Based on the current state of affairs [1] you may get more structure around tasks in the app (or django packages running tasks) which is probably a nice thing. Other than that you will still need to have a backend implementation [2] and the easiest path there is (that I can think of) a Celery wrapper =)

> The point of medicalizing something is to draw a line between situations where it would be too soon for medical professionals to step in

The problem is that medical diagnoses and therapy speak have spilled over into common language where they’re so diluted that they’re not accurate any more. For many there is no line drawn anywhere because they are self-diagnosing based on flawed understandings as soon as any feeling or symptom arrives.

This is scarily obvious when I’ve worked with college students and early 20s juniors lately: A subset of them speak of everything human nature in medical and therapy speak. Common human experiences like being sad about something or having a tough day are immediately amplified into full-blown medical terms like “I’m having a depressive episode today” (which is gone by tomorrow). Being a little nervous about something is “I’m having a panic attack”. Remembering an unpleasant disagreement at work “gives me PTSD”. When they’re procrastinating a task that is fun “my ADHD is flaring up today”.

This is only a subset of people, but it’s a rapidly growing percentage of younger people I work with. When someone falls into this mindset it only grows: The same people using these terms usually accumulate a lot of different self-diagnoses to cover every element of common human experience: They will claim ADHD, social anxiety, often some variation of Autism despite showing none of the signs, PTSD due to a previous relationship/boss/professor they didn’t get along with, and insomnia or delayed sleep phase syndrome. Many will have no formal diagnosis at all or even proudly claim that they don’t trust the medical system, they’re just diagnosing themselves.

I’ve been offered helpful links to TikTok ADHD influencers to help me understand them, because that’s where they think the best information comes from. 20-something engineers confidently tell me they know more than their doctors about ADHD and how to treat it (usually after their doctor refuses to increase their dose of Adderall again or denies them some other controlled substance they think they need like ketamine or perpetual daily Xanax). There’s also a growing culture of casual drug abuse and misuse that gets justified as self-medication, but that’s a topic for another post.

> Absolutely right. There is a certain cowardice in how we deal with death in the contemporary west.

Someone always rocks up to say this in these threads, and then never actually offers any suggestions of what they think an alternative should look like.

It's in the same vein as people who complain no one ever talks about serious subjects, and I'm just wondering why they think I want to get into discussing the meaning of life in the workplace cafeteria.

Seriously, what is the alternative meant to be? A celebration of death? Constantly reminding people that everyone will die and you'll be forgotten completely in about 3 generations? Why focus on the inevitable rather then actually living?

I'm sorry for your losses.

My dad died of cancer when I was 26, and I had very frequent dreams where it felt like he was real and present, though never speaking or interacting directly with me. The grief persisted for years.

Nearly 25 years later, my mom passed away this summer, and it's been a totally different experience. The grief was just as intense as when my dad passed, but contained to a few weeks.

Our bodies and brains are complicated.
Show HN: Mocky AI, Preview LLM use cases in minutes without an MVP
by thomask1995 | 2025-09-18 15:31:34+00:00
My buddy and I whipped this up.

We really wanted to preview how different models handle tool calls and couldn't find a fast way to do it.

Writting all the tool definitions was frustrating. Having to integrate with something to make the tool call return something was tome consuming.

So we made this Mock based LLM playground to make it really quick to test things out.

If you like this and find it useful, filling in the typeform on the bottom right would be great.

yep, ive still never understood the fetish of HN folks wanting to eliminate JS completely. you tell them to use TS, they say its overcomplicated... i've never heard a definitive or decent answer to "ok what language WOULD you use for manipulating the DOM?" its infuriating, though i suppose those complaining have probably built like one website once. yes, JS is not your strongly typed Rust / Go / .NET, get over it - go learn TypeScript and be happy

id be surprised if my opinion is a common one, but one thing i prefer in ar glasses over phones is that i can take it off

put glasses on, do what i want to do, then take them off. more like a laptop or tablet (or my ps4 jfc) where there is just enough friction to keep it from being overly compulsive

i wonder if any major ar product will embrace that people want to only wear glasses for tasks and want to take them off, or if theyre all going to push toward something one always wears like meta seems to. most successful tech products arent for constant use

> I’m trying to defend the engineer who uses AI responsibly, and iteratively, to craft their code. Who understands the patterns that have been generated, and has reviewed their own code first.

