This discovery is only of interest because the Iron-Age, as per standard-theory, started around 1200 BC. in the Caucuses/Anatolia or the near-East - which fits with another theory which claims that this allowed the "Aryans" to invade India with their technological superiority around this same time and replace the (dark-skinned) natives genetically.

(Note: the above is obviously a caricature, but current versions of theory don't change the structure, only the emphasis on "race").

No one would care about a copper-smelt site from 500 BC.; nor would they care about this one if the Indian archaeological claims were accepted (but that one also destroys centuries of Western history-making about India, and all the social-theories that depend on it).

This is all a digression from the main claims, so I'd prefer that people don't pull on this thread. For more information on how 'race' was ingested into Indology, I'd refer the interested reader to the excellent book by Adluri/Bagchi [0].

We are definitely not trying to be the next Figma. Figma does not solve this by any measure, quite the opposite. Figma could have been a web design tool, it is not. It is a vector drawing app.

Nordcraft is a completely different type of tool. It is based on HTML and CSS instead of layers and absolute positioning.

For at least a decade now every UI redesign has been useless chasing own's tail. Only rearranging items and adding white spaces. Android, JetBrains, MacOS, iOS, Windows. Sometimes I use a relict software or device with UI from 10-15 years ago and it was perfectly fine. Modern UIs introduce no advantage, even icons are not getting prettier anymore.

beyond the unihertz existing, I think that there's probably an interesting space for a device that works on the idea of intermittent internet (i.e. wifi)

Offline maps being a big one that you could maybe "just" do. If you really need to get the device online pull out your phone.

Though I feel like there's loads of stuff that are on LTE etc. Just... they're real companies doing real things and not people hacking together one-offs. Think agtech, vending machines etc.

With Rust there are ways to do that on embedded (no heap). A wrapper StaticCell holds the allocation, then when you are ready you intialise it with the inner value. From then on work with a mut reference to the inner value. Being a bit verbose is the main downside AFAIK.

The cheapest noname 4G USB stick you can buy now probably has a Qualcomm MSM8916 in it, and runs, I shit you not, Android.

You're not wrong, see also [1].

> and Qualcomm wouldn't even want to talk to you unless you are at least "MOQ 100000+"

These[2,3,4] definitely aren't MoQ "100000+" (I know this market), and yet they have gotten their hands on Android chipsets somehow, [2] even includes a cellular modem. Not cheap devices by any means though.

We have all sorts of RCTs, blinded studies, placebo controlled studies, MR studies that look at genetics, meta-analysis, etc. etc. etc. that all support the causal link of cholesterol... I've linked literally dozens of these in the comments for this article. If you care, feel free to look at my recent comment history - it's all in there and all my claims sourced.

The OVERWHELMING evidence is that cholesterol is a hugely important causal factor. Overwhelming to the point that we can't do controlled trials for people with CVD risk with cohorts not on a statin in this day and age - it wouldn't pass ethical review, because we have so much data. It is not ethical to withhold lifesaving medication from people when we know it is lifesaving.

I think the point of the game is that it is almost impossible (the character is already at the end of the rope in the beginning, surprisingly realistic, since I been there), showing how hostile and random the corporate office jobs are - for anybody, but especially if you have any type of disabling factor.

But instead people complain ”But it is not a fun game :cry:”. Sigh.

Training off data you published for public consumption, e.g. pretty much user-generated content on social media, or anything publicly accessible on the web, is one thing. Training off private conversations is a whole different thing. I doubt any major company is doing the latter. Would be a PR and legal firestorm. Which doesn't serve the interests of companies training AI models either.

That's not about wages, but labor force participation. What changed around 1979 was that workers who were freed up due to automation, were employed in lower paid service roles that's why wages stopped following productivity. But they weren't left unemployed - through 1970s unemployment was quite high by today's standards, we are living in times of longest ever sustained low unemployment.

> Merely believing that such a thing (a halting oracle) doesn’t exist, isn’t something I meant to call presumptive, only believing that you can know a-priori (with certainty) that such things cannot exist.

If you think that I was making that case, then you have misunderstood something important.

Constructivism is a statement about what kinds of arguments will convince me that things exist.

Could things exist that I don't believe in? Absolutely! There could well be a bank account with my name on it that I don't know about. Its existence is possible, and my lack of belief in it is no skin off of its back. But I still don't believe that it exists.

Similarly, the Platonists could be correct. There could be an omniscient God whose perfect mind gives existence to a perfect system of mathematics, beyond human comprehension. I have no way to prove that there isn't such a God, and therefore that there isn't such a perfect mathematics.

However the potential for such things to exist is a point of theology. I do not believe in their existence. Just as I do not believe in the existence of Santa. In neither case can I prove that they don't exist. And if you choose to believe in them, that's your business. Not mine.

