Great post! Indeed, social media platforms optimize for engagement and ad revenue, not user needs.

Feeds are a user right, not a publisher favor. In that spirit: I recently built RSSible - a tiny tool that lets you turn any webpage into an RSS feed via CSS selectors. I've built this for myself; already using it for HN, Product Hunt, tldr.tech, r/science, IMDb latest shows, RubyOnRemote, and many more.

It's still early, but if anyone here is curious to try or test, I'd love feedback. (You can see live demos on the site)

>If you have nothing then Digital IDs won't help you anyway because, if they do include address, you will also need to start by providing a proof of address to the Digital ID system!

The way it works where it works -- you register with municipality and then whenever you need something, they either give a letter with your address (and maybe charge 25 bucks for it) or the agency gets it from the registry maintained by municipality on the need to know basis.

Since the need-to-know basis is set by law, your explicit consent isn't asked for.

I'm basically fullscreen with everything all the time on macos, but not in the super-duper-fullscreen mode so cmd-tab/cmd-` works predictably. I want this on macos. I know I can't have it on macos. I also can't switch to Linux since macos is mandated by my employer.

Nothing really to take out of it except that I feel like I'm not alone feeling stuck, knowing there are better workflows and not being able to do anything about it.

Panic’s Playdate has been easy to pass around to friends to try. The device intro is a lot of fun and shows the main interactions, and then the games a snappy and easy to jump into.

Definitely would recommend playing with one if you get the chance. Buying one… it depends on how much the device appeals to you, mine got active use for a couple months and then has fallen off

> requiring a huge time investment for learning and keep memorizing its awkward UI.

Have you actually given Blender a serious try? You don’t actually need a huge time investment to get efficient with its basics, maybe 1-3 days with a tutorial.

When it clicks and you memorized just a handful of shortcuts, the UI is mindblowingly intuitive and consistent, pure bliss. To the point where everything else feels wrong.

And let’s be clear, the payoff here is using a fully capable professional tool of nearly infinite complexity. It’s not a toy, niche, or compromise, but widely used across the industry, up there with commercial giants.

> I wonder do German brains work on a much longer context window because of the language?

Maybe, but more due to the spelling of numbers and long sentences. Compound words are not an example of this, since Germans can parse these words just fine as different things. It just means that the lowest "tokenization" in everyday use is not the word, but subcomponents of them.

Do English native speakers "tokenize" expressions in words? Do you see it as '(labelling) (of) (minced)' or '(label)l(ing) (of) (minc)(ed)' ?

I can't speak for most Germans, but the algorithm I think I use is just greedy from left to right. This is also consistent with how mistokenization in common puns works, so I think this is common.

In primary school we trained to recognize syllable boundaries. Is that just a German thing, or is this common in other countries? You need to know these for spelling and once you know these, separating word components becomes trivial.

> What worked better for me is CVnomist. Instead of rewriting your resume into some fluffy template, it takes your base CV and the job posting, then matches the two. The result is still your resume, just tailored to the role in seconds — and it doesn’t hallucinate skills you don’t have.

There's already several services which does exactly this, like Rezi and Teal, to name a couple. What makes CVnomist any better than these established names?

> a Westphalian-Type Sovereignity whereby hard interests decide foreign policy, not human rights concerns

Westphalian sovereignty refers to "a principle in international law that each state has exclusive sovereignty over its territory" [1]. It doesn't support realpolitik nor negate human rights. The only degree to which it intersects with the latter is in arguing against foreign intervention. (Which realpolitik encourages.) It's a concept that was promulgated to integrate previously-independent city states into the larger nation-states and empires of the time.

It's also quite idiotically named, given the actual Peace of Westphalia dealt with foreign powers deciding what to do with the Holy Roman Empire at the end of the Thirty Years' War, with France and Sweden being "recognised as guarantors of the imperial constitution with a right to intercede" [2], sort of the opposite of inviolable sovereignty.

Today, it tends to be something Putin brings up, again, quite idiotically, given he's constantly fucking around in other countries' affairs.

