No, it still doesn't make sense.

And it looks like Rosetta 2 for containers will continue to be supported past macOS 28 just fine. It's Rosetta 2 for Mac apps that's being phased out, and not even all of that (they'll keep it for games that don't need macOs frameworks to be kept around in Intel format).

> Then one day I had actually proper coffee, and I discovered that good coffee isn't just some imperceptably theoretically better version of regular coffee that snobs are basically just faking being sophisticated for show. They are two entirely different things.

I know what you mean, but it's important to be mindful of the fact that enjoying coffee is way more than the quality of the coffee in the cup. I think for most there's a whole ritual around having a coffee which renders the actual coffee a minor detail around everything. You can see this even in coffee brewing snobs, where they use extremely specialized tools and equipment to perform a coffee brewing cerimonies that rival religious ones. Sometimes the coffee itself is just the pretext, but the goal is different.

I haven't had a stroke but I did get a nasty tropical mono when I was young. You never quite recover from that one. I've got ibs since. My stomach just gets tired and stops. My mental focus feels the same. I sleep 9 hours a night, often 10 and I'm still tired.

I feel I always have less stamina than other people.

So this list is close to what I have always preached.

Time as in energy is my most precious resource.

Don't let processes suck the life out of you. They're there to serve the people not the other way around.

Not to criticize your friend, but it isn't as if things following his path is sn inevitable law of nature.

Coincidentally I went from being an Audio consumer to a person that developes audio hard- and software, and mixes music in my spare time and deals with live sound in acoustically challenging rooms in my work (to keep things short, I do/did even more).

While I certainly spent some money on audio equipment, I can't say that you need infinitly expensive stuff to enjoy it. For me it went exactly the opposite way. Where as a teenager I thought you need all that expensive stuff to make and listen to music on a high level, I now know what matters and what doesn't.

There is a point beyond which things don't matter factually, because they are beyond the limits of human perception. Audiophiles then trick themselves into hearing the atoms that make up the wire, when every measurement doesn't show anything.

One of my mics I prefer most on floor drums is a modified Pyle Karaoke mic I got from Amazon for 30 bucks and added a cheap transformer into. My headphones are maybe 200 bucks (and half of that was paid for reliability, not for sound quality). I got a second pair for closer to 1200 bicks, but thst is just for retouche work where I need to hear the faintest background noises, I actually prefer the sound of the cheaper ones.

I am still amazed by most recordings I was amazed by when I started on my journey. In fact more so now.

We don't need to inevitably turn everything into a stage to show off our own mental superiority. Especially in the audiophile realm these people claim to hear things that they wouldn't be able to pick out reliably in a properly conducted double-randomized blind test. And everything else is basically worthless since you then just measure a persons ability to fool themselves.

Recently my assistant who just started out in the field came for advice. She wanted to spend some money on a mic and audio interface. And I recommended her one for a quarter of the price she planned on spending since it basically had the same measurements and better software support. As for mics I told her to test my mics with that interface and she should use that test to figure out what she wants. Originally she wanted to spend good money on getting an expensive studio mic, in the test my old dynamic Sennheiser MD21 that I got from ebay won. She got the same for cheap from there as well.

Don't get me wrong, I will be the first to hear bad acoustics, missaligned speakers, a dying loudspeaker suspension, a overdriven amplification system, a missed buffer deadline, a bad mix, a bad recording, phase issues, etc. It is my job to notice. But that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the music running over such a system as much as I did before I knew all that. In fact I might even enjoy it more.

Your approximation isn't really better than theirs.

It's true that you can't go below black, but SDR has extremely bad precision below 1 nit. HDR can accurately represent scenes at least 100x darker than SDR, in addition to bright spots at least 100x brighter. https://2.img-dpreview.com/files/p/TS940x940~forums/66687985...

All the Fairphone Versions support e/OS/ as far as I know. I have the Fairphone 5 with the current e/OS/ version completely un-googled. But you also have the option to allow partial google-fication in e/OS/ so you don't miss out on most of the features and paid-apps you had.

What they talk about is Rosetta's macOS frameworks compiled for Intel being kept around (which macOS Intel apps use, like if you run some old <xxx>.app that's not available for Apple Silicon).

