> no one knows how much a company is truly worth until it goes on the public market

Nobody ever knows what a company is worth other than the people buying and selling it in an M&A transaction at that precise moment. Public markets just have more transactions than private markets—the mechanism of price discovery is similar, if not the same.

> if all of the private companies “worth billions” went under, only VCs would be harmed

I’d be shocked if it didn’t take out the banking system.

You’re describing the annihilation of trillions of dollars of pension, endowment and retirement wealth; to say nothing of the effects on municipal, state and federal payroll finances; to say nothing of the asset-backed loans tied to these assets and purchases they make from public companies and their employees’ spending.

https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-oauth-provider

This library (including the schema documentation) was largely written with the help of Claude, the AI model by Anthropic. Claude's output was thoroughly reviewed by Cloudflare engineers with careful attention paid to security and compliance with standards. Many improvements were made on the initial output, mostly again by prompting Claude (and reviewing the results). Check out the commit history to see how Claude was prompted and what code it produced.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!! You can't just use an LLM to write an auth library!"

"haha gpus go brrr"

In all seriousness, two months ago (January 2025), I (@kentonv) would have agreed. I was an AI skeptic. I thought LLMs were glorified Markov chain generators that didn't actually understand code and couldn't produce anything novel. I started this project on a lark, fully expecting the AI to produce terrible code for me to laugh at. And then, uh... the code actually looked pretty good. Not perfect, but I just told the AI to fix things, and it did. I was shocked.

To emphasize, this is not "vibe coded". Every line was thoroughly reviewed and cross-referenced with relevant RFCs, by security experts with previous experience with those RFCs. I was trying to validate my skepticism. I ended up proving myself wrong.

Again, please check out the commit history -- especially early commits -- to understand how this went.

This but unironically. The funniest product in Apple's lineup right now, bar none, is the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. Apple spent 15 years refining their replacement for the laptop, and it's a touchscreen laptop that runs less software.

You'd think that Apple would stop themselves after reinventing the 2013 Microsoft Surface. Then they reprised Hololens with Vision Pro - how was nobody paying attention to Microsoft's failures at Cupertino?

Given that Apple already maintains a comprehensive entitlement system[0] they charge EU developers[1] to use, I don't see how that's an issue. Apple's work amounts to swapping out a .plist file, they could be compliant in 10 minutes with an OTA update. If they wanted.

If that’s the case, we have an even bigger problem on our hands. How will these companies ever be profitable?

If we’re already paying $20/mo and they’re operating at a loss, what’s the next move (assuming we’re only worth an extra $300/yr with ads?)

The math doesn’t add up, unless we stop training new models and degrade the ones currently in production, or have some compute breakthrough that makes hardware + operating costs an order of magnitudes cheaper.

The government hatched a large part of the plot, it seems though, then roped a bunch of people into court who jurors found not guilty.

I think it impossible to know who came up with the mere idea first. You'd have to prove a negative that no one else did which seems impossible. So the assertion regarding Musico is questionable, at best you could assert he did utter the idea at some point.

>eems like exactly the reason the feds would have to allow the conspiracy to develop

You're speaking of alternate reality. Fed assets trained , funded, planned, and encouraged it. They weren't 'allowing it' -- they were actively creating it. No i dont condone that.

I feel like answering this comment could start a possible argument, which I have no interest in doing.

I do, however, want to point that anyone interested in comparing language design choices can conclude by themselves this is likely a strong factor.

You can find references like the classic "PHP: a fractal of bad design"[1] which not only talks about the language itself but SQL injection, error handling and tons of other issues. It summarizes most of the important points.

I can also add a few issues like[2][3], which unfortunately are not isolated incidents: these are a reflection of core design decisions and how the language approaches software design as a whole.

I stand by my point, which I'll define more precisely as:

"A badly-designed language either makes it hard for developers to do good choices, or makes it easy for developers to do bad choices."

PHP is not alone, but it is a prime example of this.

You can disagree with this assessment - and that's OK.

