC. You can guess what time UTC that refers to, and you’ll probably be right, but you’ll be wrong if it turns out for example that the US abolishes DST before that date.

The domain "npmjs.help" is pretty clearly malicious at a glance, just from the ".help" TLD alone, but yeah as you say

> Once I had it in my head (erroneously) that .help was fine, nothing else about the attack stood out as suspicious when it came to the URL or domains.

> but the big one is that most people (in the US, anyway) view doctors as a magical priesthood that is worth any cost, to the point that most people don't even know what the cost is.

Most people in the US never see a doctor outside of emergency care because it's too expensive to do so. Price shopping doesn't do shit for the majority because the people that do get healthcare get it from their job and don't have a choice anyways which doctors they can see or not.

> What I mean is that there should be a single interface for Logging that is implemented by slog.Logger, uber/zap.Logger, etc.

There is: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp/slog#Handler

If, say, zap was conformant, you'd slog.New(zap.NewHandler()) or whatever and away you go. It seems the only problem here is that the logging packages you want to use are not following the blessed, idiomatic path.

There are a lot of problem with that approach at scale. That might not matter for your pet projects, but slog also has to serve those who are pushing computers to their limits. Your idea didn't escape anyone.

This would be true if the people that do pay the prices had no influence on your purchasing decision, but the insurers maintain a massive hold on purchase decisions. And in reality, a ton of insured people do pay very directly for their healthcare in deductibles and denied coverage claims.

I have never heard of an insurance policy in the US that allows you to consume as much, and whatever type of healthcare that you want. Quite the opposite is most people's experience. You have to justify any visit to a specialist before going, you don't get to choose the specialist, many times the insurer will simply deny a payment request for care already received. On many plans, you have to spend 5 figures per year before they will even cover anything.

I would love to have had healthcare in America where I was insulated fully from the costs of care. My experience was that it was rare to see a doctor where I wouldn't end p paying at least three figures despite having fantastic insurance.

Meanwhile in Canada, I can recklessly visit three doctors per day for the same issue at no out of pocket cost if I want, and it will still cost my insurer (the province of BC, in my case) less than a single doctor visit 60 miles south of here.

From where I sit, the US, which has an unusually high exposure to the real costs of healthcare among peer states, also has the highest cost of healthcare. That sort of goes directly against what you are saying

the only one that europe supplies to uncompensated military aid to, it's ukraine. to russia it simply gives billions of euros that russia later uses to bomb ukraine

about ratio:

- i'll suggest you to take a look at wiki page of siege mariupol. iirc it's up to 75,000 civilian casualties in 3 months

- ukraine actively evacuates civilians.

- hamas said that that well being of civilians is problem of israel and unrwa and actively using civilians as human shields. here is 10 years old analysis that says that it does so in order to shape western opinion https://stratcomcoe.org/cuploads/pfiles/hamas_human_shields....

- ukrainians from day one of war were allowed to seek refuge in europe

- egypt build second wall on border with gaza over past year in order to prevent any refugees crossing and europe talking about any possibility of evacuation of civilians as of ethnic cleansing.

> most people (in the US, anyway) view doctors as a magical priesthood that is worth any cost.

The alternative is, if you don't incentivize someone financially to spend a decade studying medicine, they won't or they will immigrate to somewhere where they can.

This is what my SO did when leaving Vietnam - her med school tuition was around $6k/yr in a country where median household incomes are $2-3k per year (and more like $1.5k for her parents, being tenant farmers) and she'd end up working for $700-800/mo working 70 hour weeks and best case $2k/mo in 5-7 years. Unsurprisingly, she chose to leave just like the rest of her peers, because you can't even buy a house in a tier 4 city in Vietnam without spending $100k anymore, let alone a HCMC or Hanoi where the jobs are actually located.

Similar story for my cousin in India as well - he's attending a T5 AIIMS and is looking at 10 years of medical education (an MBBS doesn't cut it in 2025 anymore - you need an MD as well now) in order to get a $15k starting salary, but he is also lucky that his parents are both doctors. If he was not from that background he would have probably attempted the USMLE as well and leave.

Both India and Vietnam are seeing a significant medical exodus, as is the UK, South Korea, and other countries where this kind of penny pinching sentiment is rife.

HNers harp about layoffs and offshoring, but seem to only care about stagnating wages for themselves in high wage industries with no barriers to entry, relatively chill work cultures, and no risk of legal liablity.

What do you guys want? Barefoot doctors and aryuvedic treatment?

If Apple did this, and it turns out Apple did tune the model to the extent that it works really well with AirPods and really poorly with any other competitor, would there be any possibility of legal action against Apple (by the competitor or by the EU) on the grounds that the model's training is effectively limiting the functionality?

For example, maybe Apple purposefully trained the model to not only optimizing working with AirPods, but to optimize not working with any other input devices? If Apple could be in trouble if it became known they did such specific training, could it also mean there is the potential for them to have legal issues due the potential for them to have done such?

(I think we can also make a similar argument when it comes to the hardware being made to optimally run one specific model and possible allegations it doesn't run other models as well.)

If the government doesn't crack down on this sort of behavior, a company could use it to try to meet the legal requirements technically while also still hurting competitors. But if the government does crack down on it, then a company could be caught up under an accusation of doing this even if they didn't (they just didn't care to optimize for competitors at all, but never negatively optimized for them either).

Thanks for fixing Styled-Components.

