I get very tired of comparing every thing OpenAI does or says to all of these historic tech moments as if they’re remotely comparable

- Sam Altman gets fired, Steve Jobs moment

- Custom GPTs, App Store moment

- Says “hardware”, iPhone moment

- Apps SDK, browser moment

To me it comes across as forcing the idea that there is progress, and it cheapens these historical events when OpenAI inevitably drops the ball.

If it’s that revolutionary, the tech should stand on its own two feet. I don’t think browsers needed to compare themselves to “the terminal moment” — they were just useful and did their own thing. The original LLM boom wasn’t an “amazon moment,” it was just people using the product a bunch

I do not believe the problems are contemporary in nature. We've had the Great Depression, the Long Depression of 1879 - 1899 etc etc.

Labor value and market value have been out of sync since the beginning of market capitalism. You might have a point about the end of Bretton-Woods making it worse, but it has been broken since the beginning.

>If not, don't bother them with LLM corporate-speak masquerading as support. Let's be honest: they didn't "part ways" with the company--they were fired.

I can think of few more grotesquely slimy developments in the last century or so of human communications than the blandly saccharine corporate-speak that now prevails in government and business like an ever-spreading parasitic infection. It permeates nearly everything and is used as a shield by shitbag executives and grossly corrupt organizations to disguise their true nature and the many examples of mendacity that their activities really involve.

Now we also see it being applied by the actual people, real people, communicating informally with real other people inside these same organizations, even when they apparently mean well in their own brainwashed, dimwitted way.

If I ever had anyone write a goodbye message to me in which they described me getting my ass fired as "parting ways", i'd plainly tell them to shove such nonsense wording up their ass if they really give a shit about me, or about being human.

> I also hate just about all Jim Carrey films (except maybe the Truman Show) but many other people seem to love them. Perhaps Sora just isn't for me.

What do you think about Cable Guy? It is essentially a somewhat social realist movie about the total nightmare of having a typical Jim Carrey character in your life. You might like it.

Hi HN,

I built hashmate.app as a new platform for devs, hackers, and crypto folks. The goal was to focus on the features that actually matter — less noise, less nonsense.

It’s still in progress, and I’d love your feedback on what features are most useful, anything confusing or frustrating in the UI/UX, and ideas for improvement.

The platform currently includes a snippet feature that lets you save and share code quickly. I’m planning more features based on feedback from early users.

All constructive criticism is welcome — I want to make this genuinely useful for the community.

Thanks!

Telling what? Did you actually listen to the talk that you linked to, or read the top comment there by Chris Rackauckas?

> Given all that, outside of depending heavily on DifferentialEquations.jl, I don't know why someone would pick Julia over Python + Rust.

See his last slide. And no, they didn't replace their Julia use in its entirety with Rust, despite his organization being a Rust shop. Considering Rust as a replacement for Julia makes as much sense to me as to considering C as a replacement for Mathematica; Julia and Mathematica are domain specific (scientific computation) languages, not general systems programming languages.

Neither Julia nor Mathematica is a good fit for embedded device programming.

I also find it amusing how you criticize Julia while praising Python (which was originally a "toy" scripting language succeeding ABC, but found some accidental "gaps" to fit in historically) within the narrative that you built.

> In any non-toy Julia program that's not going to be the case.

Why?

>No-government France

Ironic you bring this up as government workers are expected to work without pay during the shutdown.

France has a fraction of the crime of the US. They have plenty of immigrants.

Healthcare outcomes are significantly better.

Greece, while having less billionaires, has a significantly longer life expectancy than the US.

I guess if you're a billionaire America offers lower taxes. For everyone else it's a raw deal. The main issue is if you're poor life is hell, and it's very easy to fall off.

No country is perfect, but our healthcare system alone puts us below most developed countries.

As a bonus even if you leave the US you're still expected to pay taxes. Aside from Eritrea, no one other country does this.

This is the “speculation is bad” take with a side of naïveté about how markets work.

Open an order book. Prices and quantities aren’t decoration; they’re live telemetry for supply, demand, and how tight the crowd’s consensus is at each level. That’s information, full stop.

