Just another step in cultural and cognitive speciation.

Brains & bodies, the minds that run on them, as well as the levels of consciousnesses with their context-switched/hopping awareness are not build the same, neither passively, nor actively.

If you propose to make the bulk of the people smarter and more competent vs just more productive you end up with smarter voters and more competent participants on the markets and in civil society.

Nothing big would change but smarter voters and news audiences have been a no-go, despite being a no-brainer, forever.

People are supposed to reason themselves into whatever enlightenment shines brightest during the time they grow up.

None of that is your problem. "It" is not everywhere. You can always build your own or join some net that doesn't even bother laughing about this shit. There's too much more.

Anecdote time - I've had their BE550 Wifi 7 router for over a year now and it's been rock solid. Easily does 2Gbps over wifi, never had to reset it once despite having 40+ devices connected to it all the time, the 4x 2.5Gbps ports are super useful.....it is one of their more expensive devices so maybe that's why, but generally it's been very very solid.

> not even the core part of Bitcoin blockchains, which are not vulnerable to quantum computers

Um, what? Shor’s algorithm can take the public key of a wallet (present on any outgoing transaction in the ledger) and produce its private key. So now you can hijack any wallet that has transferred any Bitcoin. Notably only one successful run of the algorithm is needed per wallet, so you could just pick a big one if it takes weeks.

It probably wouldn’t help you mine in practice, sure. Technically it would give you better asymptotic mining performance (via Grover’s algorithm) but almost certainly worse in practice for the foreseeable future.

They restate what the other person said in more correct (as they see them) terms. They're not "contorting" anything, nor are they attributing their version to the other person. I mean, "They're being a fucknugget for riffing off of the other person's words". Jesus, chill...

And yes, they respond based "on their own agenda". That's what all conversation and sharing of opinions entails: telling it from your perspective, and based on what you think it's better.

>rather than replying clearly on their own terms

What you quoted couldn't be clearer, or express the responder's terms any better. Your issue is not that the response is not on their own terms, it's that is not on your terms, where phrasing it similar to what the other person said is supposed to be bad.

But that's more of a you problem. Was just looking at another thread, and chanced on you berating someone for pointing to GNU's website as opposed to writing a set of custom arguments on the spot:

As long as they aren't abusive, people can answer anyway they damn please, including rewording what the parent wrote, or pointing to some link they agree with. Is that a novel concept?

>And I'd get even more relief if they admitted to having been an asshole on purpose and apologized. God forbid, stopped acting this way.

oh, the irony.

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Instead of being rude to a fellow human making an inoffensive remark, you could’ve spent your words being kind and describing the scenario you claim exists. For all you know, maybe they did ask ChatGPT and were unconvinced by the answer.

As a side note, I don’t even understand how your swipe would make sense. If anything, needing ChatGPT is what demonstrates a lack of imagination (having the latter you don’t need the former).

I'm afraid this can't be built on the current net topology which is owned by the Stupid Money Govporation and inherently allows for roadblocks in the flow of information. Only a mesh could solve that.

But the Stupid Money Govporation must be dethroned first, and I honestly don't see how that could happen without the help of an ELE like a good asteroid impact.

The USSR absolutely co-started WWII, the whole meaning of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was to divide Eastern Europe into a Soviet part and a German part. Yes, they had several motives at once. So do regular gangsters. If a gangster teams up with other gangsters for a job, they are usually afraid of one another as well.

"The USSR knew that it was very high on the Nazis' target list (ideologically, Hitler viewed the Bolsheviks as his primary enemy), so Stalin decided to make a rotten deal with him to delay the war by as long as possible. Stalin was cowardly and opportunistic"

Of course the USSR knew, but they also knew that German forces would be engaged in the West, for some time at least. Moscow, together with everyone else, didn't expect France to fold so easily.

BTW I don't consider Stalin particularly cowardly, just psychopathic and evil.

"If it weren't for the Red Army, the Nazis would have physically annihilated the entire Slavic population of Eastern Europe. That was their plan."

True, I acknowledge that, and yet I loathe the USSR.

Imagine a girl caught by a murderer. A rapist comes along, saves her from the murderer, then proceeds to chain her in his house and rape her for several decades. Would you tell the girl "be at least somewhat respectful to your rapist, he saved your life"?

Heck no.

Why are you on HN?