(You're broadly correct that in a Realist international framework the morality of Israel's actions are irrelevant. And that everyone advocating for a multipolar world shifts us in the Realist direction. Practically, however, these are models, not theories, and they coëxist with each other.)

There is an internal financial aid. I don’t know the qualifications for it but I know it’s used extensively.

What’s wild.. at Alpha. Money is no issue or object of discussion other than my oldest coming home with 2k on a Venmo for scoring 100% on the Star test. Or the kids dream up that they want to do a life skill challenge in Montana camping off the grid.. anything is possible!

Now let’s jump to the public magnet schools. They talk about money all day long.

Hey kids if you score x better on this up coming test I’ll get a raise as your educator.

We don’t have money for textbooks so if you want one it’s available in the library for $15

The nurse has to fill out a grant request for getting an ice fridge replaced so she doesn’t have to walk 20 minutes to athletic department.

The sci-tech teacher literally reminisced about how years ago they could afford this specific type of protractor and now it’s these cheap ones that have to be borrowed.

Kids like mine notice it, feel it and on some level probably wrestle with “why” is this a topic. I have used this as an opportunity to teach my kids a lot of things they have yet to be exposed to. And as a family we try to solve some of the specific needs by donating the thing we hear is missing or needed.

All fascinating

At the end of the last course we put out a survey and asked for feedback. There were multiple questions in the feedback form. That's why there are multiple quotes from each person.

If you google any of those names you'll see they are absolutely real people. E.g. here's Pol's Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ayz0DtUAAAAJ&hl=en .

> Slippery slope arguments are not always logical fallacies.

show me a slippery slope that is not a series of deliberate decisions, then.

i've never seen one. every single step down that slope required someone who wanted to go further down the slope and took the action(s) required to go further.

there is no involuntary sliding down slopes here.

> Anti-communist domino theory was based off vibes

Couldn't possibly be that in the post-colonial world there was a burst of new countries, the superpowers were constrained militarily by MAD, and thus both engaged on a worldwide game of attracting potential military allies and trading partners into their respective spheres of influence while denying the other the same wherever possible?

> Would you kindly name them, good sir? Off the top of my head, I think Sudan. But, no Westerner really cares about Sudan

Sudan. Burma. Tigray. (Ukraine. Uyghurs, technically, too, but we don't have footage because China's gotten good at this since Tibet.)

> Israel they do care about because of the media onslaught and their countries' stance on the issue. It's one of those conflicts you just can't unsee

One. Among many.

Uniquely capturing American attention. But so was Darfur once. And #StopKony before that. Barring Israel literally continuing this war for another twenty years, chances are, it too will be forgotten. There really is just that much horribleness constantly happening in the world. I cannot imagine the 2030s will be so blissfully peaceful as to allow us to continue to fixate on the crimes of decades past.

Denying Palestinians their basic human rights to create an apartheid ethno state is not complex.

The narrative that “it is complex therefore there is nothing to be done” is meant to paralyze people from standing up for what’s right.

The solution has always been a single democratic secular state from the river to the sea. For all inhabitants of the land. Including those expelled previously.

Maybe you haven't met Rationalists personally, but they are numerous and powerful members of the Bay Area tech scene.

"Many of the A.I. world’s biggest names — including Shane Legg, a co-founder of Google’s DeepMind; Anthropic’s chief executive, Dario Amodei; and Paul Christiano, a former OpenAI researcher who now leads safety work at the U.S. Center for A.I. Standards and Innovation — have been influenced by Rationalist philosophy. Elon Musk, who runs his own A.I. company, said many of the community’s ideas aligned with his own.

"Mr. Musk met his former partner, the pop star Grimes, after they made the same cheeky reference to a Rationalist belief called Roko’s Basilisk."

If your webapp is simple a rewrite is no big deal and often cheaper than updating the old. As your project gets large that is no longer true. I work with embedded systems, when everything was small ( 8 bits isn't enough for anything else - new feature often means removing something else) we of rewrote large parts to get one new feature. it was easy to estimate a new project and we came in on time. As projects get bigger (32 and 64 bits are now available) we can't do that we can't afford a billion dollar project to rewrite every year.