A human (or machine) trader forms a view of fair value against that tape. The book helps decide how to trade—size, urgency, venue—regardless of motive: arbitrage, hedge, speculation, investment, cash-out. Intent doesn’t change the math.

Prints are messages. Every execution updates everyone else’s priors. More prints → more information → smoother discovery.

Make the book sparse—only a handful of trades per day—and watch confidence collapse. With weaker consensus and wider error bars, people step back. Liquidity thins, friction rises. That’s not morality; that’s microstructure.

Time horizon doesn’t invalidate the signal. A strategy that unfolds over days and one that resolves in milliseconds both add to the dataset. If it trades, it teaches. More resolution in others’ behavior means better prices and deeper books. That’s the game.

For anyone who either doesn't want a GUI-based workflow or wants a lot of custom behavior, I would encourage you to roll your own tool, either by yourself or with an agent. I did this at work and the tool became very usable in short order, building on itself in a virtuous cycle with built-in handling for the quirks of our engineering org and my own preferences. The codebase I ended up with was quite ugly, but the problem space of doing this for local dev is small enough to be manageable.

> you can do better!

I suspect not. You seem to be assuming the land the solar sits on can't be put to other uses as well. Clearly this is not true in urban settings. There is usually a building sitting under the solar panels, doing whatever it did before.

But it turns out it's not true even in agricultural settings. You can still use pasture under solar panels for grazing. In fact, on marginal land the solar panels actually increase the output of grazing, because the shading increases water retention.

That's putting aside what has already been pointed out to you repeatedly: a solar panel costs around $100/m2. Agricultural land costs around $1/m2. The cost of the land is almost a rounding error.

We were a startup and I was the "management", but it was mostly for HR reasons. The original dev who convinced me to try Julia ended up leaving, and when we pivoted to a new niche that required a rethinking of the codebase, we took the opportunity to re-write in C# (mostly because a we _needed_ C# to develop a plugin, and it would simplify things if everything was C#).

Well, considering her son ended up on fentanyl, probably not very able to tell some things, yeah.

"I'm sorry kid, I know you probably have aspirations and all that shit, but due to a host of technical reasons we don't care about any of that. Here's this fentanyl instead, either shoot it or go sell it to the next loser. And say hi to your mom from me - she's an absolutely remarkable woman."

Last week, the Chinese government ordered Apple to remove several widely used messaging apps—WhatsApp, Threads, Signal, and Telegram—from its app store. [..] In a statement, Apple said that it was told to remove the apps because of “national security concerns,” adding that it is “obligated to follow the laws in the countries where we operate, even when we disagree.” [but they don't disagree so much that they'd stop locking their devices against their users] - https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/apple_appstore_china_cen...

Apple happily locks you out of your own devices, then cries "just complying with local governments" when those locks are used against their users. They're the person holding you down while others kick you. Every bit as guilty - especially when they see their users kicked again and again, yet continue holding them down.

Indeed, the scale matters a lot. With that said, a ponzi always has beneficiaries.

With the help of war or without, it's up to the beneficiaries.

Here's a non-parallel and unoptimized implementation of that operation in Go:

func _mm512_permutex2var_epi8(a, idx, b [64]uint8) [64]uint8 { var dst [64]uint8 for j := 0; j < 64; j++ { i := idx[j] src := a if i&0b0100_0000 != 0 { src = b } dst[j] = src[i&0b0011_1111] } return dst }

Basically, for a lookup table of 8-bit values, you need only 1 instruction to perform up to 64 lookups simultaneously, for each 128 bytes of table.

Not according to the people that coined the phrase "radical ignorance".

