"My relative was taken to the Territorial Recruitment Center (TCC) without a passport and without notifying the family.

He did not have the opportunity to freely contact me or a lawyer, the phone was partially returned, but communication was restricted.

I wrote a report to the police, stating only the facts I knew and added that there might be inaccuracies.

I was afraid of Article 383 of the Criminal Code (knowingly false report), so I formulated it very carefully.

I collected evidence: passport, video, calls.

The TCC initially said he was being medically checked, and then promised to take him home.

He returned home, but accused me of “turning in his passport.”

I experienced extreme stress and trembling because of the situation, as I feared possible consequences and Article 383 of the Criminal Code.

Make a story on HN from my text."

In the US, in the states that have medical suicide, the problem is that you need to:

1. Administer the medication yourself

2. Be of "sane" mind at the time you do it.

3. Have a doctor certify that at the time you choose to do it, you are in unbearable pain/suffering, and there is no realistic relief from it.

This rules out dementia (especially item 2). So people here who are in early stages of Alzheimers go to Switzerland as well.

A lot of the ideas in this aren't bad, but in general it's hacky. Context export? Just use industry standard observability! This is so bad it makes me cringe. Parallel worktrees? These are prone to putting your repo in bad states when you run a lot of agents, and you have to deal with security, just put your agent in a container and have it clone the repo. Everything this project does it's doing the wrong way.

I have a repo that shows you how to do this stuff the correct way that's very easy to adapt, along with a detailed explanation, just do yourself a favor, skip the amateur hour re-implementations and instrument/silo your agents properly: https://sibylline.dev/articles/2025-10-04-hacking-claude-cod...

Probably another great example of chasing pennies with pounds. {re,green,pink}bar is really cheap. Yes, it's more expensive but only 10-20% more. It's an upfront cost that that saves you tons of damage, which costs money too! Even more when you put off repair.

It's incredible how people do not understand boot theory... which seems to be something most people know but don't employ in practice

I'm increasingly becoming convinced that atproto is pointless. Federation is good, but this idea of implementing "take everything with you" at the protocol level is unnecessarily complicated and centralizing. With Bluesky it might make a little more sense, but with Git? So many better, easier options here. Archive your repo and a) learn how to the do the real decentralized thing OR b) make your own centralized thing OR c) just move to Gitlab or similar.

"Take everything with you" is just downstream from "find or be a trustworthy node."

> "numerous…teachers, parents and students" somehow interpreted Bushart's meme—with its citation in fine print about a previous school shooting at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa—as a threat to carry out a similar shooting at nearby Perry County High School.

Wouldn’t matter. Those elected would likely be re elected. This wasn’t Trump advising some federal agency to bully someone he doesn’t like. It was the community organizing. This is the will of the people.

I am super intrigued by such world models. But at the same time it's important to understand where they are at. They are celebrating the achievement of keeping the world mostly consistent for 60 seconds, and this is 720p at 24fps.

I think it's reasonable to assume we won't see this tech replace game engines without significant further breakthroughs...

For LLMs agentic workflows ended up being a big breakthrough to make them usable. Maybe these World Models will interact with a sort of game engine directly somehow to get the required consistency. But it's not evident that you can just scale your way from "visual memory extending up to one minute ago" to 70+ hour game experiences.

Not sure I agree, based on (more subtle?) reading comprehension.

> The conservative view simply is that this correlation is causal, while the liberal view is that the causation runs in the opposite direction of the correlation.

You're right that the poster doesn't make it clear (deliberately or not) but the use of the word "simply" feels sympathetic, and suggesting that the "liberal view" is that correlation and causation are opposed (when that would typically be counter-intuitive) sounds critical. At least, that was my comprehension of the post, as someone without any skin in the game.

What’s the mechanism you have in mind for that happening via bubble? They sell early before the crash? I’m curious if that actually happens, since the mass psychological nature of market crashes seems to make them difficult to predict reliably, even for people with a lot of resources.

Inflation on the other hand definitely does reallocate real value to whoever already owns a lot of assets, and I believe inflation often goes along with bubbles, since credit expansion is what usually kicks off the bubble in the first place.