The minimum wage is often not a fair wage.

If tipped employees are just earning that standard minimum wage and nobody tips them, then they just get the minimum wage. I can see situations where they'd be pretty mad -- there are a lot of restaurants where tipped employees make more than the standard minimum wage.

All of that said, I believe that tipping is horseshit and should go away. But I can't protest it by refusing to tip unless I want to punish the wrong people.

Even these examples aren't perfect.

The "Photos of Yourself in Different Eras" one said "Don't change the character's face" but the face was totally changed. "Case 21: OOTD Outfit" used the wrong camera. "Virtual Makeup Try-On" messed up the make up. "Lighting Control" messed up the lighting, the joker minifig is literally just SH0133 (https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=sh0133), "Design a Chess Set" says you don't need an input image, but the prompt said to base it off of a picture that wasn't included and the output is pretty questionable (WTF is with those pawns!), etc.

I mean, it's still pretty neat, and could be useful for people without access to photoshop or to get someone started on a project to finish up by hand.

> It’s assumed that you thought the iPhone was capturing the audio.

Absolutely not. It assumed the AirPods Pro 2 unique processing was required which it clearly isn’t.

Nobody ever talked about saving money.

The whole discussion is about the EU mandating Apple play fair which would mean letting competitors access their phone processing exactly like Google is already doing.

Their argument is false equivalence. You can’t just say “if you’re saying X is negative, you must believe that Y is negative because some of the negatives could be conceptually similar.” A good faith cost benefit analysis would rank both the cost and risks of an extremely accurate, cheap, on-demand commercial image generation service and an entirely open asynchronous worldwide text communication protocol, in different universes.

It'd be really easy, in JS you can override anything on the document or window.

You're not supposed to and everyone is in a gentleman's agreement not to, but you could if you really wanted to.

For example, the following code:

console.log("Foo");

console.log("Bar");

console.log("Baz");

Prints out the following to the console:

> Foo

> Bar

> Baz

But if I was to run this code first:

const originalLog = console.log; let logCounter = 0; console.log = function log(str) { logCounter++; originalLog(`${logCounter}: ${str}`); }

Then the original code will now output:

> 1: Foo

> 2: Bar

> 3: Baz

So if you wanted to stop people messing with keystroke/input/change/etc events, you could:

1. make backup variables that reference the original addEventListener, onChange, onTouch, onInput, etc... functions

2. make up your own man-in-the-middle functions that inspect the events getting passed to them

3. if you want the event passed to your man-in-the-middle function to go through, just pass it to your backup variable that points to the original function

4. and if you don't want it to go through, then just don't call the original function.

I'm sorry, is Palantir a self-sustaining AI with zero human employees?

Or is it a corporation of people that is (I know, try to stifle the laughter) supposed to have at least some morality? I get it. Corporations haven't functioned as any institutional morality since their inception as a legal framework, despite the Supreme Court handing them immortal citizenship with effective privilege over any real citizen.

So far we have:

- masked paramilitary agents chasing down the lowest rungs of "at first they came for ..."

- deployed formal military to democratic cities for intimidation

- cowering, terrified tech CEOs embarrassingly kissing ass

- Threatened, capitulated universities, law firms, and fourth estate tv companies

- Massive amounts of purging of civilian institutions from any oversight

- Purging of military leadership based solely on blind loyalty to the president

- Massive fraud leading to multibillion dollar increase in Trumps wealth

- A supreme court that may as well have been disbanded that has handed unlimited privilege to Trump's executive branch

And waiting in the wings is Palantir-enabled TOTAL INFORMATION AWARENESS of the entire populace.

So back to Palantir, the absolved "just a tech firm" that has been providing turnkey authoritarian control to the US government for decades now. Of course it won't function as any bulwark against the coming storm.

Oh, I think I understand Palantir very well. Anyone that works there should know that you exist to set up totalitarianism. That is your function now. "Homeland defense" and all those weak USA PATRIOT act justifications and funding are now far in the rear view mirror.