A kid showed up a bunch of big names. That's the equivalent of a kid walking into a bank and somehow making it into the vault, alerting security to the fact that it's possible without actually making off with all of the gold. That's on the bank, not on the kid. Nobody came into your house or stole your property. If they had the police likely wouldn't show up, nor would the case make the newspaper even if - hah, as if that happens - they made an arrest.

The only reason you are hearing about this is because someone at 'bigcorp' didn't want to accept responsibility for their fuckups, and so they used the law to come down on some kid which effectively did them a service, which costs society a large pile of money, further externalizing the cost of their fuckup.

Humans are social creatures. Part of our set of needs is having a community around us, be it family, or friends, or whatever. If we get cut off from community we tend to develop mental problems and die young.

I guess we could AI our way out of this, and create some kind of pretend AI community around ourselves, but I don't think that's workable; we'd always know it was actually AI. Like winning an FPS game against bots isn't actually satisfying.

There are lots of intentional communities (amongst other experiments) where people are trying this stuff out. There are lots of problems, but the root hypothesis; that people are happier when living together and sharing their lives, seems to be confirmed.

But why change the default? Is this in the top 10 things you would do after installing your distro of choice?

To me, this indicates a lack of judgement around what should be prioritised, which is reflected across the many issues the post raises. Naturally judgement is an acquired skill, which novices lack (and which they gain through experience and guidance), but given the big names associated with the project, that doesn't reflect well on their other projects.

A funny thread about this theme: https://x.com/HououinTyouma/status/1978942235413561393

On a serious note. The Chinese will go to great lengths to steal tech that they want. I have heard some interesting stories regarding fake cell towers and phone tapping next to factories and not for some crazy important tech either. Just something the Chinese did not yet know how to do and wanted to compete without spending years of R&D.

The problem with the trauma model is that it would explain the outcomes even if it as false, as almost everyone will have had a traumatic or adverse experience at some point in their lives, and anyone who hasn't has been sheltered to a point that is in itself traumatic.

Telling someone that past trauma is the cause of their problem, and going through some ritual to find and process it will in some sense heal them, is a textbook example of suggestion.

We know this can make people feel better as long as they buy into it, crux being it also works if we say unrestful ancestral spirits or unbalanced humors are at fault.

> They restate what the other person said in more correct (as they see them) terms. They're not "contorting" anything, nor are they attributing their version to the other person.

How is this not a contradiction? They're not contorting their words, they're just restating them with subtle changes to make it "correct". What?

> And yes, they respond based "on their own agenda". That's what all conversation and sharing of opinions entails: telling it from your perspective, and based on what you think it's better.

Yes, and do you not see how clapping back by "cleverly" rewriting someone words would come across as incredibly annoying? This is just a slightly more elaborate version of how children bicker! How do I need to explain this?

> But that's more of a you problem.

It certainly seems that way...

People getting hostile in response to hostility? Oh no, not the irony?! Case in point:

> As long as they aren't abusive, people can answer anyway they damn please, including rewording what the parent wrote,

This WAS abusive, that's my whole issue dude. It'd appear what is and isn't abusive isn't a fundamental force of the universe, and you and a few of your peers here just happen to not find what I - and imo, any average person with a reading comprehension - find immensely abusive.

Only played YINSH, and only a few games. It's nice and I would be eager to play more, but unsure if I would study it deeply myself even if it did become popular. A lot of abstracts tend to blend together in my head as "combinatorial slugfests," where the player with the most RAM in their brain wins out. (YINSH may or may not be like that, don't take my word for it.) It's the primary reason I switched from chess to go, where my propensity to make tactical blunders can at least be offset by larger scale planning and good directional judgement.

He wasn't just involved with GrayJay, he's actually a member of FUTO - the company behind Immich and GrayJay. Now read grandparent comment one more time:

> Wouldn't be surprised if this leads to a lawsuit over monopolistic behavior

His reaction also matters because he's basically the public face for the company on YouTube and has a huge following. You've probably seen a bunch of social media accounts with the "clippy" character as their avatar. That's a movement started by Louis Rossman.

It seems like this, but it actually not true. What's interesting in F1 is that you have to find the right balance between innovation and consistency.

James Vowles, current Williams TP ordered his team to "break everything" in order to improve and change: https://youtu.be/nYzwvTSffiY?t=3129

What is often forgotten is, that all F1 cars are prototypes, they NEED to constantly change and innovate, and every year it starts from the beginning (almost).