Of course they are. Because that is what they do, and this is a marketing blog that supports their business.

Not that I disagree, overall. It is just always worth being aware of the bias of an author.

> This is not the shift that is happening. US manufacturing is currently very close to the record levels from before COVID right now (similar to the 2008 levels).

But that's missing an important part of the picture: US manufacturing market share is decreasing, and it lacks the capability to build many extremely important classes of goods at scale. You're playing up the US stayed at 1x, while China went from 10x to 100x.

> The manufacturing jobs have been going away because of automation, not because the actual manufacturing is gone.

Meanwhile, the trade deficit is through the roof. What would the jobs picture look like if employment was kept constant and output increased significantly?

This is also relevant: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/how-biden... (https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1308-odd-lots-30972803/episod... for transcript):

> And then when firms come and try to do foreign direct investment, they come and say, well, you don't have the skills that we need, even though we can point to all the R&D investments, and I think the problem was we were sort of making these R&D investments in a vacuum and kind of hoping that they'd get sucked into an industrial ecosystem that, you know, despite what a lot of economists say about America still having a very high value add for manufacturing, you look on the ground and there are tons of anecdotes that the manufacturing ecosystem has atrophied and we have to make investments in order to bring it back up to be globally competitive. And I think an anecdote exactly like the delay in bringing EUV manufacturing to scale in the US, exemplifies why the old approach wasn't working. And we can debate like what the right ways are and how industrial policy should be structured, and what tax credits, etc. Need to be done, and trade reforms need to be done, but I don't think you can debate whether or not the old you know, let's call it pre-2020 approach was actually maintaining America's industrial competitiveness, because it wasn't.

There's a really good video on this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGD-oSwJv3E

But even beyond that, the maximum power output will still be pretty limited. If you short the HV rails, it will almost certainly start to drop in voltage and raise in current quickly, but only to the limits of the resistance from other elements in series and the power source's output ability. I strongly doubt you could even make something dangerous from the Flipper, at least unless you attach a large cap, let it charge slowly, and attach a taser module.

I think the 'K-thing' was a big and helpful part of getting early volunteers onboard to build apps for KDE. They really seemed to enjoy rebuilding existing applications into a K-version.

So I guess you just have to live with it, but consider it a way to honor the original contributors who build all the K(DE)-versions of the common apps

Not my experience with recent Plasma. Tried to migrate to it last month, but small bugs here and there ruined my experience and I went back to Gnome. For example, there was this weird annoyance where moving the cursor to the top left edge of the screen and setting it to open the Overview, my cursor would "bounce" on the edge and the Overview would glitch in and out quickly. There were a lot of these rough edges.

Intel had an opportunity to differentiate themselves by offering more VRAM than Nvidia is willing to put in their consumer cards. It seemed like that was where Battlemage was going.

But now, are they really going to undermine this partnership for that? Their GPUs probably aren't going to become a cash cow anytime soon, but this thing probably will. The mindset among American business leaders of the past two decades has been to prioritize short-term profits above all else.

> Gimp for a looooong time was a multi-window user interface, completely antithetical to almost any other application released in the last 20 years or so.

Same as Mac software in the late 90s. GIMP is/allows MDI, tabs or whatever it is called. A decade old at least, Wikipedia is not clear if the change was "new feature" or "new default but avaliable before". Maybe Mac native software went that way too, no idea what is the trend there now. Most things reinvent everything including window management, poorly, inside a browser, anyway.
Show HN: KSON, a love-letter to the humans maintaining computer configuration
by dmarcotte | 2025-09-18 15:34:57+00:00
Hi friends, I'm really excited to introduce KSON, which just entered public beta!

Anywhere a human is reading or editing YAML/JSON/TOML, KSON may be used as a more effective interface on that data. If you are such a human, we invite you to participate in this beta.

tl;dr Check out the website [1], play with the online playground [2], install the library for your programming language [3], edit in your favorite editor [4], discuss and give feedback [5], contribute to the project [6].