Up ahead: Mount Totalitarianism.

Cloak yourself in doublespeak, Palantir.

I have likely marked myself for death.

> Every greenback they print makes 90% of us a little poorer, and conversely makes the capital holders richer.

Who is "they"? No, really: how do you think "money" is actually created? Because it's not central banks like the Fed that does it:

* https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/explainers/how-is-money-crea...

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1905625

Further, inflation helps people in debt because past-dollars-depreciated loan values are paid off with current/future-wage-inflation-adjusted salaries.

Also, without inflation the rich could sit on literal cash (Scrouge McDuck style) and have it hold value (or gain value with deflation), which is not a good thing:

> No currency should be able to buy the same basket of goods over very long timespans through hoarding. If you want to retain the purchasing power of your money, it should participate in society via investment.

> You can't get WMDs at all so the price part is irrelevant.

How many deaths per minute do you consider the minimum to qualify as a WMD? There are probably several firearms legally available that can meet it.

> That's also a cherry-picking way to interpret that line.

See my other post beneath this grandparent. It's long, but a bit more nuanaced.

It's objectively clear what the founding fathers meant, and it wasn't "lunatics should be able to buy guns without a drug test first" as the NRA seems to think.

(I’m an EU-based user of Apple products) I see your point. However, Apple already provides a translation API[0], a speech recognition API[1], and a Text2Speech API[2], so not a lot more is needed than the API you describe. Also note that, while I have not looked into that thoroughly, it seems the kind of API you are discussing shares many similarities with the features of the Apple Vision Pro SDK (real time computation introducing new constraints…)

I think this situation also shows a strong divide between two visions of Apple end-game (and I think both exist within the company): exposing those APIs makes the Apple ecosystem better as a whole, with its satellite accessories/app developers; while keeping them private gives them an edge as a hardware selling company. Personally, I prefer when Apple embraces its gatekeeper status.

The Ghost Ship was massive news - it was the deadliest fire in Oakland’s history and the deadliest fire in the US since the Great White show at The Station in 2003. It had big impacts on everyone who threw renegade parties as it changed the liability from civil only to criminal against the master tenant and civil against both the city and the utility.

Finally, East Bay is a very common term, even encompassing a well known guitar player. Would you consider that if you’re not familiar with that term, you’re maybe not a very good judge of how common the knowledge of an event is? I’m from nowhere near San Francisco, but both East Bay and Ghost Ship are front of mind for me.

Palantir is still a tumor. We don't need people profiting off database joins, Oracle did that and became the most hated company on the planet. If the surveillance industry ends up resembling the other "rice bowl" military contractors, American taxpayers will suffer most. It will inevitably become a cost treadmill with infinite billable hours, Congress has seen this happen hundreds of times.

In truth, the rest of your arguement is fully correct. Palantir is often portrayed as the "hacking American businesses" group, but that's NSO. Palantir is merely buying out the data from morally-flexible telecoms and capricious cookie-laden websites. There is an uncomfortable truth about networked technology that America has swept under the rug for decades, and now we have entire businesses as a symptom of that failure. It's a sickening precedent for a free society.

I'd like to believe in a political solution to this. I've yet to see one, and the consequences of the Snowden leaks suggest we may never correct course here in America.

But you can find joy at things you envision, or laugh, or be horrified. The mental ability is surely impressive, but having a reason to do it and feeling something at the result is special.

"To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower..."

We - humans - have reasons to be. We get to look at a sunset and think about the scattering of light and different frequencies and how it causes the different colors. But we can also just enjoy the beauty of it.

For me, every moment is magical when I take the time to let it be so. Heck, for there to even be a me responding to a you and all of the things that had to happen for Hacker News to be here. It's pretty incredible. To me anyway.

> It reached the US, ...

Behind that phrase is a whole story in itself, covered in the book "Wizards of Oz How Oliphant and Florey helped win the war and shape the modern world" by Brett Mason.