There is a fantastic book called Total Competition, which is a conversation between two ex-team principles, one of them Ross Brawn, probably most successful F1 engineer. In it, Brawn says: "But where I think Formula One is very strong is in the culture. If you wanted to develop a concept and to drive things forward at maximum pace, utilize it in Formula One. The composite companies love Formula One because we are willing to try things. If they’ve got a new resin system or a new type of fibre, they give it to the Formula One teams to explore for them, to look at the applications and come back with the feedback. If they put it in the aerospace industry, five years later they would have an answer. Put it into Formula One and five months later they have got an answer"

I don't think GCC has a special case for handling COM classes. However, I found that GCC uses "Itanium CXX ABI" on Linux which specifies vtable layout which accidentally might match the layout of COM classes. However, it is not guaranteered (for example, by C++ standards) that other compilers use the same layout.
by warpspin | 2025-10-23 09:07:32+00:00
Plus, in theory you'd also need reproducible builds for everything because who knows what your compiler did to the source ;-)

Reality is, as you already implied: in practice you cannot "be careful" except avoiding obvious malware.

At SOME point you have to trust SOMEONE, unless you use TempleOS in which case you can trust whatever god you have.

It is but this established pattern is well standardised & documented by the public suffix list project. There's generally two conventions followed for this pattern:

1. Use a separate dedicated domain (Immich didn't do this - they're now switching to one in response to this)

2. List the separate dedicated domain in the public suffix list. As far as I can tell Immich haven't mentioned this.

Hey guys and gals, before giving me a downvote do you have any resolutions for me? I've been searching for it quite a long time, and would accept any drivers or color profiles that could help. However it seems that color profiles are not a remedy. I was even thinking of switching back to HP but I'm scared of toner prices and remote bricking

I have a bunch, but one that I rarely see mentioned but use all the time is memo(1) (https://github.com/aktau/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/memo).

It memoizes the command passed to it.

$ memo curl https://some-expensive.com/api/call | jq . | awk '...'

Manually clearing it (for example if I know the underlying data has changed:

$ memo -c curl https://some-expensive.com/api/call

In-pipeline memoization (includes the input in the hash of the lookup):

$ cat input.txt | memo -s expensive-processor | awk '...'

This allows me to rapidly iterate on shell pipelines. The main goal is to minimize my development latency, but it also has positive effects on dependencies (avoiding redundant RPC calls). The classic way of doing this is storing something in temporary files:

$ curl https://some-expensive.com/api/call > tmpfile $ cat tmpfile | jq . | awk '...'

But I find this awkward, and makes it harder than necessary to experiment with the expensive command itself.

$ memo curl https://some-expensive.com/api/call | jq . | awk '...' $ memo curl --data "param1=value1" https://some-expennsive.com/api/call | jq . | awk '...'

Both of those will run curl once.

NOTE: Currently environment variables are not taken into account when hashing.

Reminds me of a scene from Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson (great book)

...

"Preparing my report," Lawrence says. "Doesn't do me any good to make observations if I don't send them out."

"Quite right," Margaret says thoughtfully.

This is an excellent time to stoke the chapel's pathetic iron stove. He puts in a few scoops of precious coal, his worksheet, and the page from the one-time pad that he has just used to do the encryption. "Should warm up now," he says.

"Oh, lovely," Margaret says, "I'm all shivery."

Lawrence recognizes this as his cue to initiate a rescue operation. About fifteen seconds later, he is up there in the hammock with Margaret. To the great surprise of neither one of them, the quarters are awkward and tight. There is some flopping around which ends with Lawrence on his back and Margaret on top of him, her thigh between his.

She is shocked to discover that he has an erection. Ashamed, apparently, that she did not anticipate his need. "You poor dear!" she exclaims. "Of course! How could I have been so dense! You must have been so lonely here." She kisses his cheek, which is nice since he is too stunned to move. "A brave warrior deserves all the support we civilians can possibly give him," she says, reaching down with one hand to open his fly.

Then she pulls the grey wool over her head and burrows to a new position. Lawrence Pritchard Waterhouse is stunned by what happens next. He gazes up at the ceiling of the chapel through half-closed eyes and thanks God for having sent him what is obviously a German spy and an angel of mercy rolled into one adorable package.