I ditched Emotion, a very similar solution, since it doesn't work with Next’s App Router, and while looking for a replacement (styleX, Griffel, Vanilla Extract…), I discovered that Styled-Components can be compatible with the App Router.

Why stick with Styled-Components? Because I want to write CSS, not JavaScript objects like most alternatives impose. I understand the typing advantages, but the readability loss just isn’t worth it.

I also use classNames, scoped to each component, it works fine. So why would I replace classNames with JavaScript constants? Again, proper CSS syntax is enough.

I was hoping YakJS would be a complete replacement for Styled-Components, but they don’t support classNames & global styles.

I mean, sure, but you lose a ton of learned stuff from books and stuff. You can prompt it how you want, but what most people want are useful results (where useful can be anything from natural tone, fun, accurate, etc.) Unless you can show that this outperforms "regular" prompting, or "please/ty", at the end of the day it's just a prompt.

While that would certainly be a factor, I think I'd argue it's less about where you're from and more about what your interests or experience are.

I actually think the title as it is now has more mass appeal; it's very general and might pique your curiosity if you're interested in either 3-D modelling or paper crafting.

On the other hand if it had the "SR-71 Blackbird" in the title, some readers might shy away due to either not knowing what that is, or thinking "well, I'm not really interested in planes".

Which would be kind of a shame, since I think the post has some nice points to make regardless of whether you're into the SR-71 Blackbird or planes; that's just the example chosen to paint the broader picture.

This leads to some interesting questions. Were the people on the North Korean side working given access to more information about the world than the average citizen?

I would have to imagine they have to know more just to be able to interact normally with other people. I would think at some point in a meeting a casual conversation about current events would come up and if they did not know much about the outside world it would be a very weird (and likely raising some red flags) conversation.

Or were these interactions only ever over text, so no camera or anything which would help obfuscate that. It would also minimize the chance of there being those more causal human conversations.

From what I know, the current rules don't say anything about region locking features like apple is doing. The EU regulations might be slow in reaction time but they are not playing around. You can be sure that they will continually close loopholes and avoidance strategies until Apple (and others) aren't a gatekeeper anymore.

The way Apple and others misuse their market position to get away with anything is ridiculous. At a certain size or influence you shouldn't be both a platform for other companies and products and a participant in that platform while giving yourself all sorts of advantages.

Airpods are decent but they have most of their market share due to the massive integration gap from competitors. So shit it's impossible for anyone to compete.

You apparently don't know what SWE-bench is [1]. First of all, it tries to evaluate skills that explicitly go beyond blank project questions with given solutions. Secondly, it does not contain "optimal" or sometimes even correct solutions. That's because it uses real world software development examples from actual PRs in popular repos. These very likely had humans use all the tools at their disposal as well (e.g. web search, git commands, code execution). Assuming an LLM could have solved these just by looking at a piece of code turns out to be very myopic.

It reads like a bad attempt at trolling. A better version would have been 5-10 paragraphs on why 0-based is better, and then hit the reader with the punchline. Instead, it's a very short piece that jumps straight to their reasoning that they're confused by things every grade schooler understands and so 0-based is better. Which is not a terribly persuasive argument.

If they intended it to be a serious argument for 0-based indexes, they should not have admitted to being less intelligent than most 5-year-olds.

Exactly, but that is my point: usually my data is not intended to reflect the time it is in New York. Being tied to a (semi-)arbitrary city changes the actual meaning of the zone slightly. If every city was represented and I could choose "Boston" then that would make sense (for data is intended to reflect the time it is in Boston) but of course that's not entirely practical.

(I'll note that I agree with the general wisdom to store data in UTC; here when I talk about zones I'm either talking about user local machine time or display)

Neoliberal fiscal policy to underfund public goods has slowly crept into non-American western health systems, the undercutting of the UK NHS as a leading example of a regressor. It makes everything in the system less efficient - increases calls for even less efficient privatization of healthcare. It doesn't save money for an economy except at the most superficial narrow view level of accounting.

This is not terribly surprising. Control of the monetary system is a key responsibility of the US federal government; it was always going to be the case that if Bitcoin became a meaningfully-sized part of the financial system the government would impose regulation.

Now we get to see how enforceable it is (and I suspect it's more enforceable than people wanted to assume... They can jail you indefinitely for refusing to divulge a password if the court finds it is not a violation of your Fifth Amendment rights to divulge it. https://xkcd.com/538/).

Precisely this. For all the (woefully young) science about brain development and maturity, it doesn't seem to stop for quite a while, and my late 20's and early 30's have been the most interesting time of reflection and self-appraisement I've had.

It's becoming clear to me that what we call a "mid-life crisis" is probably just Jung's self-actualization, where a person becomes aware they've been wearing a mask to some degree until then. It seems most people find a way to drop it, stop doing what they don't want, and start doing what they do want. Hence the development of grumpiness, divorces, moving far afield, buying sports cars, becoming ascetics, whatever it is that reflects a truer identity than their young selves that satisfied expectations and chased approval.

I've found that the people I know who naturally reject molds and masks while young and pursue what they want early on don't seem to go through this.

ChatGPT is designed to be addictive, with secondary potential for economic utility. Claude is designed to be economically useful, with secondary potential for addiction. That’s why.

In either case, I’ve turned off memory features in any LLM product I use. Memory features are more corrosive and damaging than useful. With a bit of effort, you can simply maintain a personal library of prompt contexts that you can just manually grab and paste in when needed. This ensures you’re in control and maintains accuracy without context rot or falling back on the extreme distortions that things like ChatGPT memory introduce.