"While there are different types of knowledge and many ways to make it visible, there are also several types of ignorance and different ways in which it might escape the subject's consciousness. For example, while many instances of ignorance fall into the category of unknown unknowns, where an agent is not only ignorant about something but also about her/his state of ignorance, other instances of ignorance fall into the category of ignorance in disguise, where an agent is not only ignorant about her/his ignorance, but also mistakes his/her misbeliefs for valid knowledge, i.e. the ignorance is disguised by misbeliefs accounted as knowledge. Radical ignorance is exactly a phenomenon of this last type. It is very difficult to explore radical ignorance; nevertheless, the so-called Dunning-Kruger effect (Kruger and Dunning 1999) is an example of how such a phenomenon might manifest itself in everyday life."

One of us experiencing irony...

That's some impressive work on the attackers part having that whole fake landing page ready to go, and a pretty convincing phishing email.

I'm don't know much about crypto so I'm not sure what makes them call the scam 'not very plausible' and say it 'probably generated $0 for the attackers', is that something that can be verified by checking the wallet used in that fake landing page?

What a blandly stupid post. Imagine the person you write to, who got fired and is now worrying about their job prospects, kid's school, house payments etc, and other practical things, getting some saccharine note of half-baked "concern" in which you start with describing their having their ass having been canned as "parting ways".

This kind of neutered corporate-speak has invasively permeated every level of modern business, government and organization discourse, it's downright revolting to see it also drain down into informal personal communication from one human being to another.

Yeah, they definitely got greedy with it. My go-to example is to point out the fact that In-N-Out used to be the fast food option for when you were willing to pay a few extra bucks to be served a better burger by someone who didn't look like they wanted to kill themselves. Now they're the cheapest option, by a substantial margin, and they didn't change a damn thing.

Let me try adjusting for a very low level of reading comprehension:

1. All goods have capped consumption. There are no goods without this feature.

2. The cap might be very high.

3. If you want to argue that one good differs from another good by virtue of capped consumption...

3(a). It is not enough to show that a cap exists;

3(b). Instead, you must show that the cap is actually achieved.

4. The reason for this is that the cap exists for all goods.

5. Books do not come anywhere close to reaching their consumption cap. The consumption of books is just as unbounded as the consumption of immortality pills.

I wonder how much we've learned from the Saturn V project where the majority of the crucial knowledge (including for the machines that build the parts for the machines that build the parts) was undocumented. Hopefully a lot but maybe we just forward evolve instead.

I'm always impressed that America's moribund manufacturing industry nonetheless makes prodigious amounts of expensive vehicles. It feels like one year I was hearing about the terrible failure that the F-35 was and the next year I looked up and we've got more than a thousand of them - enough to dwarf any other conventional air force.

This is what I'm using right now. I like that it has a built-in "reader mode" where it fetches the target article from the website and removes all the crud.

But I do have a wishlist of creature-comfort items that would probably never make it in:

* I go days/weeks without reading anything and trying to find out where I left off is a big pain. There doesn't seem to be a way to sort chonologicaly (only reverse).

* The only difference between read/unread items is a tiny gray dot in front of the article title. (I'd rather have the unread items stand out more from the read ones, with a different background, bold text, etc.)

* It would be nice to have a per-feed setting of whether to show the article as it appears in the RSS feed, or go fetch it from the web in reader mode.

Okay so, now that I've had time after work to play with it... it doesn't work like in the video! The video shows /memories, but it's /memory, and when I run the command, it seems to be listing out the various CLAUDE.md files, and just gives you a convenient way to edit them.

I wonder if the feature got cut for scope, if I'm not in some sort of beta of a better feature, or what.

How disappointing!

WINE has basically become a gaming wrapper at this point. There are not many (modern) apps outside of games that run on WINE. However, games run great!

Ok, but I've worked with people who are pretty good with web dev, but I guarantee you they don't know how memory gets requested from the operating system.

Like, sure it helps in some contexts, but in their context it would largely be irrelevant.

For the wast majority of people, it's fine for them to know basic tradeoffs between stdlib container types. Most web performance problems today come from misusing tools, whether container types, bad algorithms, memory leaks (and I don't think knowing how an OS manages memory would help them in JS for example), DOM pollution, or oversized assets or whatever. And my take is that that people are often too overworked to care about it, rather than lacking awareness about these things lol

On the other hand, if you're a systems engineer, then you absolutely do needs to know all of this stuff.