When it's finished, he opens his eyes again and takes a deep breath of cold Atlantic air. He is seeing everything around him with newfound clarity. Clearly, Margaret is going to do wonders for his productivity on the cryptological front--if he can only keep her coming back.

> What happened with AWS outage recently

I'm not hearing about any large lawsuits or customers migrating off the apps affected by the AWS outage... hell I'm not even hearing about migrations from AWS itself... meaning every party in the chain seems to be satisfied with what they're getting from each other despite the outage.

> What will we do if a major outage or technical issue occurs then and no person around knows what’s really going on?

If the outage is major enough we'll suddenly magically find enough money to actually pay an expert to figure it out. But turns out the world doesn't end when some bullshit apps go down and prevent people from working their bullshit jobs for a day.

> Imagine a world where most programmers are primarily LLM prompters with a very shallow understanding of core programming skills or even operational skills pertaining to an app, framework or library. What will we do if a major outage or technical issue occurs then and no person around knows what’s really going on?

You could make the same claim to make a case for the usage of any technology that simplifies the coding work, ie: using Java instead of assembly, usage of AWS instead of implementing your own infra, etc. With higher level languages, by freeing up developers from having to worry about specifics of memory management or syscalls, they could become more productive and focus more on the actual problems to solve. Some still understand the underlying because they work on that low level layer, but this is not needed anymore for most.

I think LLMs are another step in that direction, although with caveats.

Russia is known for doing exactly that (not a story). Looks like China is borrowing from the same playbook. China has also planted “sleeper” spies, who join companies at a junior level, then rise through the ranks, until they can access real stuff. Wouldn’t surprise me, if the US and Israel have done the same.

America has a bling problem; especially younger folks. It’s our Achilles heel. There are Americans who will sell out our nation for a pittance, just so they can strut around, looking cool.

Gemini CLI is definitely a much worse client than some of the other agent clients like opencode, cursor etc. But from my experience, that isn't because of the model quality. I get better quality responses from the gemini web chat interface than chatgpt, claude etc.

Of course my experience is anecdotal, but we hardly have any decent benchmarks to compare these models. I suspect most benchmarks have leaked into training sets, rendering them useless anyway.

No idea why a mattress would need a server and an app... still, I find that they rolled out a fix quite quickly. They acknowledged [1] the issue just a couple of days ago and now they have a fix? At most companies, they would open a ticket, promise to work on it at some point, then never actually ship it as other features are more important, so hats off to them for actually following through and shipping a fix so quickly...

Which also makes me wonder, if it was this easy, why didn't anyone think of this before? Or most likely they did, but they always deprioritized it.

So many features for resiliency and offline mode never get implemented because we are working on shiny features like integrating an AI chatbot and whatnot...

Same, I worked on several OVI projects in related to places and search. Anyway, long dead, buried, and forgotten of course.

I was in a few of the early meetings on the Helsinki site where I overheard some executives expressing their intention to go after Google. These people had some balls. No clue whatsoever unfortunately. But it was the right kind of ballsy move that Nokia could have pulled off with a bit more vision.

The name was more or less a LOL WHUT?! kind of thing and it flopped horribly with consumers. But still there was some nice stuff in there that wasn't half bad. It's just that the whole branding and rudderless direction doomed it. And of course it was all tied to a failing device software strategy. So when that failed the rest failed as well. I'm not even sure when they pulled the plug on OVI exactly. It was such a non event in the grand scheme of things (mass layoffs, sale of the phone division to MS and subsequent closure, etc.) Must have been around 2013ish I would say. I was gone by then.

Literally no one said there isn't a problem. No one said that. But disagreeing about a 'state of decline' when the facts of the quality of improvement of the lives of the entire population has increased over a 30 year period disputes the rhetoric of 'state of decline'. Decline from what? When Apartheid made the lives of 10% good and the lives of 90% shit?

We agree on the analysis of the evolution of ad server architectures and their relevance to Web3 infrastructure. The transition from centralized delivery to decentralized coordination highlights a critical need for distributed decision engines, particularly in managing tokenized engagement and wallet-based identities. The replacement of cookies with cryptographic identifiers, as noted, offers a promising foundation for transparent monetization without reliance on surveillance. That is a principal to the DeBros ecosystem.

Maybe you will find this useful, if you are into web3 projects and information. https://debros.io