There is nothing presumptive in my laying out the rules of reason that I will accept as convincing to me. There is a lot of presumption if anyone else comes along and tells me that I should think differently about unprovable propositions.

Now it happens to be the case that from the rules of reason that I use, I provably can't be convinced of the existence of certain things. That's a mathematical theorem. But the fact that I can't be convinced, doesn't prove that you shouldn't be convinced. You are free to be convinced of all of the unprovable assertions that you wish. And it is also true that on something like this, I have no way to convince you that it doesn't exist.

On meaningfulness, meaning is in the eye of the beholder. For example there are people who are willing to pay a million dollars for a century old stamp which was misprinted with the airplane upside-down. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_Jenny to verify that.) They clearly find great meaning in that stamp. But I don't.

So again, you're free to find meaning in whatever you want. But you're in the wrong to object that I don't find meaning in what you consider important.

No quite the opposite. I have been around for a long time :)

It used to be completely normal for companies to have developers who worked in php or ruby on rails and have designers take care of the css.

You are absolutely right that in the early days many UI designers came from graphic design and worked in photoshop. But the fact that they also existed in some companies isn't really relevant.

There's also the alternative of announcing this breakage publicly to electron beforehand; and the alternative of having a hack and publicly announcing it will be removed in a year. There's even the alternative of just announcing the caveat at all, so your users aren't unwitting guinea pigs. If they don't want to support a million workarounds forever, they don't have to it's not all or nothing.

Yeah, in parallel. They don't call it yolo mode for nothing! I have Claude configured to commit units of work to git, and after reviewing the commits by hand, they're cleanly separated be file. The todo's don't conflict in the first place though; eg changes to the admin api code won't conflict with changes to submission frontend code so that's the limited human mechanism I'm using for that.

I'll admit it's a bit insane to have it make changes in the same directory simultaneously. I'm sure I could ask it to use git worktrees and have it use separate directories, but I haven't (needed to) try that (yet), so I won't comment on how well it would actually do with that.

Give men a manly job they strive for and deserve: Army service. Expand armed forces and military industry, paid for by increased taxes, to absorb all young men who can find neither work nor spouse. And just go on conquest, to expand the limits of the free world.

Because birthrates do not really depend on those men since they can't marry anyway, nor is the economy, they are pretty much expendable and Soviet style loss rate will be acceptable. With that tolerance to losses, America can achieve massive victories.

Quality of the future generation will also improve since women will all have kids - alone - from a small pool of high quality men (those who can get laid on Tinder).

Once the military men retire from service, they can be given property and positions of power in the new lands they take, to create a core of newly forming elites, which will be fair given their sacrifice and will give them equitable, deserved station in life.

CrazyGames | https://about.crazygames.com/ | REMOTE (in Europe) | Full-time | Multiple roles

With recent technologies such as WebGPU and WebAssembly, the browser is quickly becoming a powerful gaming platform. High-quality 3D graphics and near-native level performance are now possible without the need for downloads, apps, or platform-specific development. Our browser games platform is already reaching more than 45 million people per month. We are self-funded, profitable, remote-first, and fast-growing.

We are currently looking for multiple people to bring our product, data, and adops to the next level.

Please note that we're looking for people who can work on a European timezone and are ideally based in Europe (which includes the UK for those in doubt).

What I do:

- Turn ambiguous SME workflows into shipped AI/LLM products (0-1 -> scale)

- Double conversion (+100%), launch to millions of users, and lead cross-functional teams (6–12; coord. ~50)

- Build pragmatic delivery: discovery with real users, thin slices, instrumented loops

About me:

I’m empathetic with users and exacting about results: I’ll sit with customers to find what they need (not just what they ask), then drive an executable roadmap and delivery process. However I’m not strong at outbound prospecting. My strengths are inbound discovery, executive alignment, and durable partnerships. Roles I fit into: AI Product Manager / Product Lead / Head of Product (AI/LLM)

What you could do is the "opera mini trick", AKA one beefy server, shared between many users, used to run heavyweight browsers. The pre-rendered DOM from these browsers could then be optimized and compressed, HTMX / Liveview style, and sent to the device.

The key insight here is that most smartphones are idle most of the time, so such a server (or group of servers) would need far less processing power than all the smartphones it replaces.

Given a Mitmproxy trace, modern llms could probably quickly build you simple apps for most popular services, leaving the heavyweight browsers for the long tail.

I'm not very familiar with Helix keybindings myself but if there are vim equivalents (and if they're actually implemented, a fair amount of mappings are missing right now) then you should be able to! There's a `motion` excmd you can use in your mappings.

I don't think it'll be possible to implement multi-cursor support through the config though unfortunately.
Show HN: Bookmark GPT Pro – Full-content search and AI chat for Chrome bookmarks
by g-savitha | 2025-10-02 06:59:41+00:00
Hi HN!

I built Bookmark GPT Pro to solve my own problem: I had hundreds of bookmarks but Chrome's search only does keyword matching.

