That's fair, it just jumped out so strongly to me that I didn't think to explain.

The implicit "no true scotsman" statement was "The people who 'took over and perverted' all these technologies were the creeps, None of the people who were there before this 'takeover' were considered creeps by anyone no sir, all upstanding Scotsmen each and every one of them. (And if there was a creep, he was obviously part of the 'takeover')."

Incorporating LLMs into software is a software dev job from what I have experienced. You don't need to know anything other than how to design and integrate APIs. So, the real answer to your question is dependent on what companies are actually "building" something versus which are simply slapping together a bunch of things (I am not against either, if my phrasing suggested otherwise!). A lot of companies and research groups are emerging where you do need ML theory and hence ML engineers. Take for example PPFL (Privacy Preserving Federated Learning) or similar fields.

I'm afraid you are not going to convince anyone like that who was not already convinced.

I've been using both Windows and Linux for the past decade, and I think we have to acknowledge that both have their strengths and weaknesses. For instance, there is no doubt that the Linux UX is less polished or that Windows makes UI customization more difficult (it is possible but you have to write dlls instead of css).

But the points you make do not really touch the core of the difference. The ability to drag windows from any point? That's horrible for people who like to click on stuff without intention to drag a window. It's like the shitty toolbars in Office 95 that were not 'locked' by default so you would accidentally move them around all the time.

Backspace only single characters? Windows 2000 already supported ctrl+bs/del, so not sure where this is going. Same for block devices, those were supported for an eternity, and were contributing to make Windows more prone to rootkits. And so on for most of the points you made - they are simply not true, perhaps because you are not familiar with Windows :(

I do agree that Linux should be preferred today for most people who are just starting out on computers. So let's get the facts straight and leave out controversial and opinionated topics that only let Windows fanboys go "Akshually".

I’m really shocked that nobody stopped and thought “doctors have special training and should be expected to diagnose and treat Sepsis if reminded about the possibility.” I don’t think it was appropriate to block the entire flow, and I’m surprised nobody thought it was possible to want some but not all of the actions for sepsis. If the developers are really making popups that make life or death decisions then maybe EMR customizations should have a tighter safety class.

If it were me, I would have also named the developer or administrator who implemented the popup. It sounds like a key stumbling block in a medical device.

AMD was desperate enough to sell 10% of their company to get 1 customer.

The issue here is now, that every large customer of AMD will now probably ask for equity. AMD has put itself into a pit hole with that deal.

If I were Hyperscaler CEO, I would basically ask for the a similiar deal as OpenAI or no business. Sorry Lisa Su but as a CEO giving equity to a customer is an absolute red flag because it starts a negative spirale you can't stop.

It seems that no matter the discount, OpenAI wasn't ready to make deal without equity. This tells you exactly how AMD is seen in the AI world.

OpenAI will take the compute for free and help AMD to rise stock value but it won't help AMD one bit because if AMD remains in the current position then OpenAI and Hyperscalers can get great deals with equity from AMD. The incentive isn't now to improve AMD to be competitive but to squeeze everything out of a company being desperate enough to give equity to customers.

And AMD will feel this. Nvidia will remain dominant because of ecosystem and supply. AMD can't easily replace Nvidia in supply chain and Nvidia is already strongly entrenched in many AI compute operations. And on the other side Hyperscalers are focused on their own chips (even OpenAI LOL) so they will tell AMD "Give us equity or no deal". This deal might be really the worst AMD deal yet because AMD is telling the world "here, you can get free AI compute from us financed by our equity". And while it might push AMD share price the very share price will drop 80-90% like any other one in case of an AI bubble pop.

Can you share what the experience is like debugging with gdb directly?

I'm new enough that my first debugger experience was Visual Studio, and I currently use IntelliJ IDEs which provide a similar experience. That experience consisting of: setting breakpoints in the gutter of the text editor, visually stepping through my source files line by line when a breakpoint is hit, with a special-purpose pane in the IDE visible, showing the call stack and the state of all local variables (and able to poke at that state any point higher up in the stack by clicking around the debug pane), able to execute small snippets of code manually to make evaluations/calculations based on the current program state.