The low-level Rosetta as a translation layer (which is what containers use) will be kept, and they will even keep it for Intel games, as they say in the OP.

As kragen already posted, you can cast from const-pointer to non-const directly.

Not allowing a cast from integer to pointer is the point of having pointers as capabilities in the first place.

Central in that idea of capabilities is that you can only narrow privileges, never widen them. An intptr_t would in-effect be a capability narrowed to be used only for hashing and comparison, with the right for reading and writing through it stripped away.

BTW, if you would store the uintptr_t then it would lose its notion of being a pointer, and Fil-C's garbage collector would not be able to trace it.

The C standard allows casts both ways, but the [u]intptr_t types are optional. However, C on hardware capability architectures' (CHERI, Elbrus, I dunno about AS/400) tend to make the type available anyway because the one-way cast is so common in real-world code.

I've already lost my "studio" (a few appliances in the corner of my room) due to upgrade from windows 7 to 10. Now it will happen again after I migrated to mac. I guess the "studio" should be left alone when it comes to upgrades. I'm starting to believe, that a "studio" is a set of software AND hardware, so I guess I won't sell my mac to buy new, but rather maintain it with given software and hardware on it, just maybe unplug it from the internet.

-- EDIT --

or just move back to windows, but I can't imagine it with the current state of AI bloat
Ask HN: Claude Skills and Bs4 for intelligent scraping
by poch4nga | 2025-10-29 07:26:00+00:00
while building https://polyscores.xyz (soccer betting for polymarket) as a side project, I was scraping a number of data sources that feed the front end and my decision making during live games. but the problem that I have is that there is so many different data models and parts of the source websites that I am scraping - I don't want to have a dedicated solution for all them. I want something that can do all at once with a simple prompt

While doing all this scraping without any agent help, seeing claude skills' (I am an anthropic power user) ability to run scripts - I want to build a generic scraper that can do a number of things:

1) create data models based on the data it sees

2) create target data stores, like a postgres table based on a model from 1

3) scrape the data using claude agent sdk + playwright mcp

4) dump the data into the storages it creates

this can be utilised for so many different problems. but looking at the scope of the problem, this might be its own company :D

my questions are more of a market discovery:

- if people know of anyone building something similar?

- is someone from the audience would find it useful?

I think I will build a small version for myself without 1 and 2 but would love to know what people think

> Right, but that's a choice from manufacturers, not a requirement of building a mobile platform.

Yup, it's a cost thing.

Standardizing busses, protocols, discovery etc is costly, it adds a cost to every SoC, just wiring up components on PCBs is quick, cheap and takes up less space. All three are important in mobile.

The reason you'd implement the standards is for interoperability, which is not what mobile devices are going for. You're getting the OS the manufacturer chooses and that's it, the hardware doesn't have to support anything else.

Standards are also a commitment, and that commitment can be a cost in the future. It's not free for PCs to support all of the legacy hardware they do, for example. A lot of work goes into that.

The reason I bring up ARM servers and PCs is because both have a long legacy of standardization, and to be a real player in either space, you need to meet those expected standards, which ARM ISAs have. Mobile has no such legacy. If PCs had no such legacy, I think we'd see the same issues mobile does today (which we kind of already do on tablets, Chromebooks, etc).

>The solution, I think, would be a regulation that forbids manufacturers of any chip or device CPU from making obstacles to reprogramming the device (using fuses, digital signatures, encryption etc).

Why would you make essential security features illegal? Do you want to fly on a plane where the flight control software was maybe overwritten?

>So if you buy a device with CPU and writable memory, you should be able to load your own program and manufacturer may not use technical measures to stop you.

The problem is Google and Apple locking down their Operating System, this is not a technical limitation on hardware.

Apple UX: A beginner on a new Mac can’t right-click and copy, because there is a right-click but it isn’t active by default.

Go to Spotlight -> Type “Settings” -> Locate the settings -> In settings, go to Accessibility -> Wait no, it’s Mouse -> Gestures -> Activate the right-click.

^ That’s the experience for beginners. That screen should be in the installation wizard if Apple wants to make it optional. “Customize your mouse gestures”.

>This is why I switched to Android, just for Google now to pull the rug from under my feet again

1) You can continue to install unsigned APKs via adb with the upcoming update.

