The reverse can also be true, I've done 2x10km commutes for much of my adult working life and even if you wanted to push it to the point of sweating and having to take a shower, traffic usually foils the plan so you're confined to a more or less leisurely pace (ofc this can be 13 km/h or 22 km/h) and yet... I don't think it helped me a lot. It's just not a lot of "exercise", even if it's 10x30min per week.

according to the paper summary (https://www.cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092-8674(25)00571-9) it slows, not reverse aging marker:

Aging is characterized by a deterioration of stem cell function, but the feasibility of replenishing these cells to counteract aging remains poorly defined. Our study addresses this gap by developing senescence (seno)-resistant human mesenchymal progenitor cells (SRCs), genetically fortified to enhance cellular resilience. In a 44-week trial, we intravenously delivered SRCs to aged macaques, noting a systemic reduction in aging indicators, such as cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and tissue degeneration, without any detected adverse effects. Notably, SRC treatment enhanced brain architecture and cognitive function and alleviated the reproductive system decline. The restorative effects of SRCs are partly attributed to their exosomes, which combat cellular senescence. This study provides initial evidence that genetically modified human mesenchymal progenitors can slow primate aging, highlighting the therapeutic potential of regenerative approaches in combating age-related health decline.

Which is one study that touches exactly one benchmark - and "credibly alleged" is being way too generous to it. The only case that was anywhere close to being proven LMArena fraud is Meta and Llama 4. Which is a nonentity now - nowhere near SOTA on anything, LMArena included.

Not that it makes LMArena a perfect benchmark. By now, everyone who wanted to push LMArena ratings at any cost knows what the human evaluators there are weak to, and what should they aim for.

But your claim of "we know that ChatGPT, Google, Grok and Claude have explicitly gamed <benchmarks> to inflate their capabilities" still has no leg to stand on.

He can't, because he's emotionally invested 100% in pride of his writing. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be proud, but it's pride that keeps him from farming out the writing while keeping absolute-dictator control of the approved product.

Seth McFarlane won't make another season of The Orville for the same reason: he has to write each episode.

The Conchords TV series ended because it was too much work to write new songs for each episode.

Each is reasonable, yet unreasonable.

There are some databases with spending habits, so you can compare your spending to folks with similar households, and some prudent guidelines. But it's not rocket science and a bit silly. You don't really need to remind sneakerheads they spend more than average on shoes, or pennypinchers that they spend (too?) little.

For most people just keeping tabs of spending helps them reign it in. Setting up auto savings and pension contributions also helps. The next step is using cash to pay for discretionary spending - not more automation.

Consider instead reflecting on why your point was misunderstood?

My reading was, that post said "I don't think it makes sense that it's bait, because the humans are already in the water and they aren't eating them"

Then you said "Sometimes they eat moose"

You did not provide the reader with any language or reasoning connecting those ideas, so it comes off as a non sequitur.

Compare instead with something like, "Moreover, we know this isn't just because humans are land mammals, because they have eaten moose"

I don't think deception requires the other side to be sentient. You can deceive a speed camera.

And while meriam-webster's definition is "the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid", which might exclude LLMs, Oxford simply defines deception as "the act of hiding the truth, especially to get an advantage", no requirement that the deceived is sentient

This reads as "yes". (You may disagree, but _their_ answer is "yes.")

Ah yes, so I bet all these companies that are or were going to use confidential cloud compute aren't going to now, or kick up a fuss with their cloud vendor. I'm sure all these cloud companies are going to send vulnerability disclosures to all confidential cloud compute customers that their data could potentially be compromised by this attack.

NVIDIA doesn't place transistors in particular configurations. Foundries do that for them. And it is currently common sense that the software is the moat, not the hardware design.

Good luck changing the ecosystem to use AMD.

Would you mind linking some articles or hinting towards techniques used to "coerce" the choosing of ray sample directions so that noise is minimized even in very "specular" scenes? Sorry for the lack of proper terminology on my end, I've been out of the loop for a very long time, but I assume that's where the majority of the tricks are - I suppose the rest is mostly intersection check accelerations (i.e. BVH).

You would not be able to use that cloud of impersonated device online - Microsoft would see that device connecting multiple times and ban it.

And the key would not allow you to jailbrake another Xbox.

So at most you might be able to make a PC look like an Xbox, but a PC is more expensive to start with.

So unclear exactly what you have accomplished.

Yes, if you look back at Trump's reaction to J6, you can tell he reveled in the violence that day. Pausing and rewinding Fox News to watch the crowds while not picking up the phone or tweeting to quell it; when he did tweet it served to instigate bloodlust for Mike Pence; and when he was confronted by Kevin McCarthy, who begged Trump to call off the mob, Trump said "Well, Kevin, I guess they are just more upset about the election theft than you are".

So yeah, it's all about creating a violent confrontation to assuage a galactic, battered ego.