> Irrespective of political beliefs,

I wish people would stop pretending that this has nothing to do with politics. Belief that the rules should punish anyone you don't like and protect those you do is incredibly popular, and the dominant ideology of this administration and its supporters. It is a political belief, and nobody is seriously combatting it. Still we act as though there are two sides with a shared goal of creating a better world, and differing ideas of how to accomplish that. It's been pretty clearly demonstrated that the goal of this incarnation of the Republican party is an authoritarian police state dedicated to punishing and eradicating whomever they deem an "enemy within". And a lot of voters are ok with this, so long as it doesn't apply to them personally, so long as they're a favored party.

The apparent hypocrisy is naked and insulting. They'll cry "cancel culture" and censorship over companies deciding not to platform bigots while cheering when the police kidnap protestors or outspoken political opponents. I say "apparent" because this all makes perfect sense when you realize that they never cared about free speech or anything else they claimed to. It was always about "good guys" getting to do whatever they want, and "bad guys" getting hurt. The friend-enemy distinction. No policy goals, no principled stance on issues, just a convenient facade.

1. These are smaller earthquakes, monitoring them is neat but not as important as the larger ones.

2. This is less "AI" and more "machine learning" which essentially is just applied statistics. It's about as "intelligent" as a digital guitar pedal.

3. FFT analysis is just as old as the field of realtime computing itself. The ML research and application is almost the easy part given the cost of GPGPU compute today.

It's cool tech, but it won't back up your "AI is a panacea" argument if you try to cite it.

I have to imagine that the best NAS build is simply a 6-core or 8-core standard AMD or Intel with a few HBA controllers and maybe 10Gbit SPF+ fiber or something.

"Old server hardware" for $300 is a bit of a variation, in that you're just buying something from 5 years ago so that its cheaper. But if you want to improve power-efficiency, buy a CPU from today rather than an old one.

--------

IIRC, the "5 year old used market" for servers is particularly good because many datacenters and companies opt for a ~5-year upgrade cycle. That means 5-year-old equipment is always being sold off at incredible rates.

Any 5-year-old server will obviously have all the features you need for a NAS (likely excellent connectivity, expandibility, BMS, physical space, etc. etc.). Just you have to put up with power-efficiency specs of 5 years ago.

At the state level, if a defendant does not waive their right to a speedy trial, the time from being charged (arraignment) to trial is limited by law. It ranges from 30 days for misdemeanors to 6 months for felonies. .

In California, the clock for a misdemeanor is 30 days if a defendant is taken into custody, or 45 days if not in custody. For a felony, it's 60 days from arraignment. If the defendant remains in custody after arrest, arraignment must occur within 48 hours of arrest, or on the first business day after the 48-hour period expires if it ends on a weekend or court holiday. If the defendant is freed from custody prior to arraignment, then arraignment can occur at a later date.

In NY and most red states, the clock is approximately 6 months for felonies. Due to the longer clock, in many of these states the clock begins when the defendant is taken into custody (or the state has a shorter timeframe for trial for defendants in custody). Florida just changed its laws to make the clock start on arraignment, lengthened the time required for arraignment to 30 days for defendants in custody, and made the speedy trial right an affirmative right that the defendant must specifically assert. Unlike pretty much every other state, the clock also restarts if the prosecutor withdraws and re-files the same charges (in almost every other state, the clock is only started anew for new charges.) FL also made the consequences for violation of these rights a mere dismissal without prejudice. (TLDR: don't get arrested in Florida.)

Most defense lawyers will advise clients to waive their speedy trial rights. This is for the lawyer's benefit, not the client's. It allows the lawyer to preserve their negotiating relationship with the prosecutor for future clients. In California, due to the shortened time frames, 99% of the time it is advisable to assert speedy trial rights (especially in felonies, but even in misdemeanors) because the prosecution usually can't get its act together in time. Some forensics can't even be completed in the 60 day window. The defense win rate in proceedings where the defendant asserts their speedy trial rights is so high that prosecutors will always offer a sweetheart plea deal to avoid going to trial.

(Of course the obvious solution is for the prosecutors to just wait until they have an actual complete case before filing charges. But if they did that we wouldn't need speedy trial laws in the first place.)