What it does: - Full-content search - searches titles, headings, descriptions, and full page text (not just titles) - AI chat interface to ask questions about your bookmark collection - Example: search "performance" and find "Making React Apps Faster" even if "performance" is only in the page content

Technical approach: - Weighted keyword search (title=50pts, headings=25pts, content=10pts) - AI chat powered by OpenAI or Ollama - Ollama support means you can run completely local/offline - No server-side storage - privacy-first design

Why this matters: Traditional folder organization breaks down at scale. Chrome only searches bookmark titles. Full-content search finds bookmarks based on what's actually on the page.

Privacy: With Ollama, everything runs on your machine. For cloud models, we only transmit encrypted queries - no bookmark storage.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/bookmark-gpt-pro/de...

Troubleshooting Guide: https://g-savitha.github.io/bookmarkgptpro-info/troubleshoot...

Built this over a few months of weekends. Would love HN's feedback on the approach and implementation!

This is a wildly antagonistic take.

It's apparent that the meaning of the quote is true to the parent commenter, regardless of whether or not the attribution is accurate.

The attribution being inaccurate does not rob the quote of it's meaning.

> I could have said the same thing.

But you didn't, and would never have, until you saw the quote for yourself. To claim otherwise is to lie, which you seem pretty passionately opposed to doing. Should I demand an apology from you, now?

Not only offer them - if they have children in the house, they are forced to use the child-friendly version, no exceptions. Or when we switch to ipv6 each device can have a static IP and they go on a list (child or adult) and those devices sit on a different subnet.

As bad as it is to treat adults as children, it is equally (or worse) to treat children as adults.

Parental control only get you so far. Even if we conjure the perfect tech system to manage this, remember that children were being exploited long before the internet. Bending the internet will not solve the problem, just alleviate the current flavour of child abuse, and force it back offline.

As someone who loves vertical tabs, I was disappointed with Vivaldi's vertical tab behavior/implementation compared to Edge and Brave. I used Vivaldi full time for half a year before deciding to revert back to Edge for work and Brave for personal.

Of course you can customize with CSS and other types of things, but I'd ideally like my browser to just work well and be designed well.

Having said that, I miss some features from Vivaldi. However, I am much happier using vertical tabs in other browsers that have that feature.

> I think that’s a consequence of the fact that multiple users can simultaneously edit a sheet.

No, it's not. Built-in functions like SUM recalculate instantly, and custom formatting rules (e.g. "color green if above zero") get applied instantly, even when there are multiple users editing a sheet. Running custom functions and triggers on the server is just a decision they made.

You are right that tools don't solve problems, but they can cause them.

The problem here is that designers are limited by their tools. Figma can only do 10% of what CSS is capable of.

We can try to work around those issues with closer collaboration early on, but the truth is that most of the problems aren't universal. They are constructed

Heat is an issue with Macs too: if it wasn't, you'd have Air chassis with the performance of M4 Max/Ultra.

Yes, they've done some nice things to get the performance and energy efficiency up, but it's not like they've got some magic bullet either. From what I've seen in reviews, Intel is not so far off with things like Ultra 7 258V. If they caught up to TSCM on the process node, they would probably match Apple too.

RSA may well be be deprecated long before quantum computing can break it. Post-quantum cryptography standards are already being deployed: GnuPG 2.5 has introduced support for Kyber (ML-KEM, FIPS-203). Kyber is added in in OpenSSH 9.9 (September 2024) as a hybrid post-quantum key exchange algorithm and made the default key exchange mechanism in OpenSSH 10.0 (April 2025). The implementation uses a hybrid approach, combining classical cryptography (X25519) with ML-KEM-768 for key exchange (mlkem768x25519-sha256). OpenSSH plans to add support for post-quantum signature algorithms in the future. OpenSSL 3.5.0 (April 2025) supports ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA. https://medium.com/asecuritysite-when-bob-met-alice/a-long-g...

The missing context in the post by John is an exposition of why progress has been slow - decoherence and error rates - and what the rate of progression can be when these obstacles have been resolved. Shor's algorithm requires fault-tolerant quantum computing, which didn't exist in any form until recently. Tphysical error rate must be lower than the threshold required. Different research groups and companies, using various qubit technologies have already demonstrated techniques and elements of below-threshold error correction. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08449-y

I think this article misses the point. I don't think many engineers are averse to collaborating, advocating for their work and using soft skills. Politics also entails lots of complex human relationships - favoritism, rivalries, jealousy, egomania etc. these play out in different ways in different orga depending on how people and teams are incentivised and arranged. But the net result for the engineer trying to navigate this is can be a lot of wasted energy and frustration. Not always of course, and some orgs really don't have as much of a problem. I suspect it's more common in larger orgs with a traditional corporate culture.

Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'm currently a backend engineer developing features and improving infra for an online game with millions of daily active users. I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!