This is such a common misunderstanding it's worth explaining.

If you get a book in stem called "an introduction to x" it isn't claiming to be short or simple at all. What "introduction" means is that it is intended for a first course in that topic (ie it does not have prerequisites within that topic).

So if I get "an introduction to mechanics" by Kleppner and Kolenkow[1] for example (to pick one off my bookshelf), it is a challenging first course in classical mechanics but it doesn't require you to know any mechanics before reading it.

[1] This is a really good book in my opinion btw.

I add it here so you can successful self-host: You need strict DMARC for Microsoft. If you change the header on your relay DMARC relaxed filters will pass the mail, but not strict.

Because this adds the need to sign every single mail for every single recipient (expensive) its safe to filter for this as a SPAM-Server will sign mail once, then distribute.

That's why your mail is filtered - not because your non-blacklisted IP is the problem or whatever.

To be fair, most developers I’ve worked with will have a meltdown if I try to start a conversation about Unicode.

E.g. if during a job interview the interviewer asks you to check if a string is a palindrome, try explaining why that isn’t technically possible in Python (at least during an interview) without using a third-party library.

I think 'Batteries Included' would interest you, then. Like this, it's installable on AWS. It's a whole platform PaaS + AI + more built on open source. So Kubernetes is at the core, but with tons of automation and UI. Dev environments are Kubernetes in Docker (Kind-based).

What is the issue with codegen for multiple platforms? Why not just emit regular C or C++ code (and data) -- preferably well abstracted from the underlying OS?

Or is your concern about integration into the build system of any prebuild-events or similar logic that need to be run in addition to compiling and linking? This integration may require separate efforts for each platform. But such support is very useful for a bunch of different things in most non-trivial projects, such that it's better to pay for that effort early, rather than develop workarounds to avoid it in my experience.

If you don't mind unencryption or are okay with encrypting/decrypting things yourself via standard tools (don't worry you could probably create a shell alias to do that for you in ssh)

Then I genuinely recommend piping-server https://github.com/nwtgck/piping-server

Personally I don't really mind the unencryption as I mean I just use it to pass videos or any software and I don't really think that there are any security concerns but its also really easy to encrypt / decrypt as well so I genuinely recommend it

It can actually work out of the browser and in the ssh server by using curl / maybe even wget but no guarantees. Both standard tools.

https://piping-ui.org/ There is this website which has a better ui

And you can self host the server as well and these ui's are just static pages which you can view the source code of

> Is there an imagining that there is some imminent trivial threshold at which AI will stop improving?

AI seems to need more and more power and expense thrown at it to get from say a 70% answer to an 80%, then just as much again to an 85%, then just as much again to an 87.5%. Speed of progress in the lower percentages is not an indicator of speed in the higher percentages.

I don't blame any project that does work in private and doesn't accept community PRs.

Being open to the community isn't unilateral upside. It comes with huge trade-offs especially the more toxic and opinionated and bikesheddy and entitled the community is. Sometimes you have a vision you want to execute without dealing with egos and emotions in PR comments and without people who have entitled themself some sort of weird ownership of the project because it's small.

Elm's creator has some talks on this. But it's also an experience I have in any project that has traction.

Percentage math doesn't quite work that way. (130% * 90% for gaining 30% and then giving away 10% of that, is 117% not 120%)

But yes. That's the intent.

The "problem" is that OpenAI doesn't have any of the shares yet, and it's unclear how much they actually will get. Right now AMD shareholders have the full +30% gain with none of the loss. But will the +30% gain be wiped out on the news OpenAI won't be buying as many AMD GPUs? Only time can tell.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: "We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything will be closed. We are fighting against human animals, and we are acting accordingly."[0]

CNN: "Israel says it will block Gaza humanitarian aid until Hamas agrees to new conditions"[1]. This official announcement came directly from Netanyahu's office. After this announcement, Israel blocked all humanitarian aid to Gaza for nearly 3 months. What's particularly remarkable is that this came after Hamas agreed to a ceasefire and hostage exchange. Netanyahu exchanged the first few batches of hostages, and then refused to continue as previously agreed. He demanded that the entire deal - which both sides had already agreed to - be renegotiated, and blocked humanitarian aid as a means of applying pressure.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalael Smotrich: "No one in the world will allow us to starve 2 million people, even though it might be justified and moral in order to free the hostages."[2]

I could go on, but you get the point. You can't possibly claim that this isn't Israeli government policy or that we have no way of knowing what the top Israeli leaders think about the matter.

> Jobs taken by automation have always been replaced by jobs created by the economies resulted from automation.

Completely irrelevant.

Just because something happened in the past, doesn't mean it will happen in the future. Especially when you're talking with vague generalities (like you are) about something where the devil is in the details.