2) Signing APKs for sideloading requires a Google development account which is a one time fee of $25, no yearly fees.

So still a free sideloading option available, and if you want to avoid adb it is a one time cost that is 1/4 the annual rate on Apple.

I found the article is no more than ranting about something that they are just projecting. The browser may not be for everyone, but I think there’s a lot of value to an AI tool that helps you find what you’re looking for without shoving as many ads as possible down your throat while summarizing content to your needs. Supposing OpenAI is not the monster that is trying to kill the web and lock you up , can’t you see how that may be a useful tool?

It wouldn't, you need drivers for your modem, gpu, gps etc. It's encumbered with patents and "prohibited" software circumvention techniques, you're right about one thing it would be regarded as criminally offensive by our current legal system.

Speaking of android, if iOS had jailbreaking, maybe we need a bigger prisonbreaking from Google

I understand. I think it very much depends on the environment. I usually run in parks not on the street. I also trust my eyes more than my ears when doing runs on more trafficked routes. The Apple AirPods have a great transparent mode. I tried bone conducting headphone and it wasn’t for me. I know that the new models are kind of hybrids now. But I also love the fact that I can listen to myself. I had tons of headphones over the years. And I think for me the AirPods Pro 2 are just the most versatile.

Author here. The core idea is that an LLM's weights form a resonance-holographic field. This isn't just a metaphor; it's a model with testable predictions.

For example, this view implies that: 1. Bias isn't data you can filter out, but a structural imprint on the entire 'hologram'. Trying to remove it is like trying to scratch a ghost off a photograph; the underlying pattern remains. 2. Fine-tuning is a gamble. You're not just adding knowledge; you're altering the entire interference pattern, which can have wildly unpredictable side effects (the "Russian Roulette" aspect). 3. Model Autophagy Disorder (MAD) has a physical explanation. When models train on each other's data, they aren't just copying information, but interfering with each other's holograms, amplifying structural artifacts until they drift from reality.

The main point is that these phenomena—unfilterable bias, synthetic data collapse, jailbreaking—aren't separate bugs but emergent properties of the same underlying principle.

Curious to hear what HN thinks, especially about the proposed experiments to test this.

The PR spec for some open source projects are quite onerous.

What is unspoken here is that some open projects are using cost of submission AND cost of change / contrib as a kind of means of keeping review work down.

Nobody is correct here really. It's just that the bottlenecks have changed and we need to rethink everything.

Changing something small on a very large project is a good test. A user might simply want a new optional argument or something. Now they can do it and PR. But the process is geared towards people who know the project better even if the contributor can run all the tests it is still not trivial to fill in the PR request for a trivial change.

We need to rethink this regime shift a bit.

> We're only discussing the loss of the software support here

Schematically "Rosetta 2" is multiple things:

- hardware support (e.g TSO)

- binary translation (AOT + JIT)

- fat binaries (dylibs, frameworks, executables)

- UI (inspector checkbox, arch(1) command, ...)

My bet is that beyond the fancy high-level "Rosetta 2" word what will happen is that they'll simply stop shipping fat x86_64+aarch64 system binaries+frameworks[0], while the remainder remains.

[0]: or rather, heavily cull

It's not if you're running it system that also runs other software. On a dedicated VM, I wouldn't care, though.

As for :latest, that depends on the push policy of the container owners. NextCloud only pushes stable releases to :latest so it's probably fine. There's no reason a :v123 tag would be any more or less secure than :latest.

This is a concept I'm working around with Microdiagram (microdiagram.com) prototype.

i.e. having a general purpose diagram/graph layout is hellishly difficult, but most of the diagrams/charts follow much simpler rules, thus it's much easier to have N languages, each for 1 type of diagram, than 1 language for N types of diagrams.

I have to figure that one out every time I do it ;-)

The resulting interface ior should be positive if you go from a less dense medium into a denser medium, so I guess the material you're going to goes on top.