I'm not so naive to believe that effective debugging tools didn't exist before GUIs became commonplace, but I have a hard time seeing how anything TUI-based can be anywhere near as information-dense and let you poke around at the running program like I do with my GUI-based IDEs.

(Pasting this comment under a few others because I genuinely want to hear how this works in the real world!)

I've been running Linux on my main desktop for decades (from when VMware workstation gave me access to windows on the same PC without rebooting). A couple of years ago VMware became worse and worse and KVM/virt manager is still missing critical features (gui performance is horrible on Nvidia unless you want to dedicate entire card and monitor to windows).

I'd love to have a nice solution to run run old windows XP and 10 on modern Linux with even 50% native performance (on Nvidia) but it's not looking like my wish I'd getting closer to being fulfilled.

So perhaps it is better Microsoft is actively trying to kill windows. Once it is dead it will be less of a moving target. We have amazing ways to run DOS. I hope one day the same can be said for windows. I have decades and decades of software I like to fire up once every few months to use (ham radio antenna simulation, PCB design, etc. Software I own actually own fully paid licenses for that becomes a pain to run). Currently I use kvm/virt manager and I'm suffering the bad GPU performance and crashes if I try to standby the PC.

Call centres manage it; they use headsets.

Alternatively it could be people working from home.

Though, with the state of "prompt engineering", I'm now imagining legions wandering down the street, speaking into Bluetooth headsets, desperately entreating an AI to do the task they've been assigned...

That depends on the intent of the sentence, and the intent was only a guess of the GP. But you can analyze だけに in two ways:

英語に吹き替える to dub in English (the base case of 吹き替える)

英語だけに吹き替える to dub just in English (だけ + に)

アメリカだけに吹き替える to dub, just because it's America / as you'd expect of America (だけに grammar https://tanosuke.com/n2-dakeni)

The idea of the average Redditor turning against a company because of pro-Israel sentiment is a little humorous. But I agree overall: the average American plays lip service when it comes to morality. Threatening to cancel some subscriptions after years of carnage is peak slacktivism. What the tech leaders are doing is much more honest from that perspective, no games are being played. What the 20s have shown is that the American populace is a paper tiger.

Well, lots of terraced houses and flats do have a garage or off-street parking. Mine certainly did.

Depending on which research you believe, only 25% of homes don't have a dedicated space - https://www.field-dynamics.co.uk/25-drivers-no-off-street-pa... and https://www.racfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/standing_st...

Lots of local authorities are installing on-street charging.

Basically, the vast majority of people in the UK do have off-street parking. Running a cable to a garage or from a street-lamp isn't overly expensive. Those who park on public streets also have lots of options for charging.

I remember this from way back in the 00's as part of the Web 2.0/semantic web era. I was a big fan of Dan Cederholm's design work (https://simplebits.com - he did the design for the site).

I do like the principle of trying to use semantic html, but I don't think that things like this ever got the kind of mass adoption that would give them staying power. Still a nice nostalgia trip to see it here.

> The majority of the population live in regions that would become more expensive.

Yes, and if you are an individual, family, or even the vast majority of businesses you aren't going to move to Scotland over this, you are going to pay, no choice. So effectively this would have increased bills for most people, so bad politically, with only a marginal change to demand.

There are human limit to the lengths of the lines of text that you can reasonably ingest before it becomes difficult to seek to the next line. If you measure the number of characters in a line of text in a newspaper, magazine, or novel, you’ll find that there is an upper limit of around 100 characters and a lower limit of perhaps 30. Exceeding either of these degrades reading comprehension and looks amateurish. Using styles to enforce good readability is a great use of CSS.

The author mentioned (Galashin) has some fun software to play with these combinatorial structure.