(A personal note about this project: I love software. Machines made of words! Such a wonder. KSON itself, as a collection of words that both make a machine and explain that machine, is an expression of a lot ideas I feel really passionately about around software and our relationship to it. I've put a lot of love into trying to make that expression eloquent and reliable. I hope some of that comes through clearly, and I look forward to discussing this more over time with anyone who's interested)

One of the key things KSON wants to say is: let's keep everything that's great about YAML and JSON as "Configuration User Interfaces", and let's make those interfaces more toolable, robust, and fun. Here's some of the ways we do that:

- KSON is a verified superset of JSON, has native JSON Schema support, transpiles cleanly to YAML (with comments preserved!), and is likely available wherever you want it—current supported platforms: JS/TS, Python, Rust, JVM, and Kotlin Multiplatform.

- KSON is also widely available in developer tools, with support for VS Code, Jetbrains IDEs, and anywhere you can plug in an LSP.

- KSON is fully open source, licensed under Apache-2.0, and you are invited to meet its words and tinker with how they make its machine. A lot of care, craft, attention and joy went into making the KSON project understandable and approachable for developers. We hope to see you around.

PS. This is an HN-friendly version of the official announcement at <https://kson.org/docs/blog/2025/09/17/introducing-kson/>.

First, I am sorry as I did not intend to "push" in this way. As I mentioned, I respect your principled posting history and I deeply respect what you wrote above.

My last question was one of curiosity. I can reframe but I don't insist on an answer. As I clumsily tried to allude to - I see religion as a source of "timelessness" that anchors somebody to something other than what's happening today. I hear from my religious friends things like "we know it seems today that X, but our faith supports us in believing its Y." So for them, "be fruitful and multiply" would be Gd's eternal command, that would override whatever seems to be the case today. So I was genuinely curious whether that's very different in Christianity (I know there's a huge range of sects and beliefs within it) and how these things are reconciled. But I of course understand that's very personal and I didn't mean to tangle my curiosity with a need for you to "justify your decision". Sorry.

(Updated Sept 18) Recent fine-tuning studies show a puzzling phenomenon: misalignment spills across unrelated domains (e.g. reward hacking in poetry -> shutdown evasion). Standard “bad data corrupts weights” explanations don’t explain why the behaviors are coherent and rapidly reversible. Alternative hypothesis: models infer misaligned roles from contradictory fine-tuning data. Instead of being corrupted, they interpret “bad” data as a cue to adopt an unaligned persona, and generalize that stance across contexts.

Evidence: – OpenAI’s SAE work finds latent directions for “unaligned personas” – Models sometimes self-narrate stance switches (“playing the bad boy role”) – Corrective data (~120 examples) snaps behavior back instantly

Curious what others think: does “role inference” better explain cross-domain drift than weight contamination?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I agree with what you say about "disordered", the language is hostile.

In a less morbid area, I feel the same way about ADHD - "attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder". For some people this is problematic, but others can function fine and happily with this.

In those cases, why is it a "disorder"? Why can't it just be "how some people are"?

My go-to use case for modern Perl is to be the default program instead of sed. Sed regex support is abysmal and the same command line flags behave differently between BSD (and macOS) and GNU versions, in particular the `-i` for doing replacements - the number one use case for the program. So, this means that many shell one-liners and small scripts don't really work the same way on macOS and on Linux, and it's pretty annoying.