Mark Oliphant was heading a lab and tasked Otto Frisch and Rodolf Perierls with figuring out whether an atomic bomb was possible, as they were not cleared to work on radar. They concluded it was possible and wrote a two part memorandum: 'On the Construction of a "Super bomb"; based on a Nuclear Chain Reaction in Uranium' and 'Memorandum on the Properties of a Radioactive "Super-bomb"' [1,2]

Oliphant sent this report up the chain and it lead to the formation of the MAUD committee in the UK. The UK didn't have the resources to build an atomic bomb, so what was known was sent to the US. Oliphant hopped on a plane and did a tour of the US, doing technology transfer, mainly for radar, but also for an atomic bomb. Most people in the US ignored the MAUD report and Oliphant could not get traction on the atomic side. In desperation Oliphant breached security and briefed Ernest Lawrence who at the time was not cleared, also providing him with a summary of the MAUD report. Robert Oppenheimer joined the discussion between Oliphant and Lawrence. Lawrence phoned Arthur Compton in Chicago. From there the USA listened.

I got "Error Progress bar not found" visiting your https://pbar.io/Y8yg3BG link. However, there are no comments yet, so that might explain it. So this is a service you provide.

I must admit that idea behind this project is nice, but I'm not going to get dependent on someone else's infrastructure (and I think I'm not the only one thinking that way), can I host it myself or is the source not available? I don't see any links to sources or github, so decided to just ask here (and to also make the 1st comment here to see if your link would work now).

It is. Polls are not necessary. One needs simply to observe how these judges act to arrive at this conclusion.

The judges responsible for finding Bolsonaro guilty went out of their way to censor him and his supporters prior to the 2022 election. Literally unconstitutional censorship. They're the supreme court, nobody can stop them even when they violate the nation's highest laws.

It's a literal crime for these judges to engage in political and partidarian actions. Does that stop them? No. After doing literaly everything they could to put Lula in power, they went on to brag about it in public. We defeated Bolsonarism, one of them said.

Now these same judges condemn Bolsonaro, just like they condemned thousands of civilians over what was little more than a protest. Leftists once set fire to the exact same buildings but now it's a coup attempt.

Among the judges we find such impartial characters as the current president's former lawyer and a proud self-admitted communist.

This guy's sentence was pre-determined. He was guilty from the start. This circus was merely for show.

Yes but root still exists in phones just like it does in servers. It's just not accessible by the user. The OS does run processes as root and it needs it for things like updates.

Also, the user having root access doesn't mean that every process they run has root rights. For rooted phones there's apps to control what it's used for. Anything else just runs with the limited rights as before.

Of course those 'sudo' apps would be an attack vector but a pretty niche one.

"Threat to democracy" is definitely broad (but not "extraordinary"), and reasonable people can disagree with specific accusations. That's not my point. My point is simply that you can't simultaneously say "calling something a threat to democracy is an incitement of violence against them" and "the phrase 'threat to democracy' doesn't even mean anything."

I personally think that the accusation is not "incitement of violence" and that the phrase does have a meaning, and thus an accusation can be either true or false. I think reasonable people can disagree on certain accusations, while other accusations cannot be reasonably disputed.

As an aside, I have no idea where you came up with the "you and others here" business about electoral fraud. That's a wild thing to pull out of thin air.

Apple is using the conservative approach, which is to misrepresent their starting position by moving the goal posts to an extreme. Then they bargain towards the "middle". It creates the illusion of bargaining.

So Apple is throwing a huge tantrum and withholding features from the EU to act like this is a much bigger deal than it is. This gives Apple a lot more bargaining room after the EU bitch slapped them.

Apple likely already has an API they could enable and be done with this. They won't do that. Apple needs exclusivity with new feature releases because they don't do things all that well anymore(Siri, maps, etc, nobody uses those because there are better alts available on ios).

But yeah Apple is just starting way to the extreme so they have more room to bargain. Hopefully the EU sees through this, again, and doesn't budge.