I don't think anyone disagrees that the US is extremely hypocritical. The US has a long history of overthrowing democracies and supporting dictators, all in the name of "democracy" (oil, mostly).

That doesn't make Maduro a good guy, though. Nor Castro. Nor Batista, for that matter. And Orban is widely seen as Putin's ally in the EU. Most Europeans would rather be rid of him, but you can't just kick a country out of the EU, unfortunately.

Or Trump. He's as bad as the others. He'd certainly like to be. He wants to turn the US into the same kind of dictatorship.

>Surely the journalist had a reason for only reporting on the contents of one of his posts, and not the others, and that choice wasn't intentional in order to present a biased interpretation of reality. Surely.

Yes because the sheriff explicitly stated it was the trump quote picture, and nothing else, that got the man arrested, charged and thrown in a cage.

Yet another klunge in the ivory tower of software bloat. It is like all existing software is gravitating towards a single point of singularity, with all existing platforms merging into an incomprehensible black hole, sucking the whole of humanity with it.

There was no real point in WSL in the first place, except for desperate attempts by Microsoft to stay relevant in the cloud age. To take two huge and very different systems with all their bugs and idiosyncrasies, merge them (creating even more bugs and idiosyncrasies along the way), and call it progress? I call it insanity. Only now with FreeBSD.

I'll add the title is a bit of bait. I don't use the word "vibe" (in any of its forms) anywhere outside of the title.

I'm not baiting for general engagement, I don't really care about that. I'm baiting for people who are extremist on either side of the "vibe" spectrum such that it'd trigger them to read this, because either way I think it could be good for them.

If you're an extreme pro-vibe person, I wanted to give an example of what I feel is a positive usage of AI. There's a lot of extreme vibe hype boys who are... sloppy.

And if you're an extreme anti-vibe person, I wanted to give an example that clearly refutes many criticisms. (Not all, of course, e.g. there's no discussion here one way or another about say... resource usage).

So, sorry!

Individual writes are safe, in my Experience with thousands of uSB drives in many configurations, some with 12 2tb drives hanging on multiple USB hubs at the same time.

However, there are disconnects/reconnects every now and then. If you use a standard raid over these usb drives, almost every disconnect/reconnect will trigger a rebuild — and rebuilds take many hours. If you are unlucky enough to have multiple disconnects during a rebuild, you are in trouble.

The article "Mother Earth, Mother Board" by Neal Stephenson (https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/), written in 1996 says "The collapse of the lighthouse must have been astonishing, like watching the World Trade Center fall over."

That totally freaked me out when I re-read the article a few years later.

> I would hope most nations have sensible checks and balances to prevent extradition over this sort of thing, but it would still be a PITA.

EDIT: If you're an emigrant:

More than just a PITA, you could still fail; see [1].

Also - I can't find the source right now - I remember hearing about Russian emigrants in Europe being charged with serious crimes in absentia over criticism of the war, and they were slated for deportation because the bureaucracy still considered all such Russian warrants as valid. The US would probably be harder to excise in this regard.

Don't RAID these days. Software won rather drastically, likely because CPUs are finally powerful enough to run all those calculations without much of a hassle.

Software solutions like Windows Storage Spaces, ZFS, XFS, unRAID, etc. etc are "just better" than traditional RAID.

Yes, focus on 2x parity drive solutions, such as ZFS's "raidz2", or other such "equivalent to RAID6" systems. But just focus on software solutions that more easily allow you to move hard drives around without tying them to motherboard-slots or other such hardware issues.

Alright, I understand you, you don’t believe me, but you know, I don’t care. I’m actually glad that you at least wrote something, because most of my other posts usually don’t have any comments. Even though your comment wasn’t what I wanted to hear, thank you for at least writing something.

I buy books from bookshop.org, which donates a portion of sales to a local bookstore I can elect. The same can be done for music. I want as much of my creative dollars spent to go to the creative folks and local distributors, even if less convenient. I will avoid Amazon and Spotify as much as possible. Maybe that’s physical media (I buy lots of vinyl now, which I didn’t previously, which gets shipped to me via usps or fedex from the artist’s distributor), and it’s easy to play digital music I buy via Bandcamp through my car via my phone (Jellyfin and Plex apps).