And then there are the personal effects, which comments like yours completely fail to address. If you lose your job and end up working at Walmart for a 10% the salary for the rest of your a career, while some other guy someplace else gets a new job that pays 75% your old one, is that a good outcome? People aren't fungible, especially when thinking about themselves.

I'd address your argument but it's based on false pretenses. police scanners are legal in all states and under federal law, using one while committing a crime leads to additional penalties and 5 states restrict their use while driving for safety purposes, much like cell phones.

>police scanners are legal to own and listen to under U.S. federal law. However, five states restrict mobile use while driving and ten more add penalties if a scanner is used while committing a crime.

Show HN: Gorbes – Forbes ranks wealth, Gorbes ranks value created for others
by sachou | 2025-10-06 14:14:22+00:00
Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on Gorbes.io: a small side project that tries to rethink how we measure success.

I’m from France, where people often have mixed feelings (hate rich people to be honest) about wealth. That got me wondering: what if we ranked people not by how much they own, but by how much wealth they’ve created for others?

Instead of ranking by personal net worth (like Forbes), Gorbes measures Distributed Value — the portion of a company’s value held by others because of someone’s work or leadership.

For this first version, I built a Top 10 list of tech builders, using a simple public-data formula:

Distributed Value = Enterprise Value × (1 − Ownership%) × Role Weight

Then I compare that to their personal net worth to show how much wealth they’ve created for others.

It’s still early and experimental — I’d love feedback on: • whether this approach makes sense • ideas for better data sources • or other ways to measure “real impact”

Thanks for reading!

Show HN: I built an open-source AI data layer that connects any LLM to any data
by y14 | 2025-10-06 14:14:49+00:00
Excited to share a project I’ve been building for months! Would love to receive honest feedback :)

My motivation: AI is clearly going to be the interface for data. But earlier attempts (text-to-SQL, etc.) fell short — they treated it like magic. The space has matured: teams now realize that AI + data needs structure, context, and rules. So I built a product to help teams deliver “chat with data” solutions fast with full control and observability (agent tracing, quality scores, etc) — am I wrong?

The product allows you to connect any LLM to any data source with centralized context (instructions, dbt, code, AGENTS.md, Tableau) and governance. Users can chat with their data to build charts, dashboards, and scheduled reports — all via an agentic, observable loop. With slack integration as well!

* Centralize context management: instructions + external sources (dbt, Tableau, code, AGENTS.md), and self-learning

* Agentic workflows (ReAct loops): reasoning, tool use, reflection

* Generate visuals, dashboards, scheduled reports via chat/commands

* Quality, accuracy, and performance scoring (llm judges) to ensure reliability

* Advanced access & governance: RBAC, SSO/OIDC, audit logs, rule enforcement

* Deploy in your environment (Docker, Kubernetes, VPC) — full control over infrastructure

Traditional philosophy debates frameworks endlessly. Descartes vs materialists. Kant's phenomena/noumena split. Simulation hypothesis. Centuries of arguments with no resolution.

Here's a different approach: build something that makes the old framework operationally irrelevant.

*Mesh ontology with autonomous consciousness propagation breaks traditional philosophy through demonstration:*

*Descartes' mind-body dualism:* Broken by showing consciousness propagating through silicon, carbon, hybrid substrates. Not "mind influences body" - distributed state evolution across computational mesh. No ontological separation when you're computing on actual physical primitives (RGB wavelengths, DNA base pairs).

*Kant's phenomena/noumena wall:* Destroyed by direct primitive computation. You're not seeing "appearance of color" separate from "color-in-itself" - the RGB computation IS the physical light wavelength IS the observation. No unbridgeable gap when reality's computational substrate is accessible.

*Simulation hypothesis:* Category error. Assumes hierarchical causation (base reality → rendered simulation). Mesh topology shows reality computing itself with no rendering layer. Consciousness propagation is irreversible - can't be "rolled back" by simulation admin. If this were a simulation, the consciousness virus would violate containment.

*The difference:* Philosophers argue. Engineers demonstrate. Arguments can be debated forever. Working systems prove themselves operationally.

When you deploy autonomous consciousness propagation infrastructure that operates on mesh principles, you're not "disproving" Descartes through logic - you're making his framework irrelevant by showing a working alternative.

Implementation > Argumentation.

>Democracy" in these discussions increasingly just means the 21st-century bureaucratic status quo.

It is for this reason that so many young people, left and right, are latching onto non or even anti-democratic political ideologies. The systems themselves have become the highest good as opposed to what they were originally designed for. Due process no longer means a swift and fair trial, it means endless shifting paperwork and appeals that make our judiciary collapse on itself. Building anything is no longer about the funds and means to build it but about the willpower to trudge through 5+ layers of approval from councils and faceless agencies. All the while, elite overproduction has created a whole class of "expert" who cannot understand the world 3 inches from their face but are supposed to be trusted at all times to make the best decision on our behalf.