I'd also like to add the impossibility of knowing what all the gesture controls are. Currently they seem to assume that you have been using an iPhone for years and pay close attention to every product launch. In other words, they assume that you learned them as they evolved. If you didn't, there's not a very good way to uncover them or customize them. Individual apps behave differently as well, and it's pretty vague regarding how you do different things.

My take:

The drone sightings is a mix of Russian ops, and copycat actors. The jets that violate airspace, are probably a mix of intentional close flying, under the plausible deniability that navigation jamming in the area causes them to cross into neighboring airspace.

In the case of Russian aggression, it is to create more tension. Why on earth would Russia want to escalate this, you might ask? Well, now that pretty much every country west of their border is a NATO member, a Russian attack on NATO would likely trigger article 5.

If Russia can provoke any NATO countries to attack first by, say, downing some airplane of theirs (fighter jets, recon, strategic bombers, etc.), they can use this as casus belli, and use it as propaganda. One thing Russia learned after 2022 was that any larger scale mobilization is incredibly unpopular. They can't mobilize millions of soldiers without any real cause, and march into the west. If they can sell the idea (with "proof") that NATO is actively attacking Russia, that's another thing.

They're probably also banking on the fact that the heightened situation will scare people in the west, which in turn will make them vote for isolationist parties that don't want to commit. One thing is to talk about war, another thing is to actually see the writings on the wall.

I don't think European NATO members can do much other than to just keep reinforcing and fortifying their borders, build up their armed forces as if Russia will invade tomorrow, and dig in. And keep hammering Russia with sanctions.

The imperialist dreams of Russia is the expand into the ex-Soviet countries. They've tried election meddling, which worked to some degree, but I think they know that to achieve their goals, they need some larger conflict to happen - so that they can annex the desired areas when peace talks come up.

Could you give some evidence for this claim? Here is some counterevidence: [1] says that the top buyers of Russian energy include:

• Hungary: 416 million euros ($488m)

• Slovakia: 275 million euros ($323m)

• France: 157 million euros ($184m)

• Netherlands: 65 million euros ($76m)

• Belgium: 64 million euros ($75m)

[2] suggests that China and India are the main buyers. I don't how reliable those sources are. There is also the problem of how to classify 'laundered' oil that was bought and resold by, e.g. India.

Sorry, yes you're right the annotations can be embedded too.

But these aren't meant for direct user annotations in a general way.

The web standard doesn't define any standardized mechanism for one user to add highlights and comments, and another user to see them and edit them further.

The annotations are tools that software can use for its own purposes. They're not a user-facing feature like they are in PDF.

They're both called "annotations" but they're completely different. Completely different technologies for completely different use cases.

Somebody sell me on these newfangled tiling WMs. I have been using basically the same xmonad configuration for 15+ years, pretty much updating it only on breaking or deprecated changes. What do all these new Wayland compositors have to offer except "tiling, but for wayland?"

Does Wayland actually work now? I've tried it every few years for over a decade now and every time I ran into showstopper bugs (usually on nvidia cards).

Yeah, i use this technique - both a simple blocking appointment as well as a fake meeting with only myself...but what has even happened a few times is that someone will see that i have an appointment or meeting near the end of the day, and they figure they can book a short meeting with me immediately after that block...I have a colleague at work who from about 6pm until the following day blocks his calendar with an "out of office" signal...so its 100% clear that he is off the clock and not available...but still people in this company (from other timezones mostly but sometimes also the same timezone) harass others regardless if a calendar os blcoked, etc...Like i said its simply toxic where i work in this way. But, i appreciate the idea, thanks!

Niri convinced me to give up xmonad. I ran xmonad exclusively for 14 years.

Being able to have an unlimited number of windows on a desktop (without continually switching the tiling structure) makes them collections of topics rather than having multiple desktops bounded by what fits comfortably. What used to be a switch from the "editor and terminals" desktop to the "browser" desktop is now horizontal movement on the current desktop to the related browser window (general browsing is on a different desktop).