And I bet you they'd navigate stuff like better than a systems engineer, because that's more useful to their day to day!

Why?

That's what the bill's intentions are.

If you think it won't work or not be effective that doesn't change the stated intention.

If you think one or more of the proponents are lying that doesn't change what the article should state unless there is evidence

They already said "aimed at" which implies that's the goal instead of writing "that will stop child..."

It's not an opinion piece they are simplifying conveying information from both sides. The article even details that there is an opposition to the bill.

Hey everyone After years of manually building admin dashboards and CRUD APIs for every project, I got tired of repeating the same boilerplate — so I built NextMin, a two-part system that automates it:

@airoom/nextmin-node – a Node.js server package that reads your JSON schemas and dynamically generates a REST API with validation, relations, permissions, and role-based access.

@airoom/nextmin-react – a React (Next.js compatible) admin interface that automatically renders forms, tables, and filters from those schemas.

Together, they make backend + admin generation as simple as:

npm i @airoom/nextmin-node @airoom/nextmin-react

You drop in your JSON schema, and it instantly spins up:

CRUD endpoints

Tailwind + HeroUI admin panel

Live schema reload

Role & permission system

File uploads via S3/MinIO

Docs: https://nextmin.gscodes.dev

Would love your feedback — How would you extend a schema-driven system like this? What’s missing for you to use it in production?

> This is, in fact, how all of our infrastructure is secured at Fly.io; specifically, we get everything behind an IdP (in our case: Google’s) and have it require phishing-proof MFA.

Every system is only as secure as its weakest link. If the company's CEO is idiotic enough to pull credentials from 1Password and manually copy-past them on a random website whose domain does not match the service that issued it, what is to say they won't do the same for an MFA token?

> that's not "political intercourse"

The full phrase is "the political intercourse of Governments and nations" [1].

Clausewitz's point is that if "such intercourse is broken off by war, and that a totally different state of things ensues, subject to no laws but its own," then not only does international law become irrelevant, but diplomatic resolutions to war impossible. Rejecting that war is a continuation of politics underwrites atrocity. (If war only happens as a last resort, and you are at war, it follows that you've exhasuted all non-military avenues to ending the war.)

> These military ideas of war are romantic fantasies

Clausewitz wasn't a military romanticist. To the extent here are romantic ideals at play, it's in pretending war isn't a continuation of politics.

> I'm sure the victims of all the holocausts in human history will be heartened

Why is this relevant to the correctness of the theory? Should we reject the heat-death hypothsis because it's uncomfortable?

I've already argued why rejecting war as a continuation of politics rejects diplomacy as a way to end wars. The Third Reich is a good demonstrator for why rejecting the political component of war is dangerous on the other end. Appeasing Hitler makes sense if parties will only pursue war as a last resort. Acknowledging his political interests, on the other hand, would have shown why--in that case--appeasement was destabilising.

It speaks volumes that simply circumventing a firewall is "fucking with" a regime.

I'm guessing Iran is similar to China (restrictions on GPS software etc).

They may be simply trying to efficiently vacation.

Having a way to get information out if mistreated can make mistreatment simply not happen.

The Persian people are very friendly, but they're held hostage by a lunatic fringe.

When you blame the user for circumventing as firewall, it's akin to blaming a battered woman for "instigating" her man.

Mature authoritarian regimes do things old fashioned -- they put a minder on you, and keep an eye out.

If Iran is too poor or stupid to take that approach, then maybe it's a good thing if a single crack in their firewall brings humpty dumpty tumbling down.

That's the stuff! I've got it doing MQTT into Home Assistant at my house, and CSV into a pipe to a Python script for a commercial temperature monitoring and alerting app. The commercial app is the one that happens to be near a parking lot, but I also periodically get cars showing up on Home Assistant too.

rtl_433 has been great. The ability to capture unknown-to-it signals and build decoders on the command line is really nice. I've got some cheapie driveway motion sensors that I built a decoder for. It was exceptionally easy and all the config was runtime.