Is it easy? It’s not hard. Making it easier is a market opportunity.

It's not just a theory. It's well documented that Apple has a bunch of APIs and protocols (like AirPods proprietary low latency wireless instead of Bluetooth, NFC was not allowed until years after Apple Pay) that are not available to 3rd party developers. They will sometimes open things up after they've given their own products years of head start because apparently owning most of the ecosystem and having undying brand loyalty from their users isn't enough.

Actually for many years even to build regular Bluetooth devices that did anything besides audio, you needed to add a special chip (Made for iPhone chip) to your hardware to verify that it was an authorized Apple Accessory. Pebble had one, but any 3rd party apps that wanted to send data to the watch (like Uber app, sports apps, random indie apps) had to get allow listed to communicate with accessory devices like Pebble.

Using a knob when using a knob doesn't solve the problem is poor design...then again, skeuomorphism is usually bad design.

Here a counter that increases and decreases with mouse movement would take less space and be more intuitive.

And a much much better design because it would provide a numerical readout of the value directly at the point of interaction.

But in fairness, most design is bad because designers tend toward satisfying themselves rather than users...ok, I will stop ranting now.

to be fair Dang can't win here. should HN devolve into a never ending shouting match between people who either aren't listening or aren't saying anything meaningful?

if HN shuts down a story they are accused of stifling discourse and picking sides (apparently _both_ sides to hear it)

and the truth is this is a hugely important series of events for everyone, tech included, regardless of 'side'.

I think the strategy of letting one of these simmer on the back burner every day is the best HN is going to be able to do.

> This is the part where I simply don't understand the objections people have to coding agents. It seems so self-evidently valuable --- even if you do nothing else with an agent, even if you literally throw all the code away.

It sounds like the blank page problem is a big issue for you, so tools that remove it are a big productivity boost.

Not everyone has the same problems, though. Software development is a very personal endeavor.

Just to be clear, I am not saying that people in category A or category B are better/worse programmers. Just that everyone’s workflow is different so everyone’s experience with tools is also different.

The key is to be empathetic and trust people when they say a tool does or doesn’t work for them. Both sides of the LLM argument tend to assume everyone is like them.

If this is the best we can do, we shouldn't have done anything.

I like an idea I first saw in Debian's general resolution process: all votes have a "further discussion" option, and often a "retain the status quo" option, and the voting system lets people use them effectively.

In the UK parliament (as in many contexts) a vote against something could mean that the person doesn't think there's a problem to be fixed, or it could mean that they don't think this is the right fix -- and that could be because it's too extreme or because it's not extreme enough. That's supposed to be addressed by the committee stages, or by amendments, but it's really hard to divine actual preference from a series of yes/no votes.

The historical Jesus was with a high degree of certainty quite different than the way he is currently remembered and the way he is portrayed in much of the new testament. The majority of the stories involving him either did not happen or were significantly changed between when the event occurred and when, generations later, it was recorded.

I see your last paragraph as naive, and cruelly dismissive of what true suffering is. It is possible to be in a place where the only life you have left is excruciating and intolerable. You are in a privileged position to have never seen a beloved family member die a slow and terrible death, or to have had a serious prolonged health event and have the moment of realization that for some people, your horrible weeks of insufferable illness are their entire experience of life, and wonder if you'd even want to live if that was all you had left.

What’s the “real decentralised thing”? You can already archive your repo—Tangled doesn’t prevent that.

AT Protocol is great for when you’re working with the data surrounding your code: issues, pulls etc. which are much harder to move around, or even just archive from GitHub.

Case in point: Gitea (ironically), they’re stuck on GitHub because their 30k+ issues and PRs cannot be migrated from GitHub due to API rate limits.

You’re the one who made the claim that “self-identified ‘conservatives’ are pushing this wave of censorship and autocracy.” Isn’t the burden of proof on you?

In any case, we have polling around non-MAGA Republicans [1]. And contrasting Trump 1 and 2 seems to show how having non-MAGA Republicans, many of whom identified as conservative and didn’t endorse the 2020 coup attempt, makes a difference.