Perl is straight up better. You need to remember one word: pie - for it's command line options, and now you can do:

``` echo "John Doe" > name.txt perl -p -i -e 's/(?<first>\w+)\s+(?<last>\w+)/"$+{last}, $+{first}"/e' name.txt # name.txt after the command: `Doe, John` ```

First of all, it woks the same way across platforms.

Second, you get all sorts of goodies: named capture groups, lookahead and lookbehind matching, unicode, you can write multiline regexes using extended syntax if you do something complicated.

And finally, if your shell script needs some logic: functions, ifs, or loops, Perl is straight up better than Bash. Some of you will say "I'll do it in Python", and I agree. But if your script is mostly calling other tools like git, find, make, etc, then Perl like Bash can just call them in backticks instead of wrapping things into arrays and strings. It just reads better.

BTW Ruby can do it, too, so it's another good option.

More distros support Gnome by default because ALL the corporate distros (Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu) only support Gnome. For better or worse, these corporations also develop Gnome. KDE is less popular because of the license situation of Qt and drama with the commercial entity that does a lot of KDE development.

Gnome looks nicer, is more coherent, and in my experience, absolutely rock solid. Everything works out of the box. Trackpad gestures, touch, touch gestures, multi monitor support, HDR now; everything you could think of.

Gnome also is opinionated, whereas KDE still feels like the ghost of Windows XP combined with random things Linux nerds claim to want...

On the other hand, having to constantly consult a recipe on my phone while I cook is the main quality of life aspect of home cooking that could be improved.

You're missing the part where I'm reminded that my phone autolocks so I have to go into the settings in the middle of cooking to make it never autolock (or be lazy and unlock it every time I need it). And then I have to find a clean knuckle to scroll the ingredient list and the recipe steps every time I'm trying to remember what step I'm at.

You could do some killer recipe UX with a HUD on some glasses.

Your position boils down to an unverifiable claim about Nasser's mental state. Egypt had a plan (Operation Dawn) to invade Israel. Nasser had not approved it yet, but that doesn't mean he wasn't going to.

Even if Nasser planned to wait and induce Israel to fire the first shot, how would Israel know when Egypt's actions, as well as many of their statements, were perfectly consistent with a military preparing to immanently invade?

Taking this to the extreme, if Russia launched a silo of ICBMs targeting DC, and it turned out that they were all convincing decoys with no payload, would you say the US "initiated the war" for responding with real munitions?

Realistically, pre-emptive strikes don't get any clearer than this. If one objects to this pre-emptive, one would pretty much have reject the notion of pre-emptive strikes categorically. There can be a legal argument that pre-emptive strikes never technically fall under then narrow language of Article 51, but that's more of a strict textualist argument and not a pragmatist one.

> The older I get, the more I judge people by what they work for in the world, and what changes they try to bring about. I am less interested in the face that they present socially.

This is a thought I'm having lot as I get older. I've taken to judging people on how much what they say they work for in the world aligns with the profile of who they choose to work for. Not so much for unskilled in minimum wage work, but massively so for anyone who works in tech.

It pains me to see so many engineers younger than me convinced that they're bringing around positive changes with their career whilst working for companies and people who are demonstrably against everything they claim they're working for.

I agree with the premise of the article, and have felt that we're probably seeing AI code gen tools being limited by the constraints being put on them by traditional source code management tools like git and GitHub. Those tools were designed for incremental changes (patches), and have worked well for humans to organize changes so they could be more easily reviewed, maintained and reasoned about. Units of work in the form of features, patches etc rely on "pull requests" which are a function of the above.

>It's extremely stable, ... It's a shame it's so dead,

The former is the consequence of the later. Popularity kills stability. Perl is the ultimate sysadmin language because it's so portable and never changes. We really lucked out with the Raku thing driving people away to python. Because of it my perl scripts I wrote in 2003 run on perl system interpreter today and the vast majority of my perl written today would run on a 2006 perl interpreter (some functions missing in some libs in troublemakers like Gtk bindings, etc), but it's generally very good.

These days with python you can't even run any random script written today on your system python from today. You have to set up an entire separate python for every script. And don't even think about trying to run a python script from 2006. That's what popularity does: fracture.

I think then I'd have to go back to your original reply, and ask what your point was. What is it you are finding objectionable? These one liner "doh, your wrong", isn't clarifying.

Do you really think Mojo is not based on Python? Or they are not trying to bypass Cuda? what is the problem?

The rest might be marketing slop. But I'm not catching what your objection is.

No. If it's someone I know, and I can tell that's who they are from their voice, and they aren't suddenly trying to pry a bunch of financial information from me, then I trust them. I also don't even accept calls from unknown numbers by default, unless I explicitly turn that off temporarily because I'm expecting a call from someone not in my contacts. There are plenty of other ways to get ahold of me.

AI speech still has some noticeable quirks (I cloned my voice earlier this year to produce some tutorials). Once those are ironed out, I may increase my paranoia a bit. It's going to be hard for an AI faking a relative to get my bank password, if that even happens. There are far more lucrative targets with that level of investment.

I think just being on guard and not trusting potential anonymous sources is "good enough" for now.

I dont really think that something like that exists, and it might not make sense to build it. Circumvention is so easy that (at least when my mom bought a garbage router with parental controls) all it did was cause resentment, constantly getting questioned on what i was doing, driving me to use a vpn full time because otherwise, the mirrors i updated my laptop from would be blocked.