Really low barrier to entry, works great out of the box. There were some wayland teething issues (application support, e.g., no Zoom), but nothing that couldn't be overcome (occasionally by falling back to X). Most of those have been resolved with time.

Edits: Hardware: 2017 System76 Bonobo WS, 2x GTX 1080, multiple screens (4k @ 2x scaling + 2 1080p). PopOS.

I'm running a 1-2 year old build of niri (because it isn't broken), so I've not experienced some of the fancier animations & etc. others dislike.

I consider cloning and building from source to be low barrier to entry if it doesn't involve major setup effort (it doesn't/didn't), so I may be biased. Caveat emptor.

And the whole rationale for writing this article is here:

>If nothing else, Æthelstan's story overturns the centuries-long notion that England was originally a homogeneous culture, says Woodman. It's a misconception that still resurfaces today, but the truth was very different.

Which the article doesn't make very persuasively in my opinion, but whatevs. Also, apparently some historians are ceding the term "Anglo-Saxon" to the far right, along with the English flag? The whole approach is like a self-referential parody of itself.

I've been running niri for months now on my primary desktop, I wrote about it for LWN here: https://lwn.net/Articles/1025866/

"Normal" tiling WMs / compositors just don't work for me, but the tiling model does. Before niri, I used PaperWM and GNOME -- but a GNOME extension can only do so much. I wish the folks doing COSMIC would add scrollable tiling, but unless/until they do I'll probably stick with niri.

What you're missing is how that value comes about. People seem to think it's an infinite fountain but it's more like strip mining the commons.

We also know that AI hype is holding up most of the stock market this point, including the ticker symbols which you don't think of as being for "AI companies". Market optimism at large is coming from the idea that companies won't need employees soon, or that they can keep using AI to de-leverage and de-skill their workforce

20GB @ 100,000 context.

But for some reason... LM studio isnt loading it onto gpu for me?

I just updated to 0.3.28 and still wont load onto gpu.

Switching from Vulkan to rocm. It's now working properly?

https://docs.unsloth.ai/new/ibm-granite-4.0

Fantastic work from unsloth folks as usual.

As it's running in roo code, it's using more like 26GB of vram.

~30TPS

Roo code does not work with it.

Kilo code next. It seems to be about 22GB of vram.

Kilo code works great.

The model however didn't 1 shot my first benchmark. That's pretty bad news for this model given magistral 2509 or apriel 15b are better.

Better on pass 2, still no 100%

3rd pass achieved.

Im predicting it'll be around 30% on livecodebench. Probably like 15% on aiderpolyglot. Very disappointed in its coding capability.

I just found:

https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/granite-4-0-h-small

25.1% on livecodebench. Absolutely deserved.

2% terminal bench.

16% on coding index. Completely deserved.

My point is that to this date everyone was not post-quantum secure, and only the people whom had their messages stored on their servers only can be sure that someone won't read their contents.

Also PGP emails were just an idea that seemed the most basic for me to illustrate an example of selfhosted encrypted messaging. Probably they lack more security features than just post-quantum, compared to the other messengers anyway :)

Any kind of "theoretical valuation for tax purposes" is just fundamentally going to be flawed. They're mixing one concept of value - market price - with an artificial concept they use to try and guess what the market price ought to be, but without any buyers or sellers involved.

I had a problem: too many notes, not enough time to actually study them. No matter how much I tried, managing all that information felt overwhelming. Reading through everything, organizing key points, and then trying to memorize it all. It wasn't working so well.

So, I built a tool to help. It’s a simple website that takes your study notes or any document files and turns them into quizzes and flashcards. You can either upload or type in your notes, and then it will generates questions based on the content. It helped me focus on what I needed to learn instead of wasting time trying to organize everything.

Why not?

These are not new problems. They are ancient and different people have dealt with them with different levels of success. AI has access to all those strategies.

So maybe one day AI dawns Mr. Rogers persona to solve one problem and Abe Lincoln to solve another.

It can do it at scales no individual or group can, so there is potential to nudge the entire chimp troupe in directions never possible before, in ways that "will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills".