I went to a talk of his that was "interactive" in that to follow along you could play with an interactive widget, but I can't seem to find it right now. This one about plabic tilings (objects mentioned in the article) is fun too: https://www.math.ucla.edu/~galashin/plabic.html

This report also mentions the news/rumors of Apple moving away from more Vision Pro to smart glasses.

> That pivot to smart glasses is also apparently dragging Apple in its wake, with reports that the company is deprioritizing an affordable Vision Pro to focus on its own pair (or pairs plural, actually) of specs.

When I saw this news/rumor a few days ago, I didn’t understand why Apple would rush into this now (with the creepiness of Samsung, Google, and now Meta, all being recognized). Apple sometimes has a different take on how things work, but I can’t think of how it could make non-creepy smart glasses unless it doesn’t put a camera that records and stores things for the user.

I hope this product category flops for all makers.

Consider this scenario.

Your isp emails you that they are terminating your account.

You phone gets disconnected.

You call them and helpdesk doesnt have a clue why.

You try to sign up for new services and they refuse and wont say why.

All because a politician has decided it 'reasonable' to disconnect you from the internet; and he can order complete secrecy and there's no judicial oversight.

Perhaps you showed up at the wrong protest? Note how they seized the bank accounts of protestors and even an entire small bank only a few years ago.

Also, his abstract art was a push back against the realism in art at the time plus the horrible realism of war. He family said, "Abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality". He believed that by abstracting forms and colors to their essential horizontal and vertical lines and primary hues, an artist could express the fundamental, spiritual truths of the universe and achieve a pure, universal beauty and dynamic equilibrium.

Source: I've done a lot of Mondrian research while creating a board game where you actually make art in the Mondrian style while playing.

And that's nice for them.

I think that may be an oversimplification, or a too narrow interpretation of what "relationship" means in this context.

Maybe to the men we're talking about, 'consuming' the presence of their object of adoration(which is to say, regular porn, or for example more story-driven formats like erotic manga), and shows of dedication(Onlyfans, Twitch streamers) are what they're looking for in a 'relationship', while the AI boyfriend women look more for someone/something that gives them personal attention, something where they really get to bring their 'selves'.
Show HN: Mix – Open-source multimodal agents SDK
by avaibhav54 | 2025-10-07 12:45:16+00:00
Why we built it: • Claude Code: great for coding, but no video/audio support, localhost only • OpenAI SDK: single-model, no native multimedia tools • Both: no integrated DevTools for debugging agent reasoning

So, we built Mix as an alternative for multimodal applications. • Native video/audio/PDF analysis tools (via Gemini for vision, Claude for reasoning) • Multi-model routing instead of single-provider lock-in • One-command Supabase setup for cloud deployment (vs localhost-only) • HTTP architecture that enables visual DevTools alongside agent workflows • Go backend: 50-80% lower memory footprint than Node.js—efficient for concurrent agent sessions. Python and typescript clients are available

Example use cases in the demo video: portfolio analyzer that reads Excel and generates charts, YouTube search agent that finds and edits video clips.

GitHub: https://github.com/recreate-run/mix Demo video: https://youtu.be/IwgKt68wQSc

Would appreciate feedback, especially from folks building multimodal agents.

> I do agree that Linux should be preferred today for most people who are just starting out on computers.

As someone who's used a variety of OSes (ranging from FreeBSD to Windows and macOS) on desktops and laptops, including trying out 6 Linux distros in the past couple of years (Arch, Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Bluefin, and currently NixOS), I honestly don't understand how you end up with "Linux is the best choice for people who are just starting out".

I'm experienced and I prefer Linux, but the amount of time investment I've needed to put into troubleshooting and customizing any of these distros (from Mint having the least to NixOS having the most) has been higher than either Windows (10 or 11) or macOS.

I guess that's the crux of it. From an individual perspective it makes sense to stay in a stable environment, especially if a family is involved. However, I think from a societal perspective it is desirable to have people who gamble on creating new products which can raise the bar in their given industries.