(which matches what happens from air-> glass. ior air is more or less one, mior glass = 1.5 so from air to glass -> ior 1.5)

so the thing is, as an Android dev if I get embedded linux experience then I have lateral career movement to the peripherals that I'm usually writing apps for. While the intersection of app developers to embedded linux developers is probably very small, there is a smidge of incentive there, and that can be a powerful thing for the community: a lot of the pain points on linux phones feel hardware oriented (I complain loudly about the pinephone battery elsewhere in this thread).

another tailwind might be in the gaming scene. I have the general sense that SteamOS has been an interesting gateway for technically-minded folks to be impressed by this Linux thing. A similar model for mobile phones might be a tailwind (like a SteamOS for ARM?) The reason why that's perfect is because it undermines the Google monopoly and creates an app ecosystem that people will absolutely flock to, at least for games ($$).

>a violation of a couple's emotional or sexual exclusivity that commonly results in feelings of anger, sexual jealousy, and rivalry

Well, the shoe fits. You can say the boundaries are extremely unreasonable but it fits the definition.

I guess as a more realistic example: I have heard of couples break up over porn habits. Not a viable romantic rival, but one that seeded jealousy and rivalry regardless.

The odds of having just about any Linux distro work "out of the box" without manual tweaking on just about any computer are still pretty low I'm afraid (by "work" I mean "support all of the functionality"). For instance, the laptop I'm writing this on connects without problems to a Bluetooth mouse, but won't for the life of me work with my Bluetooth headphones.

Or Vercel is just a commercial web host that the person who volunteered to maintain the docs likes to use?

The headline seems to imply that it’s some kind of gotcha that the marketing for an OS is being served by a different OS.

I don’t see what the issue is. Web hosts and Linux distros are a dime a dozen. It sounds impractical to choose a hosting company based on what flavor of Linux is used instead of the price and features of the platform you upload the site to.

Or you could do a much simpler thing and support HTTPS and not expect users to change ISPs (which is not always possible, e.g. in rural areas) or change laws (which is even less realistic) to browse your (or any other) blog. Injecting ads has nothing to do with corporate MITM, it's unquestionably bad, but unrelated here.

More to the point: serving your blog with HTTPS via Let's Encrypt does not in any way forbid you from also serving it with HTTP without "depending on third parties to publish content online". It would take away from the drama of the statement though, I suppose.

Yet, still 1/4th of the time my ThinkPad with Linux wakes with a Thunderbolt display connected it dies with a kernel panic deep in the code that handles DDC (no matter what kernel version).

And the latest gen finger print scanner only works between 10-50% of the time depending on the day, humidity, etc., no matter hof often you re-enroll a fingerprint, enroll a fingerprint multiple times, etc.

And the battery drains in 3-4 hours. Unless you let powertop enable all USB/Bluetooth autosuspend, etc. But then you have to write your own udev rules to disable autosuspend when connected to power, because otherwise there is a large wakeup latency when you use your Bluetooth trackball again after not touching it for one or two seconds.

And if you use GNOME (yes, I know use KDE or whatever), you have to use extensions to get system tray icons back. But since the last few releases some icons randomly don't work (e.g. Dropbox) when you click on it.

And there are connectivity issues with Bluetooth headphones all the time plus no effortless switching between devices. (Any larger video/audio meeting, you can always find the Linux user, because they will need five minutes to get working audio.)

As long as desktop/laptop Linux is still death by a thousand paper cuts, Linux on the desktop is not going to happen.

I can't help the feeling that everything in our lives and finances being tied to our permanent government-sanctioned identity has a chilling effect on deviance. No longer can one skip across state lines with a crisp hundred in ones pocket if one's deviance becomes widely known...

HTTPS sadly offers no protection from that at all these days. At least in the past when something was HTTPS you knew that someone had to jump through some hoops and pay some real money to earn that padlock, but now any script kiddie can automate certificates for free for as many lookalike domains they want to.

It would be nice to see some way for browsers to indicate when a site has some extra validation so you could immediately see that your bank has a real certificate as is appropriate for a bank and not just Let's Encrypt. Yes, I can click the padlock icon to get that information, but it would be nice if there was some light warning for free certificates to make it more immediately obvious.

Even phones from Motorola require you to literally ask permission to unlock your bootloader via a form on their website, which they then unlock remotely or you enter some generated code.

Other manufacturers do the same, where you have to wait a period of like 45 days before being able to unlock, and then have to ask permission on their website to unlock your bootloader.