Also, just because the start up fails doesn't mean it was a waste of time. If you manage to provide employment for even just 3 or 4 people for a few years, help them and yourself develop, that is a valuable success.

I made Froggy, open-source v0 for Education.

Educators and Parents can use AI to generate Interactive Activities and Custom Analytics so that you see how students think and not just what they know. You also get recommendations to follow up.

Froggy can make anything from a simple alphabet matching game to an electronic circuit building activity.

Traditional learning analytics treats students as numbers: 67%, B+, etc. You're also stuck with activities that was not made for your kids, their interests and needs.

When students view education as a transaction, they'll use the best tool to complete it. I don't think AI policing or banning will solve this.

My hope is that when you show them that their learning journey including the struggles, hesitations, moments of progress, and successes are cared for, they would want to put in effort. They need to know that people care about them.

Froggy is a coding agent that generates activities, tracks student events, analyzes the events, and then generates a dashboard personalized for every student and the whole class.

You can revise your activities, analyze student data from multiple perspectives and learning science theories, and generate as many dashboards as you want! This was inspired by the Education Report shared by Drew Bent from Anthropic where we see that Educators are already using AI to generate interactive activities for STEM but we need detailed and personalized analytics to close the feedback loop.

I made this with Claude Code (Sonnet 4.5) in 2 days so its not perfect but it was easy thanks to the ai-sdk, shadcn and ai-elements. This was the most efficient I’ve been with Claude Code because in the beginning I was reviewing every single edit to setup a good foundation, types, and structure for it to learn from. Highly recommend starting with Data models, DB schemas and types before making your agent write code! I got into this habit after reading the Data Oriented Programming book and its been very helpful. Planning ahead in Notion gave Claude Code more context about the purpose of the app and my initial DB schemas.

I know that teachers and parents are already busy so this platform would have a gallery of activities to choose from and customize if needed just like v0 and Scratch. Would love to get feedback and thoughts!

While true, it's functionally irrelevant. Humans are animals, animals procreate. Telling people not to do it because reasons is going to be about as effective as telling them not to eat or sleep.

What I would like to see is a norm on numbers of children. Personally, I think that having more than the replacement number - i.e. more than 2 - is straightforwardly unethical given the stress our planet is under. But by the same token, 2 or fewer is fine. And it would be nice if those who choose to have none got a little more respect for it.

I checked both links (until the start of 2024). I see a number of examples for the jokey-joke type translations, but not for the political ones. The only politically charged mistranslation I see there is the Blue Box one from April, which honestly looks accidental. The Twitter gloatings screenshotted seem to squarely pertain to the jokey-joke type stuff too at a skim.

Gonna stand by this angle being way overblown. Thanks for at least bringing receipts though nevertheless.

(not a very serious comment, feel free to skip)

This is a funny timing. I was just discussing with my son this morning what the most efficient ways were to set free the mice we catch in our mouse friendly trap. One of the "options" we came up with was a launching mechanism and a tiny parachute to send them to a field at the end of our street. The main problem we came up with was that it was really hard to predict where the mouse would land. I'll show him this kirigami design this afternoon :-)

(Disclaimer: obviously we're not actually launching mice. These are just thought experiments. I actually walk to the field to release the mice.)

>You're devoting a lot of emotional energy

You're on the Internet. How are you surprised that someone is repeatedly responding in a thread about a very obscure topic, especially when people are posting conspiracy theories?

It's interesting to have these discussions. But it is funny that people's conspiratorial thinking now makes me a part of the conspiracy merely for pointing out easily verifiable facts.

>What is your relationship to either company?

I subscribe to Proton's services, so I was originally interested in finding out what actually happened. Now I'm interested in pointing out people's flawed reasoning because I think Proton is doing something valuable, and I don't want these attacks against them to go unanswered.

Since we're now part of this thread, as the attack on Proton was orchestrated initially by a competitor and seemed to use bot accounts on Twitter, how much do they pay you to try to discredit me?

Just kidding, see above. You and I, we are the same. We do it because it is interesting.
